We’ve been serving Bolton and the surrounding Adirondack region for over 25 years. What started as a logging operation evolved into full-time excavation when we saw too many homeowners getting burned by contractors who overpromised and underdelivered.
Josh is present on almost every job, ensuring the quality that’s built our reputation one project at a time throughout Warren County. We own our equipment, handle our permits, and stand behind our work because this community is our home too.
Bolton’s established neighborhoods and older homes often need driveway solutions that respect existing landscaping while solving drainage challenges unique to our local terrain.
We start with a thorough site evaluation, checking soil conditions, drainage patterns, and access requirements. This prevents surprises that derail timelines and budgets.
Next comes excavation to proper depth, ensuring adequate base preparation for long-term stability. We install the crushed stone base in lifts, compacting each layer to prevent future settling. Proper grading creates the drainage slopes that keep water moving away from your foundation.
Final grading and cleanup leave your property ready for use. Most residential stone driveways in Bolton are completed within 1-3 days, depending on size and complexity. You get realistic timelines upfront, not promises we can’t keep.

Proper installation with adequate base preparation and drainage ensures your driveway remains stable through multiple winter seasons. The permeable surface allows snowmelt to drain naturally rather than creating ice patches. With proper maintenance, a well-installed stone driveway will handle decades of Bolton winters.
