Gravel, Sand & Select Fill Installation for Driveways and Pads

Proper material selection and correct installation are critical to how well a driveway, pad site, or rural access road performs over time. The material alone is not what makes a project successful — it must be graded, shaped, and compacted correctly to hold up under traffic and weather.

JW Tractor Work installs crushed granite, select fill, and cushion sand as part of residential and rural projects throughout North Texas.

Crushed Granite for Driveways and Roads

Crushed granite is the primary material used for gravel driveway construction and repair. Because it contains angular stone and fines, it compacts and binds together better than clean or round rock.

Proper installation includes:

• Preparing and shaping the base
• Installing material at the correct depth
• Establishing proper crown and drainage
• Compacting for long-term performance

When installed correctly, crushed granite provides a durable surface that resists washouts and rutting.

Select Fill for Pad Preparation

Select fill is commonly used for building house pads, shop pads, barn pads, and other foundation sites. The material must be installed in controlled lifts and compacted properly to prevent settling.

Pad preparation may include:

• Cutting and filling to establish grade
• Moisture conditioning
• Compaction for stability
• Elevation planning for drainage

A properly prepared pad site prevents future structural and drainage problems.

Cushion Sand and Fine Materials

Cushion sand is often used for fine grading, leveling, and certain arena applications. It can also help fine-tune elevations and support drainage improvements on residential and rural properties.

Material selection depends on the specific application and long-term use of the area.

Material Supplied and Installed

JW Tractor Work supplies and installs gravel, sand, and select fill as part of driveway, pad, and grading projects. Material quantities and delivery options depend on the scope of work and project requirements.
