Road and Paving Questions
Road Construction FAQs
Get answers about our road building process, materials, and what makes a durable driveway.
What is the difference between gravel and asphalt driveways?
Gravel driveways cost less upfront and drain water naturally, but need periodic refreshing. Asphalt provides a smooth, low maintenance surface with a longer lifespan.
How long before I can drive on new asphalt?
Most new asphalt is ready for vehicle traffic within 24 to 72 hours. Full curing takes several weeks during which heavy loads should be avoided.
Can you build a private road through wooded property?
Absolutely. We handle land clearing, grading, drainage, and surfacing to create a complete private road from raw woodland to finished travel surface.
How thick should an asphalt driveway be?
Residential asphalt driveways typically use a 2 to 3 inch surface layer over a properly compacted aggregate base. Commercial lots require thicker pavement for heavy traffic.
Do gravel roads require maintenance?
Yes. Gravel roads benefit from occasional regrading and fresh aggregate to fill ruts and maintain proper crown. We offer maintenance services on request.
What base preparation does a long driveway need?
Long driveways need proper subgrade compaction, a stable aggregate base, and drainage features like culverts. We engineer the base to support intended traffic loads.
