What Our Customers Say

  • 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!!

  • 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.

    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!

    My husband and I hired Mark and Lori to grade our very long gravel driveway and around our barn. Lori pulled some weeds around our barn - which we didn’t ask to have done. It’s so refreshing to work with people that are professional, on time, caring, particular about their work, charge a reasonable price and are great people too. Thank you, thank you, Mark & Lori! We have more work for you! πŸ’œ

  • 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 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.

    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 can’t believe how you propped that boulder up…PERFECT! Thanks again.

  • Very professional staff working on Wilcox, aware of their surroundings while operating heavy equipment. Their work looks great.

    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 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!
