Gravel Driveways in Holt, MI
Holt sits just six miles north of our shop in Mason, so we keep a steady presence here. Many of the larger lots between Aurelius Road and Cedar Street still run on gravel drives, and we have built or refreshed dozens of them over the years.
About Our Work in Holt
Holt is one of our closest communities and a regular stop for the truck.
Whether you need a brand new gravel driveway or your existing one is full of ruts, potholes, and puddles, we handle it right the first time. We work with multiple aggregate types to match your property and budget, and every job is graded for proper water drainage so your driveway holds up through Michigan seasons.

Ground Conditions in Holt
The Holt-Delhi corridor sits on a mix of sandy loam and clay pockets that shifts every few properties. North of Cedar Street the soil drains well; south of Aurelius it gets heavier and holds water longer. We test the ground before we spec the base so we are not using one recipe on every job.
Older Holt subdivisions have tight easements where the truck can only back in from one direction, which forces material staging off the property.
We stage the trailer on a public shoulder with permission, run smaller loads with the single-axle truck, and finish tight drives in one day without blocking neighbors.
Regraded and topped a 250-foot driveway off Aurelius Road that had washed out during the 2026 spring rains. We reset the crown, cut a swale on the low side to shed water off the drive instead of down it, and finished with fresh 23A limestone.

How It Works
Site Evaluation
Mark visits your property, evaluates drainage patterns, soil conditions, and measures the area. You get an honest assessment and a clear quote.
Preparation
We pre-grade the area, remove existing sod if needed, and address any drainage issues before a single load of gravel is laid.
Base Layer
A compacted base layer goes down first for stability. This is what separates a professional job from gravel dumped on dirt.
Surface & Grade
Top layer is spread, crowned for drainage, and compacted. All edges are hand-raked for a clean finish.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the job with you to make sure everything meets your expectations before we leave.
Questions from Holt Homeowners
Do you serve Holt, MI?
Yes. Holt is 6 miles from our shop in Mason, MI, about a 12-minute drive. We work in Holt regularly and treat it as part of our core service area.
How quickly can you get to a job in Holt?
For estimates, usually within a couple of days. For the actual work, scheduling depends on the season — busy spring and fall mean 1 to 3 weeks out, off-season much faster. Mark will give you a real timeline at the estimate, not a vague "we'll get to it."
How much does a gravel driveway cost?
Every driveway is different. Cost depends on length, width, condition of the base, and gravel type. We provide free on-site estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
How long does installation take?
Most residential driveways take 1-2 days. Larger properties or driveways needing significant base work may take longer.
What type of gravel do you recommend?
We typically recommend 1 1/4 crushed limestone for residential driveways. It compacts well, drains right, and holds up to Michigan winters. Mark will walk you through the options during your estimate.
Do you service existing driveways?
Yes. Regrading, adding material, fixing potholes, and improving drainage on existing driveways is a big part of what we do.
Will my driveway get muddy again?
Proper grading and drainage is the key. We crown driveways so water runs off to the sides instead of pooling. That is the difference between a professional install and a gravel dump.
