Why Choose Gravel Driveways in Des Peres, Missouri?

Des Peres, MO – a thriving suburb of St. Louis with a population of 8,874 residents (U.S. Census 2023 estimate) – sits along Manchester Road and I-270, blending quiet neighborhoods with easy access to West County Mall and major highways. Homeowners and businesses here face clay-heavy soils and seasonal drainage challenges, making gravel the smart choice over asphalt or concrete.

A properly installed pea gravel driveway or crushed stone driveway offers:

• Superior drainage to prevent pooling after heavy rains
• Cost savings – often 40-60% less than paved surfaces
• Eco-friendly permeability that reduces runoff into local creeks
• Quick installation – most projects completed in 1-3 days

House Excavating LLC uses premium Missouri-sourced aggregates graded for stability and longevity. Whether you need a commercial rock driveway for high-traffic parking or a residential gravel driveway with clean edges, we handle grading, compaction, and edging with precision.
