Who We Are & Why Hunlock Creek Homeowners Call Us
We are Alliance Excavating & Stone Works — a locally owned excavating and driveway contractor based in Sweet Valley, PA, just a short drive from Hunlock Creek along the back roads of Luzerne County. We are not a large regional paving chain. We are your neighbors.
We work in Hunlock Township regularly. We know the terrain along the Susquehanna River flats. We know what Shickshinny Mountain runoff does to driveways on the north-facing slopes. We know what Roaring Brook and Lewis Run do to properties after a heavy spring rain. And we know that the clay-heavy glacial till soil throughout this area does not drain well — which is why so many driveways here fail the same way, season after season.
When you call us, the same people who give you the estimate are the people who show up and do the work. That matters in a small township like Hunlock. Your neighbors are our customers. We treat every job like it.
Services We Offer in Hunlock Creek, PA 18621
Our Complete Driveway & Drainage Repair Solutions in Hunlock Creek
Ruts, potholes, soft spots, and gravel that keeps washing off the edges — these are the most common calls we get from Hunlock Creek homeowners. Adding stone does not fix it. The problem is almost always below the surface: a failed base, saturated soil, or a crown that has gone completely flat from years of traffic.
We excavate problem areas, fix the base, correct the slope, and restore the driveway properly. Not a patch job. A repair that holds through mud season, heavy rain, and the next Pennsylvania freeze-thaw cycle.
Properties throughout Hunlock Township sit on sloped terrain with deep tree lines, seasonal water movement, and soil that varies from river flat to mountain edge. A new driveway installation has to account for all of that before a single load of stone is dropped.
We use state-certified 2A modified stone for the base and select the correct top-layer stone for your terrain. Every installation includes proper excavation depth, crown shaping, and edge grading. Your driveway performs correctly from the first rain — not just until the first frost.
Over time, driveways lose their crown. The cross-slope goes flat. Water stops draining off the sides and starts sitting in the center. Soft spots spread. Mud gets tracked into the house along the Hunlock Creek Turnpike and Route 11 corridors where properties see daily vehicle traffic.
Regrading restores the correct slope and cross-crown using proper equipment. It is one of the most cost-effective fixes we offer. It makes an immediate and visible difference — and it stops the mud and standing water without a full rebuild.
Mud in Hunlock Township is almost never a gravel problem. It is a drainage and base problem. The clay-heavy glacial till soil throughout this area holds water instead of draining it. Once the base becomes saturated — from a flat crown, poor drainage, or both — the driveway turns to mud. Gravel buries it temporarily. The mud returns every spring.
Hunlock Creek sits in the Susquehanna River watershed and receives 35 to 45 inches of precipitation annually — one of the highest totals in Luzerne County. Properties along the river flats and on the north-facing slopes of Shickshinny Mountain deal with runoff from multiple directions. Without proper driveway drainage, all that water finds the easiest path — through your driveway base, across your garage floor, or toward your foundation.
Yards that stay wet for days after rain, low spots that flood near the Garden Drive-In road or along the Moon Lake Recreation Area side roads, and water moving toward your home foundation — these are signs your yard drainage needs professional attention.
French drain installation is one of our most-requested services throughout Hunlock Township. Properties here deal with high precipitation, subsurface water moving downhill from Shickshinny Mountain and surrounding ridges, and clay-heavy soil that prevents natural percolation.
Water in your garage after rain is one of the most common calls we get from homeowners along Route 11 and the Hunlock Creek Turnpike corridor. It damages flooring, stored belongings, and the garage structure. It also gets worse every season without intervention.
Why Hunlock Creek Driveways Are Different
Properties in Hunlock Township often have driveways running 200 to 500+ feet through wooded, sloped terrain. A longer driveway means more surface area, more slope variation, and more places for water to collect or the base to fail. We assess the full length — not just the problem spot.
The Hunlock Creek area features clay-heavy glacial till near the surface and sandstone-shale bedrock formations close below. Clay absorbs water poorly. Sandstone limits drainage installation depth in some areas. Both conditions directly affect what drainage system is needed and how it must be installed.
The Susquehanna River watershed around Hunlock Creek receives among the highest annual precipitation in Luzerne County. Every system we install is designed for this rainfall reality — not national average figures.
Repeated freeze-thaw cycles through a Luzerne County winter push the gravel base up and down. Without the correct depth and drainage, every spring brings new ruts, new soft spots, and new surface damage. We build for the full seasonal cycle so your driveway holds year-round.

Hunlock Township sits on clay-heavy glacial till soil that absorbs water poorly. When the gravel base becomes saturated — from a flat crown, failed drainage, or both — it turns to mud. Adding more gravel temporarily buries the problem. Real repair means excavating, fixing the drainage, and rebuilding the base with properly compacted stone.
Gravel washing away is usually caused by surface water flowing across the driveway with enough force to carry stone. This happens when there are no drainage channels to intercept runoff, the slope is too steep, or the driveway edges have no proper containment. We assess the specific cause and fix it correctly.
