Gravel Driveway

Hi everyone.
Just wondering if someone could recommend a landscaping company in the Gilford area that would deliver and spread gravel/crushed stone in a residential driveway. Thanks !!

DUFF821, Welocme to the forum.

My gravel driveway is not in the Gilford areas, so I have no referral. I do use crushed stone and decomposed granite mix (Nit-pack). Over the years I've had different folks do the spreading, as they come and go/retire. I dress it up every 7-8 years. It holds up very well with just spreading in the spring and weather and driving doing the packing. Some use a backhoe, some a bobcat, but I've never had it compacted as such. Biggest problem is that the snowplow will scrape it over time. (Always nice to have another cup of coffee when I hear the plow arrive and I can also hear my neighbors out there with snowblowers)
