Gravel Driveway Repair Services in Central NH, the White Mountains & the Lakes Region

Serving the Heart of New Hampshire — A Regional Introduction

Located in the geographic and cultural crossroads of New Hampshire, Central NH, the White Mountains, and the Lakes Region together form one of the most unique and sought-after areas in the Northeast. From the scenic beauty of Squam Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee to the towering peaks of Franconia Notch and the Presidential Range, this region offers a compelling blend of rugged terrain and rural charm, home to both seasonal cottages and full-time residences.

Campton, Ashland, Plymouth, Meredith, Lincoln, and Littleton are just a few of the communities that form the core of this region. These towns are connected by a web of scenic byways and major arteries like Interstate 93, Route 3, and NH Route 25. This accessibility draws in outdoor adventurers, retirees, tradespeople, and small business owners alike.

Many of these areas, especially in the White Mountains, have growing populations but retain their small-town character. Whether it’s the steady hum of year-round commerce in Ashland or the seasonal influx of tourists in Meredith and North Woodstock, gravel driveways remain a staple for homes, rental properties, lodges, farms, and businesses alike.

These regions see tough seasonal transitions — snowy winters followed by muddy spring thaws, dry summers, and rainy autumns — all of which make gravel driveway maintenance essential. The freeze-thaw cycle, frequent rainfall, snowplow damage, and spring runoff can all contribute to rutting, potholes, washouts, and surface erosion.

Moreover, many homes and camps are situated on steep grades, wooded lots, and remote locations where traditional pavement is either unfeasible or undesirable. Gravel driveways provide cost-effective and rustic access, but they require the right attention and tools to remain functional and safe throughout the year.

Local infrastructure varies widely, with narrow access roads, private lanes, and long unpaved driveways dominating the rural landscape. Without proper grading, compaction, and drainage, these routes can quickly become impassable or damaging to vehicles. Residents, especially those managing short-term rentals or large family properties, often find themselves in urgent need of gravel delivery, reshaping, or full repair — services that NorthPoint Equipment Rentals proudly offers with precision and care.

Why Gravel Driveways Need Routine Repair in NH

Seasonal Wear and Erosion

The New England climate is especially tough on unpaved driveways. Snow removal leads to gradual gravel displacement, while spring melt causes runoff to channel through ruts. Over time, compacted wheel paths turn into deep troughs, and gravel disperses into surrounding soils.

Lack of Proper Drainage

Older gravel driveways often suffer from poorly maintained crown or slope, causing water to pool or flow incorrectly. Without timely regrading, this can cause erosion and compromise base layers.

Heavy Use from Trucks and Equipment

From contractors to landscapers, equipment trailers and delivery trucks put major pressure on driveways. This traffic leads to surface displacement and long-term compaction that reduces permeability.

Driveway Washouts

Especially on sloped or uncurbed driveways, heavy rains frequently cause gravel washouts that expose the subbase or create gullies.

Customer Review

"We hired NorthPoint to repair our 1,200-ft gravel driveway in Thornton after the spring thaw left it full of ruts and washouts.

Wouldn’t call anyone else." — Sarah T., Thornton, NH
