If your gravel driveway in Sherman keeps washing out, developing ruts, or turning into a mud hole after heavy rain, the issue is usually drainage and base preparation — not just the rock.

Gravel Driveway Repair in Sherman
Most gravel driveway failures in Sherman are caused by:
• Poor drainage
• Incorrect crown or slope
• Soft base material
• Water running down the center
• Storm or flood damage
• Heavy vehicle traffic
Simply adding more rock rarely solves the problem.
The driveway must be reshaped properly. Water must be redirected. In some cases, sections of base need to be rebuilt before new material is installed.
If it keeps washing out, there is a cause. We fix the cause — not just the surface.
New Gravel Driveways and Rural Access Roads in Sherman
For new home construction or rural acreage development around Sherman, proper driveway construction is critical.
A durable gravel driveway requires:
• Proper grading
• Correct slope and crown
• Drainage planning
• Solid base preparation
• Proper material placement
Whether it’s a shorter residential drive or a long rural access road east of 75, the work must be done correctly from the start.
Why Gravel Driveways Fail in Sherman
Many driveways in the Sherman area fail because water is not properly directed off the surface. Without the correct crown and slope, heavy rain will create ruts and erosion. Clay soil underneath can trap moisture and weaken the base, leading to repeated repairs.
Correcting these structural issues prevents ongoing maintenance problems.
