Winter in Ontario is tough on driveways. Between snow plowing, freeze-thaw cycles, and constant traffic, even the sturdiest gravel driveways can suffer serious wear and tear. If you're unsure whether it’s time for driveway grading, here are the top five signs to watch for:

1️⃣ Potholes and Ruts Everywhere

Deep ruts and potholes not only make for a bumpy ride—they can also damage your vehicle and create drainage issues. If your driveway feels like an obstacle course, it’s time to call the pros.

2️⃣ Standing Water or Poor Drainage

Pooling water is a major red flag. It means your driveway’s grading is uneven and water isn’t flowing away properly. Left unchecked, it can erode your driveway base and lead to bigger problems.

3️⃣ Loose Gravel Migration

Noticing gravel pushed to the edges or thinning in the center? That’s a sign your surface needs reshaping and compacting. Spring grading helps redistribute material evenly across your driveway.

4️⃣ Washboard Effect

Does your driveway look like a ripple board? That’s the infamous washboard effect, often caused by vehicle tires over a poorly graded surface. It makes for a noisy, uncomfortable drive and gets worse without correction.

5️⃣ Driveway Looks “Lower” Than Before

Over time, driveways settle and sink—especially under heavy use and snowplow traffic. If your driveway looks sunken or the transition to the road or garage is uneven, it’s time for grading.
