Gravel Services in Merrill, Wisconsin
Gravel Driveways, Roads, Building Pads & More
Gravel is one of the most reliable, cost-effective ways to improve access and usability on any property, but long-lasting results depend on the way it’s installed. A&C Excavating Equipment provides professional gravel services in Merrill, WI, building surfaces that stand up to seasons of freeze–thaw, spring runoff, and everyday traffic. From rural acreage off Highway 64 to in-town lots near the Wisconsin River, we deliver, spread, grade, and compact the right material for your project so you end up with a smooth, durable surface—not a rutted path that washes out after the first storm.
We approach each job with a simple goal: give you a functional surface that drains correctly and holds its shape. That means preparing the base, placing the material in proper lifts, compacting each pass, and finishing with the right crown or cross-slope. Whether you’re refreshing a tired driveway or creating a new access lane to a barn or shop, our crew brings the equipment and know-how to get it right the first time. You’ll get clear communication, honest recommendations, and a site that’s ready to use as soon as we’re done.
Full-Service Gravel Work
We serve a wide range of residential, agricultural, and commercial customers throughout Merrill. Our gravel services include:
Driveway installation or restoration — New builds with true base prep, or resurfacing with regrading and top-dressing to eliminate ruts, potholes, and washboards.
Private roads and farm lanes — Long runs built with appropriate depth and a dependable crown so water sheds instead of pooling.
Parking pads and turnarounds — Stable, level pads for trailers, equipment, RVs, or overflow parking near shops and outbuildings.
Shed, barn, and garage bases — Compacted structural gravel that supports slabs, post-frame buildings, and heavy loads.
Drainage support — Strategic use of stone in ditches, around culverts, and along low spots to move water where it belongs.
We work with crushed rock, traffic-bond, washed stone, and recycled materials when appropriate. If you’re unsure which aggregate fits your site and budget, we’ll walk you through the options and explain how each behaves under Merrill’s typical conditions.

Built to Last: Our Process for Merrill Conditions
Installing gravel is more than dropping a load from a truck. The soils around Merrill—especially near river corridors and low-lying areas—can shift under saturation and frost. Our process addresses those realities so your surface keeps its shape through spring thaw and summer storms.
We start by evaluating subgrade strength and existing drainage patterns. If needed, we cut down to firm soil, shape the subgrade for flow, and add geotextile in soft spots to prevent mixing and pumping. Material is placed in controlled lifts, compacted with the right equipment, and finished with a crown or cross-fall to move water off the driving surface. Entrances and transitions are blended so you don’t end up with abrupt edges that unravel. Where culverts are involved, we ensure appropriate cover, grade, and inlet/outlet protection.
This attention to detail reduces maintenance, minimizes rutting, and helps your investment last. It also means fewer callbacks and less gravel lost to ditches after heavy rain. If future upgrades are in the plan—like paving or a concrete approach—we’ll build today’s base to support tomorrow’s surface so you don’t pay twice.
Why Choose A&C for Gravel Work in Merrill?
Choosing the right contractor is the difference between a driveway that survives the next storm and one that needs constant touch-ups. Merrill property owners work with us because we focus on fundamentals and follow through.
Local expertise — Experience with Lincoln County soils, frost depth, and runoff means fewer surprises on site.
Complete service — Delivery, placement, grading, compaction, and cleanup handled start to finish by one crew.
Right equipment, right technique — From tight residential approaches to long farm lanes, we size machines to the job and compact every lift.
Transparent pricing — Clear scopes and materials so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Built for drainage — Surfaces crowned and tied into existing ditches and culverts to keep water moving off the drive.
If you only need a quick repair or top-dress, we’ll say so. If the base is failing and a deeper rebuild will save you money long-term, we’ll explain why and show you the options. Our goal is to leave you with a surface that works—not to sell you more rock than you need.
