Access and clearing
Open the route, remove obstructing vegetation and establish enough working room for the equipment and trades that follow.
Rough grading
Shape the ground for practical access, building preparation and drainage before finish materials or final grading are considered.
Site coordination
Driveway, building area, drainage and septic can interact. Looking at the overall property can prevent one part of the project from creating problems for another.
Questions
Do you install finished gravel driveways?
Driveway scope can range from clearing and rough access to grading and aggregate work depending on project requirements. The estimate should define the intended finished condition.
Can you improve an existing rough driveway?
Depending on drainage, grade, base condition and access, existing driveways may be reshaped or repaired as part of sitework.
Should drainage be considered before the driveway is built?
Yes. Water movement, cross-drainage and surrounding grades should be considered before finalizing the drive.
