Here at AJ Hetrick Enterprises, we do a wide variety of jobs for many different customers. We've been in business since 1998 and are an owner-operated business. Some of the things we specialize in (but not limited to) are construction (including pole barns), excavation, demolition, concrete, asphalt, driveways(can be what you decide, whether it be stone, concrete or asphalt), hauling off excess materials(dirt, stone, asphalt, concrete, A.K.A anything left laying around or is a displeasure to the eye), trucking (we have hauled loads for some well-known companies before, such as Monsanto during harvest or the local dairies with wet and dry feed. We also haul water from a local spring to Ice River Springs where it is bottled and shipped to stores nationwide). Have you ever had to chose which company you wanted to do your driveway, but didn't understand what they were saying due to use of industry-specific terms? When you choose us, we simplify it so you can understand what we're talking about. Let's say that this guy (Man A) says he can do your driveway for cheaper than we(Man B) can. A majority of the time, people like Man A get cheaper materials which decrease the life expectancy of the driveway. We give you the choice whether to choose a less durable product or a very durable and trusted product. If you're planning on moving soon (sometime within the next year) and need to make things look nice, my personal advice is go for the more expensive option. It will have a longer life and will hold up to the elements better, plus, if you mention that the driveway was recently redone, it can drive the price of the house upward, therefore gaining more profit for you! Back to the subject- If you ever find yourself in need of any services provided, please contact us! If you're interested in having a pole barn built but would like more information, please visit our website, http://ajhetrickenterprises.simplesite.com/ . If you have any questions, give us a call! - Abby Hetrick :)

we currently have 7 employees, blacktop driveways, parking lots, and streets. concrete drives and sidewalks
"Matt Hesler filled cracks and sealed my my driveway in the fall of 2018. In December, I noted that the seal appeared to be gone. By June, it was apparent that while the cracks remained filled, the seal coating had washed away. I contacted Matt and sent him a picture of the drive. June was a rotten month because of all of the rain. Once we had a dry spell, Matt returned, at;ologized foir my problems and resealed the driveway. We surmise that the earlier seal had not fixed either because of temperature or rain. Without argument or excused, he fixed the problem. Talking with other customers, I learned that my problem was unique - they all were very satisfied. I think that you really learn about a contractor by how they deal with failure. Matt did the right thing."

Calculating gravel requirements starts with measuring your driveway's length and width in feet. For a standard driveway, aim for approximately four inches of depth. Multiply these three dimensions to find cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. For example, a 24-foot by 12-foot driveway at four inches deep requires 3.5 cubic yards of gravel. Your specific needs may vary based on soil conditions and expected traffic.
Crusher run (also called crush and run) offers the most economical option, with prices ranging from $0.40 to $2 per square foot or $20 to $25 per cubic yard. This mixture of stone dust and crushed stone compacts well, making it ideal for functional applications like driveway bases.
Local quarry gravel also tends to be affordable due to minimal transportation costs. The trade-off comes in appearance—these budget options lack the decorative appeal of pricier alternatives.
A full truckload of pea gravel costs between $250 and $500, with pricing variations based on truck capacity, material type, and your location. Standard delivery trucks carry 10 to 15 cubic yards of material.
Ordering by the truckload often provides better value for larger projects compared to multiple smaller deliveries. Many suppliers include reasonable-distance delivery in these prices, making it an economical option for substantial projects.
Well-installed gravel surfaces can maintain their functionality for many years with proper maintenance. Traffic intensity, weather conditions, and installation quality all affect longevity. Regular maintenance—including raking displaced stones back into position and addressing drainage issues—extends useful life significantly.
Many homeowners find they need to add a refresher layer every few years, particularly in high-traffic areas or regions with severe weather conditions.
Adding gravel over an existing surface is possible with proper preparation. Start by thoroughly cleaning the current surface and addressing any significant damage or drainage issues. A stable foundation prevents shifting in your new layer. Consider adding a thin base layer before applying the decorative surface gravel.
Remember that adding material increases the overall height, which may affect garage entrances or property access points. When done correctly, this approach can refresh your driveway's appearance without complete reconstruction.
Gravel offers significantly lower initial costs at approximately $1 to $3 per square foot installed for standard types, compared to the substantially higher upfront investment for asphalt or concrete. However, gravel requires more frequent maintenance and occasional material replenishment.
Paved surfaces demand less regular attention but face expensive repairs when cracks or damage occur. Your decision should consider not just initial expense but also maintenance capabilities, climate conditions, and aesthetic preferences for your property.
