Properly graded, properly drained, properly built. RC Grading installs gravel driveways that hold up to North Georgia mountain terrain — year after year, storm after storm.
Tell us about your project. We'll come out, walk the site, and give you a clear quote — no obligation.
Most gravel driveways fail because of poor grading — not the gravel itself. Water pools, ruts form, and material washes away after every heavy rain. We fix that at the foundation. Before a single load of gravel goes down, we regrade the surface, build proper crown for runoff, and handle any drainage problems that could undermine the driveway long-term. We handle everything from a single-lane driveway on a flat lot to a long, winding mountain access road on a steep slope. North Georgia terrain is unforgiving — rocky soil, sharp grades, and heavy seasonal rain demand a contractor who understands the land, not just the equipment. Our crews have been doing this for over 15 years across Gilmer, Fannin, Pickens, Cherokee, and Dawson counties.
We regrade the base before any material goes down — no shortcuts, no gravel over bad ground.
Crown, cross-drains, and water bars built in from the start — not added as an afterthought.
Properly sized culvert pipe installed at road crossings and outlets wherever the driveway needs it.
We haul the right material, in the right quantity, and spread it evenly for a level, compacted finish.
Machine-compacted surface that sheds water and handles vehicle traffic without rutting out.
Outlet protection, riprap, and slope stabilization to prevent material loss at vulnerable points.

Andy did a great job on resurfacing my gravel driveways and I would highly recommendPosted on Google Michael HofmannTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very reasonable price, did a great job!Posted on Google Barak and Kim SternbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Updating this review because we needed more work done on our property and I can’t do a second review. We chose RC Grading again and glad we did. Still 5 stars!! Once again they did an excellent job. They cleared more land around our house site, leveled out and graveled a spot for our camper and put another layer of gravel down on the driveway. They were efficient and communicated well while doing the project. We still highly recommend them! RC Grading & Hauling did our driveway which is 1/3 of a mile long this past summer. We were just now able to come and see it this December and they did an excellent job! They are very nice and care about their customer service. Get all the quotes you want but chose these guys, they will do the best job.Posted on Google Elliott BaileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted them on a Saturday afternoon about paving our steep, gravel driveway that had begun to wash away and addressing a crevice that had formed between the driveway and paved road. We connected again the following day, Sunday, and I sent multiple pics to Joe. Joe came out the following day, but we had left to drive back home. He called and we shared various options on how he could address the driveway. We agreed paving with asphalt would be best. He gave us the cost, we sent a deposit, and he said he'd work us in over the next couple of months since it was a smaller job. It is a vacation cabin for us and we weren't there, so that was OK. His team came out, did a nice job, sent pics, and left the property in such a way we couldn't tell they were there with the exception of the new driveway being in place. They had also roped it off to keep folks from driving on it. When we later arrived, about a month or so after it was paved, I blew off the leaves and noticed a crack in the pavement. I sent Joe pics and he and Charles came out the next day, examined it, explained what happened, and they already have it on the books for repair. I appreciate their attentiveness, responsiveness, and fairness. I would certainly use them again and highly recommend them to anyone who is considering a job that involves any type of paving.Posted on Google Eric RuthmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Note: My positioning has fallen it appears as you exit central ellijay area, Do you need to target locations like “tails creek” “Mountaintown” “new hope” “yukon” “white path” etc. ?
