The Fieldstream Standard

Decades of construction experience mean we understand the “why” behind a failing driveway – it’s usually about water. We don’t just move dirt around; we ensure the grade is set to handle the Peterborough climate and heavy runoff.

FAQ

1. Do I need to buy the gravel myself?

We can coordinate the delivery of fresh gravel from local suppliers or work with the material you already have on-site.

2. How long does grading take?

Most small driveways can be graded in under half a day, weather permitting.

3. How often should a gravel driveway be graded?

For most rural drives in the Kawarthas, a yearly “refresh” in the spring or fall helps prevent major washouts and keeps the surface compact.
