Potholes that swallow a tire. Washboard that rattles your teeth. Ruts that fill with water every time it rains. Gravel driveways don't fail all at once — they just get a little worse every winter until you dread driving home.
Mad Mud Excavation regrades gravel driveways back to smooth, crowns them so water sheds instead of pooling, and builds gravel pads for shops, garages, RV parking, and equipment. One call, and your driveway stops being the worst part of your day.
Grading work I do
Driveway regrading
Potholes, washboard, and ruts cut out; surface re-leveled and compacted.
Crowning & drainage
Graded with a proper crown so water runs off instead of sitting in the drive.
Gravel pads
Level, compacted pads for shops, garages, carports, RV and trailer parking.
New driveway cuts
Roughing in a new gravel drive where there wasn't one.
Yard leveling & final grade
Leveling ground around new builds and landscaping projects.
Gravel supply & delivery
Fresh crush delivered by the trailer load when your drive needs more than a regrade.
How it works
- 01
Drive it with me
I come look at the driveway — where it holds water, where it breaks down, what the base looks like. Free.
- 02
Cut, crown, compact
The surface gets cut down past the potholes, regraded with proper drainage fall, and left smooth and tight.
- 03
Top up if needed
If the gravel's just thin, I can bring in fresh crush by the trailer load and grade it in.
I work across Surrey, Delta, Langley, White Rock, and Ladner — and half the driveways out here sit on the same clay that makes drainage matter. Grading and drainage go together, and I'll tell you straight if your driveway problem is really a water problem.
FAQ
Straight answers
How often should a gravel driveway be regraded?
Most gravel drives in the Fraser Valley want a touch-up every 1–2 years, depending on traffic and rain. If you're getting potholes every winter, the grade or drainage needs fixing, not just the surface.
Do you supply the gravel?
Yes — crush gravel delivered by the trailer load, graded in as part of the job. If you already have gravel on site, I'll work with that.
Can you build a pad for my shop or garage?
Yes. I cut the area level, bring in gravel, grade it flat, and compact it — a proper base for a shop, garage, carport, or RV pad. Tell me the dimensions when you call.
What does driveway grading cost?
Depends on length, condition, and whether it needs fresh gravel. A simple regrade of an average rural driveway and a full rebuild with new crush are very different jobs. The quote is free — call (778) 980-5788.
My driveway washes out every heavy rain. Will grading fix it?
Grading helps, but washouts are usually a drainage problem wearing a driveway costume. I'll look at where the water comes from and tell you straight whether you need grading, drainage, or both.
