Power Raking
Power raking is one of the biggest differences between a true restoration process and simply spreading gravel over existing problems. A power rake helps:
- pull buried stone back to the surface
- loosen compacted fines
- break apart potholes
- remove surface inconsistencies
- reset the top layer
- prepare the driveway for reshaping
This allows the existing surface to be properly reworked instead of simply buried underneath fresh material.
In many situations, power raking can dramatically improve a driveway before any new gravel is even added.
