Gravel Regrading with a Harley Rake

Uneven gravel surfaces can lead to poor drainage, vehicle damage, and safety hazards. Over time, traffic and weather conditions cause ruts, potholes, and displaced gravel, making your lot rough and difficult to navigate. Our Harley Rake regrading process is the most effective way to restore a smooth, level, and properly draining gravel surface.

How Our Harley Rake Regrading Works:

    • Breaks Up Compact Layers – The Harley Rake loosens compacted gravel, redistributing material evenly across the lot.
    • Eliminates Ruts & Potholes – By smoothing out low spots and high areas, we create a uniform surface.
    • Improves Drainage – Proper grading ensures that water flows away from the surface, preventing pooling and erosion.
    • Prepares the Lot for Compaction – Once the gravel is evenly spread and leveled, it’s ready for professional compaction to create a firm and stable surface.

Regular regrading keeps your gravel parking lot in top condition, preventing costly repairs and ensuring a safer experience for vehicles and pedestrians.

Compaction for a Stronger, Longer-Lasting Gravel Surface

Once the gravel is properly regraded, compaction is the final step to ensure long-term durability and stability. Without compaction, loose gravel can quickly shift under traffic, leading to new ruts and uneven surfaces.

Why Compaction is Important:

    • Creates a Firm, Stable Surface – Prevents loose gravel from shifting and reduces dust.
    • Enhances Load-Bearing Strength – Supports heavy vehicle traffic without excessive sinking or displacement.
    • Reduces Erosion & Gravel Loss – Keeps material in place, minimizing ongoing maintenance needs.
    • Improves Driving & Walking Conditions – A properly compacted surface is smoother, safer, and easier to navigate.

Using professional-grade compactors, we ensure your gravel parking lot remains durable, level, and ready for heavy use. Whether for commercial, industrial, or private lots, our expert compaction process extends the lifespan of your gravel surface.

Questions About Our Gravel Parking Lot Maintenance?

Over time, gravel parking lots can develop ruts, potholes, and drainage issues, making them difficult to maintain and unsafe for vehicles and pedestrians. Proper regrading with a Harley Rake and professional compaction restores a smooth, stable, and long-lasting surface that withstands heavy traffic and harsh weather. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions property owners have about maintaining their gravel parking lots.

It depends on traffic levels and weather conditions, but most gravel lots benefit from regrading at least once or twice a year to maintain a smooth and functional surface.

A Harley Rake is a specialized piece of equipment that breaks up compacted gravel, levels uneven surfaces, and redistributes material evenly. It’s the most efficient way to smooth out ruts, potholes, and drainage issues.

Compaction locks the gravel in place, preventing shifting and minimizing future maintenance. It also reduces dust, improves drainage, and provides a firmer driving surface.

The time required depends on the size and condition of your lot, but most gravel parking lots can be regraded and compacted within a single day.

Yes! Regrading with a Harley Rake eliminates potholes and low spots, while proper grading techniques help ensure water drains away from the surface.

Yes! By reshaping the surface and compacting the material, we reduce erosion caused by rain, snowmelt, and vehicle traffic.

Not always. If your lot has enough existing gravel, regrading and compacting will redistribute it effectively. However, if the gravel depth is too low, adding fresh material may be necessary for long-term durability.

We recommend crushed limestone or crushed granite with proper drainage properties, as they compact well and resist shifting. We can assess your lot and recommend the best material for your needs.
