Stop Wasting Gravel: Restore Your Road the Right Way

Gravel roads and driveways are built to take a beating—but over time, even the most solid surfaces wear down. Ruts develop, potholes form, grass tries to take over and/or rain washes out key sections. When this happens, most people assume the solution is simple: just add more gravel.

However, that approach doesn’t always fix the underlying issue.

At RLTW Land Clearing, we take a smarter, more effective route. Using a soil conditioner attachment, we restore and regrade gravel roads by bringing the existing stone back to the surface and leveling the ground properly. As a result, you get a smoother, longer-lasting surface without overpaying for materials you may not actually need.


Why More Gravel Isn’t Always the Answer

Tossing down another load of rock may make the surface look better for a few weeks. But in reality, it doesn’t address the compaction, uneven base, or buried gravel beneath the surface. These underlying issues will simply resurface, and you’ll find yourself repeating the same costly fix again and again.

Instead of starting from scratch, our method helps reclaim what you already have—and puts it to work.


What a Soil Conditioner Attachment Does

A skid steer-mounted soil conditioner is designed for this exact job. It uses rotating carbide teeth to:

  • Break up compacted gravel and subgrade material

  • Bring existing rock back up to the surface

  • Even out high and low spots across the road

  • Blend in new material (like crusher run or #57 stone) when needed

In other words, we reset your gravel road without a full tear-out.


Our Gravel Road Restoration Process

Here’s what a typical job looks like:

  1. First, we run the soil conditioner attachment to break up the surface and expose the buried gravel.

  2. Next, we redistribute the stone evenly across the road or driveway.

  3. Then, we bring in additional gravel if needed, conditioning it into the existing material for a smooth, cohesive surface.

  4. After that, we regrade the surface to improve water runoff and prevent future erosion.

  5. Finally, we can compact the area for added durability.

As a result, your road doesn’t just look better—it performs better.


Why This Approach Saves You Money

Choosing to restore your gravel road with a soil conditioner:

  • Reduces the need for repeated gravel deliveries

  • Extends the lifespan of the material you already paid for

  • Improves drainage and prevents erosion issues

  • Delivers long-term value with a stronger, more stable surface

Therefore, instead of overspending on quick fixes, you’re investing in a long-term solution.
