Peaceful Power Raking- A Pothole Story!

Power raking potholes and leveling a crushed stone driveway. It's ideal to fix crushed stone driveways while the the ground is dry. But, not always possible because most often customers call when it has been raining and potholes are full of water. And, most annoying! This driveway I power raked and leveled in the middle of summer. The customer was tired of driving across the potholes since spring.

Power raking is crucial to fully fixing potholes. A true repair requires the entire area of the pothole to be chewed up and leveled. If you just fill a pothole with loose stone or gravel it will reform quickly and come right back. Unfortunately this driveway has a long stretch that is lower than rest of surrounding yard. It holds water longer which results in more frequent potholes.


I do my best on every driveway to get it level and smooth again. But some driveways are impossible to get completely get rid of potholes. I have talked to this customer a few times of ways to fix it,but it would require building up driveway several inches even over a foot in some areas to be higher than rest of yard. They may pave down the road but for now they keep hiring me to come fix it! Which I am very grateful!
