Question 1

What's the difference between Wilder Refresh and Riverbend Resurface?

Accepted Answer

A Riverbend Resurface is a remodel for driveways with system-wide damage. The Wilder Refresh is lighter maintenance for a driveway that's already in solid shape. Think of resurface as rebuilding the engine and refresh as the regular oil change that keeps it running. Not sure which one you need?

Question 2

How often should I have my driveway be Refreshed?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your traffic, weather exposure, and drainage — most driveways benefit from a Refresh every one to three years. Like a vehicle, the more it's used and the harder the conditions, the more often it needs attention and the longer you wait, the more attention it's going to need. After your service, we'll give you an honest recommendation on timing based on your specific driveway.

Question 3

Do you add new gravel during a Refresh service?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes. A Refresh works primarily with the material you already have, but if a few spots are thin or low, we'll add fresh gravel at our discretion to bring the surface back to where it should be. If your driveway is significantly depleted, we'll honestly let you know — that's usually a sign it needs the Resurface instead.

Question 4

Is a Refresh cheaper than a Resurface?

Accepted Answer

Yes — significantly. Because we're Refreshing a driveway that still has a solid foundation takes less time and material. Staying ahead of wear with a regular Refresh service is one of the smartest ways to protect your investment and avoid the larger cost of a full Rebuild down the road.

Question 5

Can I drive on my driveway right after a Refresh?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We compact the surface as part of the service, so it's firm and ready for normal use as soon as we're finished — no waiting or downtime.
