Road Building
Roadway Mastery
Roadways are necessary, whether gravel access roads or paved laneways. Roadways are essential aspects of every property, big or small. Excavating material, placing and properly compacting aggregate and fine grading are processes we perform at the highest standards to ensure it’s done right from the start.
Planning and organization skills are vital to keeping your costs down and quality up. Looking ahead to plan for underground utilities, landscape, drainage, and other construction aspects is crucial when building roadways to avoid additional and unneeded costs.

FAQs

Yes, as a full-service excavation company, we manage both excavation and grading as part of the road-building process. Proper grading is essential for road stability and drainage, and our team ensures the ground is shaped and compacted correctly before surfacing. This prevents issues like water pooling, erosion, and premature wear, which can shorten the lifespan of a road.
Absolutely, our compact excavation equipment allows us to work in steep, rocky, or hard-to-reach areas, including Gulf Island properties and rural sites. We specialize in tackling challenging conditions where larger contractors may not have the right equipment. From clearing land to preparing a stable road base, we provide the expertise needed to create reliable access roads even in difficult environments.
Drainage is one of the most important factors in road construction. Without it, water can weaken the base and cause damage over time. We design and install appropriate drainage systems, including ditches, culverts, and grading, to ensure water flows away from the road surface. This not only extends the life of the road but also reduces maintenance costs for property owners.
The cost of road building depends on factors such as the length and width of the road, the type of surface material, terrain conditions, and drainage requirements. A gravel road for a residential property will differ in price from a fully engineered commercial roadway. We provide free consultations and detailed estimates so you’ll have a clear understanding of the cost before we begin construction.
