    I called Family Grade & Gravel to level my driveway and put down limestone. Mark the owner came out and assessed my badly beatin driveway, and was very knowledgeable on what was needed and what would last the longest. He even leveled my drive that day, but had to wait for the seasonal weight restrictions to be lifted to bring the stone. Mark was hands down one of the best people I have ever done business with. Very friendly, honest, and down to earth type of guy! His price was extremely fair, as I did get other estimates. My driveway looks amazing, perfect amount of stone and LEVEL! I could'nt of asked for a better experience from start to finish! I will highly reccomend FG&G, and look forward to working with them again.

  • Very pleased with the quality of the service. I met Mark in our 1500ft driveway as I drove down in the car to warn him that our 38ft motorhome was headed down the driveway. I watched Mark go into overdrive with his trusty tractor, going above & beyond to ensure that we were satisfied with his work. Well, we are MORE than satisfied: we are THRILLED! The quality of the work is excellent, with a reasonable price & good composition of the gravel. Highly recommend this company!

    Mark, his wife Lori, and their crew did a great job of removing overgrowth that had taken over our yard. The debris was removed, the ground was professionally graded, and seed was applied. Our views of the yard are beautiful now and I can't wait for the grass to come in. Thank you for your hard work! I give Family Grade an A+

  • Mark and Lori did such a nice job on restoring my long neglected drive. It now has clean lines and really gave my house a face lift improving curb appeal. They even added more by removing an old steel post and wrapping around my mailbox giving that extra touch! They were so great to work with and did such a good job that I highly recommend them. Really nice people and so easy to talk with. Thank you Mark and Lori!

    Family Grade and Gravel is Awesome! I live back in the woods and just had a pole barn put on the property. My drive way was in rough shape with all the truck traffic in and out of the driveway during the project. Mark came out and gave a good estimate and shared his ideas. He kept in close contact with me as the project date came closer. Even helped me find a tree service to take out a few trees and stumps. I was fortunate to be home while he did the driveway. He showed me step by step what he was doing and why he was doing it. I am already planning my next project to finish up the landscaping and using Family Grade and Gravel without hesitation. Thanks for making a difficult project easy Mark and Family Grade and Gravel!

    Mark and Lori did an outstanding job repairing and upgrading our old washed out driveway. There will be no more getting stuck in our own driveway in the spring! Great communication, fair pricing, professional and friendly. We have already talked with Mark about grading plans for the rest of our property. Highly recommend and will definitely use them again in the future!

    Great gravel work. Graded a driveway that no one could do. Even came back out to fill a few holes after a recent rain. Thanks!

  • After receiving multiple estimates, we hired Mark and his crew to regrade and gravel our long, winding, inclined driveway. They arrived as scheduled and immediately got to work. Upon completion of the project later in the day, they left no trace of having been there with the exception of our brand new beautiful driveway. All work was performed exactly as promised with exceptional detail. Outstanding customer service, pride in their work and fair pricing are what we received from Family Grade & Gravel. Thank you Mark and crew, very happy customers here.

    Thank you, Mark and Lori, for the fantastic job on my driveway last Friday! It looks AMAZING!! Mark also was able to help grade a small hill just off my yard line and even helped moved a huge boulder from my lawn into a flower bed near my house while he was here with his heavy equipment. It was extremely nice to have great people who care come out and do an incredible job. Family Grade & Gravel, your professionalism and outstanding work are unmatched! P.S. my wife was blown away! She canโ€™t believe how you propped that boulder upโ€ฆPERFECT! Thanks again.

  • Can't say enough about Mark and the service he provides. He was extremely thorough and ended up not only making a return trip to drop more limestone, but also did a lot more excavating and work than initially planned and didn't charge me a cent more than his original estimate. The driveway looks far better than j ever could've imagined so if you are needing your gravel driveway redone, I would definitely recommend him.

  • Mark did great work at an affordable price. He even took the time to spray weed and grass killer just in case!

  • We had these guys gravel our driveway and they were fast, professional, and very reasonably priced. Their work is as good as any I have had done in the past. I will call them for any more work I need done in the future. Highly recommend them to anyone.

    Family Grade & Gravel does excellent rock driveway work. Mark completed my driveway a few months ago and just returned to do a little touch up work. I have dealt with a lot of contractors in my time, but none have come close to the friendly, honest, professional service that Mark delivers. The quality of his work is absolutely the best. He is always welcome at my home.
