Gravel driveways in NW Portland
In the hills of Northwest Portland, gravel driveways take a beating from rain and steep grades. We install new driveways and repair worn ones the right way, with proper grading, crowning and drainage instead of just filling potholes.
Whether you need a brand-new driveway or your current one keeps washing out, we'll recommend the right base rock and top layer to make it last.

✓ Pothole & Rut Repair
✓ Grading & Crowning
✓ Culverts & Ditches
✓ Base Rock & Resurfacing
✓ Steep & Long Driveways
Gravel pads in NW Portland
A solid gravel pad gives your shop, pole barn, shed or RV a firm, level, well-drained place to sit. We excavate, place and compact the base so it holds up to heavy loads and wet weather.
We also build parking areas and turnarounds for trucks, trailers and equipment, sized and graded for how you'll use them.
✓ Shop & Pole Barn Pads
✓ Shed & Outbuilding Pads
✓ RV Pads
✓ Parking Areas
✓ Turnarounds
✓ Compacted Base
Land clearing in NW Portland
Blackberries, ivy, brush and overgrowth can take over a property fast. We clear brush, small trees, stumps and debris and turn overgrown ground back into usable space.
Clearing is often the first step for a new home site, shop, trail or simply reclaiming part of your NW Portland property.

Grading in NW Portland
Proper grading keeps water moving away from your home and out of the places it doesn't belong. We level and shape the ground to fix low spots, standing water and uneven areas.
Whether it's final grading around a new home, prepping a yard for landscaping or reshaping a slope, we make sure the ground is ready for what comes next.
✓ Final Grading
✓ Property Leveling
✓ Yard & Landscape Prep
✓ Laser Grading
✓ Slope & Erosion Control
✓ Standing Water Fixes
Drainage in NW Portland
Heavy winter rain on hillside lots can wash out driveways, flood low spots and send water toward your home. We figure out where the water is going and build drainage that moves it where it should go.
We install culverts under driveways and access roads, shape swales and ditches, and build French drains to protect your property through the rainy season.
✓ Culvert Installation
✓ Drainage Swales
✓ French Drains
✓ Ditch Cleaning
✓ Erosion Control
✓ Water Management
