In September, we contacted them and sent pictures of the driveway after a rain so they could see all the indents we were talking about. They sent a response the next business day and said our driveway would be replaced. The crew came out the following day and tore out the driveway and prepared it for the asphalt. We knew the base for the driveway needed a week before the asphalt could be put down. However, 2 weeks went by and they still had not come to complete the job. When contacted and asked for an approximate date our driveway would be completed, we were told they didn't know, they were very busy. Another week went by and my husband stopped by their office to check again. We were concerned the driveway would not be done before cold weather came and they were no longer able to asphalt. Their response was very rude. The owner even stated that tearing up their first driveway was not what he would have done! We pointed out that we did not rip out the driveway ourselves and how could they start the job to fix it and then not complete it? That meeting ended with my husband being told they would come when they had time. We had begun to check on our legal standing about this, but fortunately that option wasn't necessary. The following week, the crew came to our house, completed the job, and we received an apology (hence, the C grade vs. D for overall). This driveway hardened as it should and we have had no issues. We would suggest that someone using DRS only pay half the fee upfront and pay the balance AFTER completion and time to make sure your driveway is satisfactory. Also, check the warranty language very thoroughly. The asphalt mixtures are usually just fine, but there can be batches that have incorrect ratios of those materials and you should not have to live with that when it happens.

The crew showed up on a Tuesday morning and started demolishing the old walk and driveway sections and removing them. I had a couple of appointments to go to in the morning. When I came back a couple of hours later, the old concrete was removed, crushed limestone was in place and leveled. The forms were in place and re-bar set. I ran back out for a little while and when I came back, the crew had cleaned up and left for the day. They did an excellent job of cleaning up. There was very little dirt and stone left in the driveway and on the street. The foreman and the workers on the job were very pleasant to talk to and very professional. Even with work starting so early in the morning, not one word from my neighbors.
Wednesday morning the concrete was poured. When I came home from work that evening, everything was cleaned up. Thursday was their finishing day, and it looked great! For a little extra they also filled in and re-seeded areas that had been dug up in our yard. Aaron called each day just to follow up and let me know how things were going on their end and if I had any questions.

"they did good work, took only 2 days to scrape the gravel part of the driveway to widen it and then to lay the asphalt. The only problem I had was that the materials that were scraped up, gravel/grass was left in a pile at the end of my front yard and they never came to clean it up, despite being called numerous times and being told they would come and pick it up. 2 months later and they have never shown up to clean it up so now I have to figure out how to remove it from my yared before the town starts complaining and I end up getting fined. They defiintely need to stand by what they say the will do and follow through"

FAQs for gravel driveway repair projects in Middleton, WI
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.
