I had Gravel Graders out to give me an estimate to see what they could do to repair my 240 foot long, gravel and sand driveway. It was rutted and difficult to drive up in winter. Well the estimate was a lot less than I expected and I liked Jim's professional manner, so I hired them to work their magic on our driveway. What a difference! Even the neighbors commented on how nice the "asphalt driveway" was. I had to tell them that it was compacted gravel. I highly recommend Gravel Graders and Jim Boeve.

Thanks for stopping by and the kick butt estimate! Its about 1/3 of what I was thinking it would be! Thanks again, Mike
*Comments from email after project was complete: "The transformation was more than I had hoped for which by my standards is very hard to do. Great job again!"

A wonderful job done. Jim was there when he said he would be and did above and beyond my expectations. I am really pleased. Thanks Jim

Jim,
Crushed Asphalt Gravel Driveway is holding up great, I was curious how it would perform this winter
considering your work was not done until late fall and it would not have had much
chance to continue to pack down before winter and the fall rains. No ruts and the
snow plow has not damaged the surface.
Your extra effort to grade and correct the old driveways drainage issues proved
to be worth the time. We are very pleased with the results.
Thanks

Hey Jim - Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for my new crushed asphalt driveway. It's so much better than my wife and I expected! Even after your initial gravel grading the driveway was better than it's ever been - and I've had 'pros' do it before, but nobody did as good of a job as you guys. Then when you put down the crushed asphalt - WOW - I can't believe it. Even after we had 2" of rain fall on it the night you installed it, it's still perfect. That vibrating roller is the key - it looks better than driveways that cost 3-4 times more. Now tell me how many recently installed gravel driveways - or even asphalt in this heat - that you can drive a fork lift on and lift up the back of a truck?? This crushed asphalt driveway is so freakin' cool man. Anyway - just wanted to say thanks and you and Cody did a GREAT job. I'm hugely impressed and will tell everyone I know about your company!! -Mike, Alto, MI
10/15/2010 - Installed a new gravel driveway on a steep hill.
I had a new gravel driveway put in at our cabin. I contacted Jim Boeve and we worked out a time convenient to both of us. He was there the 2 days he said he would be and was right on time. The drive looks great and I am very happy with his work. Cathy, Hesperia
