Potholes, ruts, mud and washouts usually start with a poor base and bad drainage. Xcavate Land Solutions provides gravel driveway installation and repair in Lafayette, Louisiana and throughout Acadiana for homeowners, farms, businesses and rural landowners.
We clear and excavate the path, shape a crowned grade that sheds water, install culverts where needed, and lay and compact quality limestone or crushed concrete in layers. The result is a firm, well-drained driveway that is easy to maintain and built for daily traffic, trucks and equipment. Need the land cleared or graded first?

From a short residential driveway to a long rural access road, Xcavate Land Solutions brings the right equipment, quality materials, and a clear plan to build driveways that last.
New gravel driveways and turnarounds for homes, built with a compacted base and proper slope so they stay firm, dry and free of standing water.
Gravel parking areas, equipment yards and laydown areas for businesses and contractors, built to handle heavy trucks and daily traffic.
Long driveways, field roads, lease roads and access to barns, ponds and hunting land, built to stay passable after heavy rain.
Regrading, base repair and fresh gravel for driveways with potholes, ruts, washouts and poor drainage.
Complete installation from start to finish: clearing, excavating, base preparation, geotextile fabric where needed, and layers of compacted gravel for a driveway that lasts.
We help you choose the right material for your budget and traffic, from crushed limestone to recycled crushed concrete, and install it to the proper depth.
We fix potholes, ruts and washboarding by regrading the surface, rebuilding the crown, and adding fresh gravel so water runs off instead of soaking in.
Driveway culverts and side ditches installed at the right size and grade so water flows under and away from your driveway instead of washing it out.
Soft soil is removed and replaced, and the base is shaped and compacted in lifts, the step most often skipped and the key to a driveway that does not sink or rut.
Gravel parking pads, RV and boat pads, turnarounds and equipment areas built level and compacted to handle heavy loads.
A great gravel driveway is not just rock spread over dirt. It needs a properly prepared base, the right gravel at the right depth, and a grade that moves water away, or it will rut and wash out after the first big storm.
At Xcavate Land Solutions, we walk your property, look at the soil, traffic and drainage, and recommend the right build for your budget. With our own excavation and grading equipment, we handle the whole job, from clearing the path to the final layer of compacted gravel.
From your first call to the final layer of gravel, we keep your driveway project clear and hassle-free. You will always know what is happening on your property and what comes next.

Cost depends on the length and width of the driveway, the type and depth of gravel, how much base preparation is needed, and whether culverts or drainage work are required. We give free, clear quotes after looking at your property.
Crushed limestone and recycled crushed concrete are the most popular choices in Acadiana. Both compact well and handle heavy traffic. We recommend the best option based on your traffic, budget and soil.
Most residential driveways need several inches of compacted gravel over a well-prepared base, while driveways that carry trucks or equipment need more. Soft or clay soils may also need geotextile fabric and a thicker base.
A properly built gravel driveway can last for many years with occasional maintenance, such as adding a fresh top layer and regrading. Good drainage and a solid base are what make it last.
Potholes and ruts are usually caused by poor drainage, a weak base, or a driveway without a crown to shed water. We fix the cause by regrading, improving drainage and rebuilding the base where needed.
If your driveway crosses a roadside ditch or a natural drainage path, you will usually need a culvert. Many parishes require one for driveways connecting to a public road. We install culverts sized and set correctly.
Yes. We regrade, rebuild the crown, fix soft spots and add fresh gravel to bring worn-out driveways back to a smooth, solid surface.

Yes. We build parking pads, RV and boat pads, equipment yards and long rural access roads for homes, farms and businesses.
