Driveway restores & small jobs for homeowners, farms & builders
Tired gravel driveways, stumps and half-day odd jobs. When you call, you talk to the person who runs the machine, and he’ll explain the plan before the work starts.
Driveway Restore
Grass strip torn out, buried stone brought back to the top, ruts leveled and the crown put back so water runs off. Kubota track loader with a power rake.
Restore + Pothole Fix
Everything in the Driveway Restore, plus potholes cut out and relaid and high shoulders pulled back in.
Spreading Your Stone
Short on gravel? You buy stone straight from the quarry and pay them directly. We spread it during your Restore. Home Free doesn’t supply stone.
Half-Day Machine Work
Small jobs done in a half day with the track loader and operator: a low spot, a fence line, a rough patch. Written not-to-exceed price before we start.
Stump Pulling
The 8-ton excavator pulls a few small to medium stumps out whole, not just ground down, and piles them for you.
Machine & Operator for Builders
Machine and operator time for builders and contractors: the track loader or the 8-ton excavator, with Richard running it. Billed to the contractor.

Two Kubota machines, run by the owner. Fuel is included in every price.

Good to know
How do I get a price?
Call or text (804) 656-5333 with a few photos and your road name. Driveway Restores are priced by length, and you get a written all-in price before we start.
Is there a minimum?
Small machine jobs are booked by the half day, from $625 with travel included within 15 miles of Amelia Court House.
Will the machines tear up my yard?
The SVL97-2 runs on rubber tracks at about 4.4 psi ground pressure, far less than a wheeled machine. We plan access routes to minimize disturbance.
Do I need to buy new stone?
Often not. Your gravel is usually still there, just buried. If you do need more, you buy it direct from the quarry and we spread it for $250 per tandem load. Home Free doesn’t supply stone.
Do you work for builders and contractors?
Yes. Machine and operator time is available to builders and contractors, billed to the contractor. Call for contractor rates.
What about Miss Utility?
No digging starts until a VA811 (Miss Utility) ticket is in place. We’ll walk you through it when we schedule.
Ready to get your driveway back?
Tell us about the project and send a few photos. You’ll hear back within one business day.
