Whether you need a gravel driveway cut through a wooded lot or a fully paved surface installed from the road to your home, MBP Land Clearing handles driveway installation for residential and light commercial clients across the Huntsville, AL area, Taft, TN, and surrounding communities.
We install gravel driveways and prepare the ground for asphalt and concrete surfaces. For asphalt and concrete finishing, we work with trusted contractors in the area who specialize in those materials. That means if you want a fully paved driveway, you can coordinate with us as a single point of contact instead of managing multiple separate contractors.
The most common driveway installation we do for residential clients is gravel — cutting the path, grading the surface for drainage, and laying the gravel base. It’s practical, durable, and often the right fit for rural and semi-rural properties throughout this area.
A driveway that drains poorly, settles unevenly, or washes out after the first heavy rain usually comes down to ground preparation. Before any gravel or paving material goes down, the path needs to be properly cut, graded, and compacted. We take that part seriously because it determines how the driveway holds up over time.
We look at the slope of the land, where water naturally flows, and what the soil conditions are before we start. Getting those things right in the prep stage saves you from dealing with the same problems over and over.

Driveway installation can often be combined with other land clearing or excavation work to streamline the project.
Driveway work often goes hand in hand with land clearing, site prep, or new construction. Many clients have us clear and grade the land first, then bring in the driveway as the next phase. If your project involves multiple steps, let’s talk through what makes sense to handle together.

Gravel is the most common choice for rural and semi-rural properties, and for good reason. It handles heavy rainfall without washing away if installed and graded correctly, it’s cost-effective, and it works well on longer runs where paving would become expensive. For properties with heavy daily traffic or specific access needs, asphalt or concrete might be worth considering. We’re happy to talk through the options for your situation.
Yes. We cut and grade the path, prepare the surface for proper drainage, and install the gravel. It’s a complete service, not just the finish material.
We handle the site preparation and ground work for asphalt and concrete driveways. For the actual paving or concrete poring, we work with contractors in the area. If you want a fully paved driveway, we can coordinate the full process so you’re not managing different crews on your own.
A straightforward gravel driveway on a property that’s already been cleared can typically be done in a day. Longer driveways, those requiring significant cutting through trees or brush, or sites with drainage challenges will take more time. We’ll give you an honest estimate of the timeline when we come out.
Washouts are usually a sign of inadequate drainage design or insufficient gravel depth. Proper grading from the start — making sure water drains away from the surface rather than running down the middle — is the main preventive measure. If you’ve had issues with a previous driveway, we can look at the root cause and address it in the new installation.
Yes. If an existing driveway needs additional gravel, regrading, or drainage work, that’s something we can help with. Describe what you’re dealing with when you call and we’ll figure out the best approach.
