Gravel Driveway Installation & Prep in Northeast & Central Wisconsin

Built Right from the Ground Up — Durable, Affordable Driveway Solutions

When it comes to building a solid, long-lasting driveway, it all starts with the foundation. At Thomas Excavation, we specialize in driveway preparation and gravel driveway installation for homeowners, farms, and rural properties throughout Aniwa and Central/Northeast Wisconsin.


We don’t do paving or concrete — we focus on well-prepared, properly graded gravel driveways that can handle tough Wisconsin weather and rural traffic with ease. Whether you need a new driveway installed or an old one rebuilt, we’ve got the equipment and experience to do it right.

What We Do

Driveway Excavation & Base Prep

A proper driveway starts with clearing and cutting the area to shape. We excavate to the right depth, remove roots or soft spots, and build a stable base using compacted layers of gravel or breaker rock — ensuring long-term durability.


Gravel Driveway Installation

We install new gravel driveways of all shapes and sizes — from short residential entries to long rural lanes and agricultural access roads. We finish with a clean, graded top layer and proper crowning for drainage.


Driveway Resurfacing & Regrading

Already have a gravel driveway that’s rutted, muddy, or draining poorly? We can regrade, add material, and restore proper slope and compaction — giving new life to your existing drive.


Culvert Installation & Drainage

If your driveway crosses ditches or runoff areas, we install culverts and ditch shaping to manage water flow and protect against washouts.
