Gravel Road Building Consists Of a Few Steps

Grubbing involves removing vegetation such as tree stumps, bushes, grasses, and other types of obstructions like rocks that can hamper the path of where the gravel road is supposed to lead to and lead from. From this point on, we will make concrete plans to define the pathway. This is the very foundation of the gravel road.
Levelling and spreading the subgrade soil is of great importance to ensure smoothness overall and take care of kinks in the road. This is essential for the primary layer of the gravel road that will be installed later.
As we are specialized in gravel road and driveway building, you can rest assured that we take care of the logistics and the supply of our own aggregates which in most cases will be limestone gravel.
After the primary layer of gravel is applied, it will be crowned. This entails that the road has a small peak and slope down the shoulders to the sides. This is crucial for efficient water migration to the soil. Not doing so will result in potholes and cracks because of still water.
The final step will be applying a final topcoat that consists of finer granular gravel. In some situations, moisture will be required to let the gravel settle properly.
Finally, the road will be compacted with a specialized compacter machine.

Culvert installation

Culvert installation is essential to a gravel road because it guarantees the durability of the road. A culvert is needed to redirect excess water. These culverts are in essence tubes made from metal that pass through the gravel road. No worries, your car can speed through with no concern as there isn’t any bump. Culverts prevent these gravel roads and driveways from eroding and flooding during inclement weather. We make use of galvanized materials that can bear the weight of every passing vehicle with ease. Our crew of professionals is fully equipped and qualified to install culverts at affordable prices in no time.
