Meet Driveway Dave
David “Driveway Dave” McAvinew, owner and operator. Locally owned right here in Akron, Ohio.
An engineer’s answer to a homeowner’s problem
Dave noticed something every gravel-driveway owner eventually learns: you keep buying stone, and a few years later the drive looks bare again. The gravel wasn’t disappearing. It was being pushed down into the soil, load after load.
So he spent years developing a better way. Dave engineered and built his own machines and a system that lifts and rejuvenates the stone that’s been pushed below the surface. For a mid-century or older home, that can mean decades of gravel brought back into use.
The result is a restored driveway at a far more efficient, cost-effective price than another truckload of stone.
Today Dave still does the work himself. When you text for an estimate, it’s Dave who answers—and Dave who shows up on restoration day.
