Transforming Properties With Quality Driveway Installations
A durable, properly constructed driveway is a vital asset for any residential or commercial property. However, not all driveway contractors have the skills and experience to do the job right. Many pour subpar bases, make drainage errors, use inferior materials, or take other shortcuts that compromise quality and longevity. At Cornerstone Land Clearing, we take driveway building seriously.
For years, we have specialized in crafting gravel, dirt, and paved driveways tailored specifically to each property’s needs and geography. Our thorough process addresses all elements, from subsurface excavation and compaction to drainage integration to long-wearing surface materials and professional installation. Whether you require a new driveway or repairs to extend your existing drive, Cornerstone has the expertise to maximize quality and longevity. Contact us today to discuss your driveway needs.

Repairs
We can patch potholes, ruts, and any failing sections to restore a smooth drive.
Rejuvenation
Refreshes old drives by filling washed-out areas, grading, and adding new stones.
Edging
We can install borders to prevent stone from migrating into yard areas.
Re-crowning

Gravel offers great versatility. Let us create the perfect drive for your property needs and budget.
Dirt and Clay Driveway Creations
- For rural properties, a dirt or clay driveway may be the ideal option. With proper construction, these can still deliver years of reliable service. We provide:
New Construction – Installation involves excavation, grading, drainage integration, and compaction.
- Repairs – We fix ruts, potholes, and washouts, and add reinforced surfaces like gravel or crushed stone.
- Re-Grading – Reshapes the surface profile to shed water and eliminate puddles.
- Compacting – Compressive force applied with rollers densifies and strengthens the drive.
- Stabilization – We mix in stone aggregates or geosynthetic grids to fortify soft dirt against loads.
- Erosion Control – Sloping, water bars, and revegetation prevent erosion issues.
- Maintenance – Provides ongoing upkeep to maximize surface life.
Dirt drives demand attentive care. Let our experts build and maintain one tailored to your needs.

- For those seeking a permanent paved surface, Cornerstone Land Clearing provides start-to-finish asphalt, concrete, and paver driveway construction:
Site Prep – We handle any clearing, grading, excavating, and compacting required to ready the base.

The Driveway Construction Process
At Cornerstone Land Clearing, we adhere to proven construction steps that ensure quality:
- Planning – Driveway design factors like width, route, and materials are decided upon.
- Site Preparation – Vegetation, stumps, and debris are cleared from the driveway path.
- Excavation & Grading – Earth is moved and shaped to achieve proper base elevations and slope.
- Drainage – Culverts, ditches, or swales are added to manage runoff and prevent washouts.
- Base Layer – The subsurface is filled with compacted aggregates or other road base materials.
- Surfacing – Gravel, asphalt, concrete, or pavers are professionally installed on top of the base.
- Compaction – Each layer is compressed thoroughly to prevent shifting and sinking.
- Finishing Touches – Borders, landscaping, and other accessories are added.
When done right, this process yields years of driveway stability and performance.
Maintenance Is Key
Ongoing maintenance is crucial to maximize the longevity of any driveway. We provide the following services:
- Crack sealing – Fill cracks in asphalt or concrete to prevent deterioration.
- Sealcoating – Coat asphalt drives with a protective sealer every 2-4 years.
- Snow removal – Plow driveway surfaces without damaging them.
- Debris clearing – Keep the drive free of leaves, branches, and other debris.
