πŸ› οΈ Homeowner Tip Tuesday

Winter can be tough on driveways β€” especially gravel ones.

Between snow removal, plowing, and freeze-thaw cycles, it’s common for driveways to shift, rut, or lose their proper slope.

Now add the coming spring rain… and those small issues turn into washouts fast.

Things to watch for:

βœ”οΈ Ruts or low spots where water sits
βœ”οΈ Gravel pushed to the sides from plowing
βœ”οΈ Water running down the driveway instead of off to the side
βœ”οΈ Edges washing away after heavy rain

A driveway should be shaped so water runs off, not straight down it. Regrading helps restore the slope, improve drainage, and protect the base underneath.

Fixing it now can prevent bigger damage once spring storms really get going.
Reach out to KPR if your driveway needs regrading or drainage improvements.

πŸ› οΈ Homeowner Tip Tuesday

Water should always move away from your house β€” not toward it.

Poor drainage around your foundation can lead to standing water, basement moisture, and long-term structural issues.

Things to watch for:
βœ”οΈ Water pooling near the foundation after rain
βœ”οΈ Soil washing away around your home
βœ”οΈ Mulch or dirt constantly shifting
βœ”οΈ Basement walls feeling damp or musty

Your yard should slope slightly away from the house so water naturally drains outward. Small grading fixes now can prevent major repairs later.
