Frequently Asked Questions About Gravel and Dirt Work
How much gravel does it take to fix a muddy driveway in Clever, MO?
It depends on the length, width, and how soft the base is, but most rural driveways need at least four to six inches of compacted road base to hold up through wet seasons. Marcus will look at the conditions and give you a straight number.
Do you haul in the material, or does the landowner arrange that?
Troup Ground & Land Works handles the material sourcing and hauling as part of the job. You don't need to coordinate separate deliveries.
Can you spread gravel over an existing driveway without tearing it up?

How is fill dirt different from topsoil, and which one do I need?
Fill dirt is subsoil material used to build up volume, level ground, or support structures, while topsoil is surface soil used for growing. For grading and leveling, fill dirt is the correct choice.

I needed a gravel road built to my cabin. I called Marcus with Troup Ground & Land Works. He was already working in the Fordland area and got to me quickly and did a great job on making the road to the cabin. Highly Recommend!
