Spring in Texas brings more than just bluebonnets—it brings heavy rain, shifting soil, and potholes in driveways. That’s why now is the perfect time to inspect and maintain your crushed limestone road base gravel driveway, the most durable and cost-effective surface option for homes and ranches across Johnson County.
Road base gravel, especially the kind supplied by KK Ranch Stone & Gravel, is a practical, low-maintenance choice that complements rural properties and withstands both weather and wear. Its blend of crushed limestone creates a strong, interlocking surface capable of supporting everything from heavy trucks to daily traffic—without becoming too rough for compact vehicles.
Why Crushed Limestone Road Base Is a Smart Choice
In Cleburne and the surrounding areas, crushed limestone road base is popular for good reason. It’s locally sourced, affordable, and performs well year-round—whether under scorching heat or after intense spring downpours. Its angular texture locks together when compacted, making it ideal for driveways, parking pads, barn entrances, and private roads.
However, like any outdoor surface, road base driveways require occasional upkeep to remain in top shape.
How to Maintain a Road Base Driveway in Texas
Over time, the combination of vehicle use, erosion, and seasonal rain can lead to rutting, potholes, and drainage issues. Follow these tips to keep your gravel driveway looking great and functioning properly:
- Inspect your driveway after winter and spring storms
Look for soft spots, dips, and any areas where gravel has shifted or thinned. - Grade it for proper drainage
Your driveway should have a crown (a slight peak in the middle) that slopes down 2–5% toward the sides. This helps shed rainwater and prevents pooling. - Add fresh gravel every 1–2 years
Apply a new layer of crushed limestone road base to fill low areas and reinforce the surface. - Keep it clear
Remove weeds, standing water, and debris that could damage the gravel surface or create uneven spots. - Don’t shift gravel from one area to patch another
Always replenish with fresh material to maintain uniform support and compaction.
