Rick stopped by and inspected the problem trees. We decided together topping them was not a good option and decided to remove them completely. He was fine with me discussing the expense with my wife. When I called him back we were able to schedule with no delays. Rick and his assistant were on site as scheduled. They worked safely and efficiently as a team, with Rick doing the climbing and cutting and Warren doing the ground work. They then traded roles with Warren doing the stump grinding and Rick the support. Clean up was excellent including raking, sweeping and then blowing. Very professional, and very obvious they had worked many hours together. Zero issues with the close deck, the existing lawn or the nearby wall and driveway. I couldn't be happier with the final result. Minimal work will be required to re-seed the lawn. THANKS Rick and Warren for a job well done at a fair price.

The person who ripped out the old driveway helped us with one little irregular part of where the water flows in rainstorm and was very friendly. The crew who put in the new driveway did a very good job. Also, in the estimate, there was one thing we weren't sure if we would need when they ripped out the old driveway ("cap" fill in by garage) so they put it in the first estimate and when it turned out that we did not need it, they remembered to credit that on our final bill. Overall, we were really pleased and we really enjoy the smooth new driveway--not even a bump when the car goes in and out of the garage.

FAQs for gravel driveway repair projects in Alexandria, MN
The average cost of a gravel driveway is about $1.25 to $2 per square foot, including the cost of materials, equipment, and professional installation. For example, a 16-by-30-foot driveway costs about $1,500. Cost factors include the type of gravel, how thick the gravel is installed, the condition of the landscape, and labor costs. Overall costs will vary depending on where you live and how accessible the job site is.
Concrete can crack from general wear, improper installation, or in response to uneven support from the soil underneath. Small, thin cracks on the surface of aging concrete are usually a result of normal wear and tear, while cracks on new concrete more likely indicate a problem with installation. Larger cracks or uneven steps can signify a much more severe issue. A concrete contractor should be able to diagnose the cause and repair concrete cracks for you.
The cost to install a concrete driveway is $4 to $15per square foot on average. Your price heavily depends on your desired concrete finish and driveway size.
For a driveway that is 200 square feet, you can expect to pay an average cost of $1,900. For a driveway at double that size (400 square feet), the average price is closer to $3,800. Plain concrete is significantly more cost-effective, averaging $7 per square foot, whereas stained concrete averages around $19 per square foot.
The cost of resurfacing concrete is $6 per square foot on average, though that cost can range from $3 to $9per square foot.
For a driveway that is 200 square feet, you can expect to pay $600 to $1,800, and for a driveway that is 500 square feet, that cost averages $1,500 to $4,500. Resurfacing your driveway will give you the look and feel of a new surface without the hefty cost.
A gravel driveway should be at least 4 to 6 inches deep, depending on the soil it’s installed on. Softer soil that doesn’t drain well should have a deeper gravel driveway. Deeper gravel will mean you spend more on materials and labor, but you’ll get a more stable driveway and avoid damage that needs to be filled or graded flat again.
