The existing gravel driveway was regraded to remove ruts and low spots, then topped with fresh gravel and shaped to drain into the ditch.
The old steel culvert under this driveway had rusted out and the entrance was sinking every spring. We dug it out, bedded a new culvert at the right grade, backfilled with crushed stone and rebuilt the entrance so the ditch flows and the driveway holds up to traffic.
Vars is a rural village in Ottawa's east end, just north of Russell Township and close to Highway 417. Most homes sit on acreage with long gravel driveways and ditches along the road — exactly the kind of work we do every week.
From our yard in Russell it's about 15 minutes to Vars. We resurface and regrade driveways, replace entrance culverts, level yards and build new laneways for homes and hobby farms around the village.
We're an owner-operated crew that takes pride in the finish: we walk every site before we price it, show up when we say we will, and leave it graded out clean. That's how we've built our reputation across Eastern Ontario, one job at a time.
The Vars area has a mix of clay-heavy soils and flat terrain that can cause surface pooling and slow drainage. We install French drains, regrade lots, and build swales to redirect water away from buildings and driveways.
