If you have a gravel or dirt driveway, you know how quickly it can develop ruts, washouts, and uneven surfaces. Heavy rain, regular use, and time all take their toll. Most driveway repairs involve hauling in truckloads of new gravel, which gets expensive fast.
TexTerra Solutions offers a better approach. Using specialized driveway leveling equipment, we can resurface and repair your gravel driveway without adding new material. This method saves you money on gravel costs, extends the life of your existing driveway, and delivers a smooth, well-maintained surface.
We serve property owners and ranchers throughout Central Texas who are tired of dodging potholes and dealing with washouts every time it rains. If your driveway looks like a commercial parking lot where you’re picking your way around craters, we can fix that.
What We Do
Driveway Resurfacing
We use a land leveling attachment that redistributes your existing gravel, pulling material from high spots and filling in low areas, ruts, and potholes. The result is a smooth, even surface that looks and performs like new.
This process works because most driveways have plenty of gravel—it’s just not distributed properly anymore. Our equipment does in one pass what would normally require digging, regrading, and hauling in new material.
Gravel Parking Lot Resurfacing
We resurface and maintain gravel parking lots for commercial and event-based properties. Our leveling equipment redistributes existing material to correct potholes, ruts, and uneven surfaces while improving drainage. This cost-effective approach extends the life of your parking lot and reduces long-term maintenance expenses.
Common applications include:
- Wedding venues & event spaces
- Restaurants & breweries
- Churches & community centers
- Rural businesses & commercial properties
Washout Repair
Heavy rain can create significant washouts, especially on sloped driveways. We repair these washouts by reshaping the driveway, improving drainage, and restoring a stable, even surface. Depending on the severity, we may recommend adding some gravel, but in many cases we can work with what’s already there.
Pothole & Rut Elimination
Potholes and ruts form when water pools and heavy vehicles compress the gravel unevenly. Our leveling equipment removes these imperfections by redistributing material across the entire surface, creating a uniform, compacted driveway.
Crowned Driveways for Better Drainage
A properly crowned driveway sheds water to the sides instead of letting it pool in the center. We can reshape your driveway to establish or restore this crown, which significantly reduces future maintenance and keeps the surface in better condition year-round.
Ongoing Maintenance Programs
We’re developing subscription-based maintenance plans for property owners who want regular upkeep. These plans would include periodic visits—three to four times per year—to resurface and maintain your driveway before problems develop.
How the Leveling Equipment Works
Our driveway leveling system is designed specifically for gravel and dirt roads. It uses a precision grading blade combined with a leveling mechanism that redistributes material evenly across the surface. Unlike a standard box blade, which can leave ridges and uneven spots, our equipment creates a smooth, consistent finish in a single pass.
This equipment is particularly effective on driveways that already have a gravel base but have deteriorated over time. It’s faster, more cost-effective, and less disruptive than traditional repair methods.
Why This Approach Saves You Money
- No New Gravel Needed (Usually): Most gravel driveways have enough material—it’s just not where it needs to be. By redistributing the existing gravel, we eliminate the cost of purchasing and hauling new material.
- Extended Driveway Lifespan: Regular maintenance with our leveling equipment keeps your driveway in good condition for years. By addressing small problems before they become major repairs, you avoid the need for complete reconstruction.
- Reduced Long-Term Costs: A well-maintained driveway requires less frequent repair. Our approach reduces the ongoing costs of driveway ownership by preventing the severe deterioration that leads to expensive fixes.
Common Driveway Problems We Fix
- Ruts from Vehicle Traffic: Heavy vehicles and repeated use create deep ruts that collect water and worsen over time.
- Potholes from Water Damage: Potholes form when water undermines the base and creates voids. We fill these in and reshape the driveway to prevent future water damage.
- Washouts from Heavy Rain: We repair washouts, improve the drainage pattern, and restore the driveway to a stable condition.
- Uneven Surfaces & High/Low Spots: Our equipment redistributes migrated material to create a uniform surface.
- Poor Drainage & Standing Water: We regrade and crown the surface to establish proper drainage and keep water moving off the driveway.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does driveway leveling cost compared to adding new gravel? In most cases, leveling costs significantly less. When you factor in the cost of gravel by the ton, delivery charges, and spreading, the savings add up quickly.
How long does the leveling process take? Most residential driveways can be leveled in a few hours. Longer driveways or those with significant damage may take most of a day. You can typically use the driveway immediately after we finish.
Will I ever need to add new gravel? Eventually, yes. Over many years, gravel does get displaced or lost. However, regular maintenance extends the time between needing new material by preserving what you already have.
