Gravel & Spreading

A patchy path or muddy bed,

— spread, raked & level.

Bare ruts, washed-out gravel, a muddy spot that needs a clean surface? A vetted local pro — often a neighbor — hauls the gravel or stone and rakes it level, for an offer you set. You pick them by name, rating, and reviews.

Why gravel work is better here

Three things a hardscaping crew won’t do

Gopher isn’t a hardscaping company with a minimum job fee. It’s a local marketplace built on three simple rules.

🤝

Hassle free & haggle free

Make an offer up front or ask for instant bids. Either way you’ll experience the easiest way to find great workers ever — a small path or a whole driveway.

💵

Paid directly

Your pro is paid directly and keeps 100% of your offer — 0% commission. The gravel and stone are bought at cost, the real price by the bag or yard, never padded.

🪨

Booked to done

A pro you pick by name and rating handles it start to finish — hauled in, spread, and raked level so it sits even and drains right. Tamped down, rain or shine.

What changes for you

Gravel work with Gopher vs. a hardscaping crew

Same bare ground, very different deal. Here’s what shifts when a neighbor handles it instead of a crew with a minimum charge.

What changes
Hardscapers & DIY
The Gopher Way
💵What you pay
×A hardscaping crew’s minimum job fee and a padded quote — whether it’s a small path or a whole drive.
You name the offer and your pro keeps 100% of it. One bed border or the full driveway.
🧑‍🔧Who does the work
×A rotating crew you never met — or you hauling bags and raking it level yourself all weekend.
A vetted local pro you pick by name, rating & reviews brings the muscle. You just pick the stone.
🪨What gets done
×A flat package whether you need a top-up or a fresh base spread.
Exactly what you ask for: paths, beds, borders or drive — as much or as little as you like.
The result
×An uneven dump that mounds in spots and leaves ruts to wash out again.
Hauled in and raked level — sitting even, draining right, no piles or bare patches.
💲Gravel & stone
×Gravel and stone marked up by the bag and folded into a bill you can’t itemize.
Gravel and stone at cost — the real price by the bag or yard, never padded on top.
🔁One job or standing
×A standing contract just to keep the gravel topped where it washes thin.
One spread now, or a top-up when you need it — rebook the same pro to refresh where it thins.
No surprises

What you actually pay

Everything’s on the table before you confirm. The gravel or stone you pick stays at cost:
