Stone driveways are a beautiful and functional addition to any property, offering homeowners a touch of elegance combined with durability. With over 40 years of experience we can not only enhance the curb appeal of a home but also provide a reliable surface for many years. Here’s what you need to know about the stone driveway installation process offered by BJ & SON.

The first step in the installation process involves a thorough evaluation of the site. This assessment ensures that the ground is suitable for the driveway and identifies any potential issues like drainage problems or uneven terrain. Once this is done, the ground is prepped, which often involves excavating the area, leveling the surface, and laying a robust sub-base, usually made of crushed stone or gravel. This foundational layer is crucial as it provides stability, facilitates proper drainage, and ensures the longevity of the driveway.

After the groundwork is laid, the actual stone placement begins. Homeowners can choose from a variety of stone types, including crushed granite, pea stone, or cobblestones, depending on their aesthetic preferences and budget. These stones are spread evenly over the prepped area, followed by a process of compaction to create a solid surface. Edging might be added to give the driveway a neat finish and to prevent the stones from spreading into the yard. Once installed, a stone driveway requires minimal maintenance, making it a popular choice among homeowners looking for both aesthetics and durability.
