BeforeAfterThe same road, the same day. Drag the handle to compare.
Before. Potholed, rutted and corrugated, with the gravel sitting on the edges.
After. Reclaimed, remixed and re-profiled with a crown that sheds water.
Gravel road repairs from Berry and Nowra to Ulladulla and Sussex Inlet.
Nowra, Berry, Kangaroo Valley, Ulladulla, Milton, Sussex Inlet, Huskisson and everything in between, using the gravel you already have.
- Usually far cheaper than re-sheeting, because we reuse the gravel you already have.
- Most roads and driveways are done in a day.
- Drive on it straight away. No curing, no closures.

Patching potholes is why they keep coming back.
Shoalhaven is the biggest patch on the map: Nowra, Berry, Kangaroo Valley, Huskisson, Sussex Inlet, Milton and Ulladulla, with everything from short holiday-house driveways to long bush access roads. Sandy coastal gravel and heavy summer storms are a hard mix. We rework the surface and get it shedding water again.
- Traffic pushes gravel out to the edges, where it sits in a useless ridge.
- Water runs along the low spots that are left behind and softens the base.
- Potholes and corrugations form in the soft spots. Fill them and the water finds them again.

How we work a road.
One pass with a purpose-built machine, three things happening at once.
- 1
Reclaim
Bring the gravel back
Material that has drifted to the edges is cut loose and brought back into the running surface.
- 2
Remix
Break it down and blend it
Carbide discs break up the hardened surface and blend the fines and stone into one consistent layer.
- 3
Re-profile
Rebuild the shape
The road is reshaped with a crown so water sheds to the sides instead of sitting in the wheel tracks.
Only after that can anyone honestly tell you whether you need more gravel.
If it's gravel now, it's a good fit.
We start with the surface you already have.
- Rural driveways and lifestyle blocks
- Farm access roads and laneways
- Private roads shared between neighbours
- Property tracks and firebreak access
- Gravel car parks, yards and turning areas
- Council, forestry and body corporate roads

Shoalhaven questions.
We are in Kangaroo Valley. Do you come down the pass?
Yes. Kangaroo Valley, Berry and the valley roads are all covered. Access and turning room matter more than distance, so send a photo of the road entrance with your enquiry.
Can you book a run of several driveways on one street in Ulladulla or Milton?
Yes, and it is cheaper for everyone. If neighbours on a shared or private road want work done, mention it and David will quote them together.
What kinds of roads can you work on?
Any existing gravel surface: rural driveways, private roads, farm access roads, property tracks, shared roads, gravel car parks and turning areas. If there is gravel there now, we can usually work with it.
How is this different from filling potholes?
Filling a pothole treats one spot. The reason it formed is still there: gravel has moved to the edges, water follows the low points, and the surface has lost its shape. We work the whole surface, bring the material back, remix it and rebuild the profile so water sheds off the road again.
Will you need to bring in new gravel?
Often not. Most roads have more usable material sitting on the edges than people expect. We reclaim that first. If the road genuinely needs more gravel after it has been reworked, we tell you how much and why.
Where do you operate?
The Southern Highlands, Illawarra, South Coast, Goulburn, Yass, Queanbeyan, Braidwood, Canberra, the Monaro, the Snowy Mountains, Tumut and Tumbarumba, and the Boorowa district. If you are outside those areas we can refer you to a partner operator using the same machine.
How do I get an estimate?
Call David on 0413 119 829, or send the enquiry form with your address and a few photos. He will call you back, talk through the road, and give you a price or arrange to look at it.
Do you work on council and commercial roads?
Yes. Council maintenance crews, forestry and farm managers, and body corporates with shared gravel roads all use this process. Insurance certificates and a capability statement are available on request.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the length of the road, its condition and access. Because we reuse the gravel you already have, it is usually far cheaper than re-sheeting. David will give you a clear price before any work starts.
How is this different from getting a grader in?
A grader blade pushes loose material around on top of a hardened surface. This machine breaks that surface down with carbide discs, blends the fines and stone back into one layer, and reshapes it with a crown. The result is a bound, drained surface rather than a tidied-up one, so it lasts longer between visits.
How long does the repair last?
It depends on traffic, rain and whether the drainage was fixed with it, but a road that sheds water lasts many times longer than one that holds it. Most owners see years rather than months, and a light touch-up later is quick because the shape is already there.
Why does my gravel driveway corrugate?
Corrugations form where tyres brake, accelerate or climb: the hard top layer vibrates loose and settles into ripples. Filling them does not last because the surface is still loose on hard. Remixing the whole surface into one consistent layer removes the ripples and the reason they form.
