Durable Access That Handles Daily Use

Gravel driveway and road services from M&B Contracting in the Altus, Oklahoma area install and maintain access routes for residential, farm, and commercial properties.

Your driveway or access road takes a beating from vehicles, equipment, and Oklahoma weather, especially during wet months when ruts form and gravel shifts. Whether you need a new driveway for a home outside Altus, a farm road that supports tractors and trailers, or a commercial access route for deliveries, gravel remains one of the most practical and cost-effective solutions for rural and semi-rural properties. M&B Contracting installs, repairs, and resurfaces gravel driveways and roads designed to withstand heavy traffic and variable conditions.


This service includes grading the base, adding compacted gravel layers, crowning the surface for drainage, and repairing washouts or low spots. The crew uses crushed rock and base material suited to the region and builds driveways that drain properly and resist erosion. You receive a driveway or road that stays firm through wet seasons and supports the weight of trucks, equipment, and daily traffic.


If your property in Altus, Snyder, Frederick or a surrounding area needs a new gravel driveway or road maintenance, get in touch to schedule an assessment and discuss material options.

How Gravel Driveways Are Built to Last

When installing a gravel driveway at your property in Altus, the crew begins by grading the existing surface to remove soft spots and establish proper slope. A base layer of crushed rock is spread and compacted to create a stable foundation, followed by a top layer of smaller gravel that interlocks and resists washout. The surface is crowned so water runs off to the sides rather than pooling in the center.


After installation, your driveway drains quickly after rain, supports heavy vehicles without rutting, and stays firm even when wet. You will notice fewer muddy areas, less tracking of dirt into the house, and easier access for delivery trucks and equipment. The surface remains level and functional through seasonal changes and regular use.


The service includes resurfacing and repair for existing driveways that have developed potholes, washouts, or uneven sections. The crew adds new material, recompacts the base, and restores proper drainage. Maintenance visits can be scheduled periodically to keep farm roads and long access routes in good condition, though frequency depends on traffic volume and weather exposure.

What type of gravel is used for driveways in Altus?
The crew uses crushed rock for the base layer and smaller gravel for the surface, both selected for their ability to compact and drain well in Oklahoma conditions. Material is sourced locally and suited to the weight and traffic your driveway will handle.
How long does a gravel driveway last?
A properly installed gravel driveway can last many years with periodic maintenance such as adding fresh material and regrading. Heavy use or poor drainage may require more frequent attention, but the surface remains repairable and cost-effective over time.
Can gravel driveways handle heavy equipment or farm vehicles?
Yes, gravel driveways are built with compacted base layers that support tractors, trailers, and loaded trucks. The surface is designed to distribute weight and resist rutting, making it a common choice for rural properties and agricultural use.
How is drainage managed on gravel roads and driveways?
The surface is crowned so water runs off to the sides, and ditches or culverts are added where needed to direct runoff away from the road. Proper grading during installation prevents water from pooling and causing washouts.
Does M&B Contracting repair existing gravel driveways?
Yes, the crew provides resurfacing, pothole repair, and regrading for driveways that have developed issues. New gravel is added, the base is recompacted, and drainage is restored to extend the life of your driveway.
