    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.

  • 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.

    Mark gave me a good price for my driveway work pre-season. He came back and graded my driveway just to make it easier for my daughter's bus weeks before I even got a scheduling date. My driveway looks spectacular! They go above and beyond.

  • We had been dealing with an uneven driveway for years. One call to Family Grade & Gravel fixed the issue. I called for an estimate and the owner, Mark, returned my call quickly. At my home, Mark walked me through what he would do, why I was having the issues, and recommendations for future maintenance. His pricing was competitive and fair. He was very personable and friendly. I will definitely be using the service again in the future. A great family-owned small business!

    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 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!

    I’m extremely happy that I contacted Family Grade and Gravel. Meeting Mark and Lori was fantastic and they really do feel like family. They did a fantastic job on my driveway, which was no small task!! They even helped out with a few other things around the yard. I will be using them in the future for some landscaping needs. I highly recommend them!!

  • 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.

    So glad I called Family Grade and Gravel after a frustrating experience with a different company. Mark and Lori graded, leveled and filled 2 bases with limestone for out-buildings being constructed off-site and delivered. I can't say enough good things about the experience. They had both bases completed in one day and worked until dusk to get it done. They responded very quickly to all my texts and phone calls. Great people, easy to work with and fair prices. It's such a relief to know who I'm going to call when I need grading done now. Already planning on having them back for some additional work. Highly recommend.

  • 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+

    I couldn’t believe the great work that Lori and Mark did on our driveway! They are such kind and genuine people. We enjoyed talking with them and having them complete some other work besides our driveway. It’s nice to know there are people willing to go above and beyond in their work! Mark did a great job grading and making sure the leveling was perfect while Lori precisely shaped all of the edges of the driveway. In the great words of Lori, β€œThe stone really makes your house pop.” She is accurate with how nice the stone looks and how many compliments we’ve gotten in a few short days! I wouldn’t recommend anyone else !

    Fantastic work done on a mess of a driveway. We have two driveways that were full of low spots that filled with water and the slope caused the garage to fill with water when it rained. Mark fixed it all!! Completely redid the slope and added gravel. The driveway has never looked so good! Great job, great company!!
