Cypress Ridge Land Management delivers professional gravel driveway installation and repair services throughout Southeast Louisiana. Our durable, well-designed driveways enhance property access while standing up to the region’s challenging climate.
Homeowners often have questions about gravel driveways in our unique climate. Here are answers to the most common questions to help you make informed decisions about your property access solutions.
A proper base for Southeast Louisiana gravel driveways requires 4-6 inches of compacted crushed stone or limestone over geotextile fabric. This foundation prevents the gravel from sinking into our region’s soft soils while providing essential drainage during heavy rainfall. Cypress Ridge ensures proper base preparation for every installation.
Regular maintenance includes regrading every 1-2 years, adding fresh gravel as needed, and addressing drainage issues promptly. After heavy rains, check for and fill any developing low spots. We recommend installing proper edging to contain the gravel and prevent spreading. Contact us about our maintenance programs to keep your driveway in optimal condition.
To fix washouts, first improve drainage by installing or cleaning culverts and diversion channels. Then regrade the surface, compact properly, and add fresh gravel in eroded areas. For persistent problems, we may recommend installing water bars or drainage solutions tailored to your property’s specific conditions. Contact us for a personalized assessment.
