Gravel Delivery and Spreading: The Process
At Stephenson Contracting, our gravel services are designed to help homeowners create durable and functional outdoor spaces. Whether you need gravel for driveways, walkways, or landscaping projects, we begin with an assessment of your property to determine the right type and quantity of gravel for your needs. We deliver high-quality gravel and expertly spread it to create an even, compact surface that’s built to last.
Once the gravel is spread, we grade the area to ensure proper drainage and a smooth finish. Our team takes care of all the heavy lifting, so you can enjoy a functional and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space. From large-scale projects to small gravel touch-ups, we handle it all with precision and efficiency.
Types of Gravel for Different Projects
Gravel is not one-size-fits-all, and at Stephenson Contracting, we offer a variety of options depending on the specific needs of your project. For driveways, we often recommend crushed stone or road base gravel, which provides excellent stability and durability for high-traffic areas. For decorative landscaping, pea gravel or river rock is a popular choice, offering a smooth, polished look that’s perfect for garden paths or patio borders.
We also offer larger-sized gravel for drainage solutions, such as French drains or dry creek beds, ensuring that your property manages water runoff efficiently. Our team will help you choose the best type of gravel for your project, balancing functionality with aesthetics.

Properly installed gravel provides a stable, long-lasting surface that can handle heavy traffic without shifting or compacting unevenly. At Stephenson Contracting, we use the right equipment and techniques to spread and grade gravel evenly, preventing issues like puddling, erosion, or ruts that can develop with poorly installed gravel.

Customization Options for Gravel Projects
At Stephenson Contracting, we understand that no two gravel projects are the same. That’s why we offer customization options to meet the specific needs of your property.

We can adjust the size and color of the gravel to match the look and feel of your home’s exterior.
In addition to basic gravel delivery and spreading, we offer services like adding geotextile fabric to prevent weed growth and improve drainage, or incorporating edging materials to keep the gravel in place. With our full-service approach, you’ll get a finished product that not only functions well but also enhances the overall appearance of your outdoor space.
