Timing Is Important

Our experience and expertise allow us to plan for the best possible time and weather conditions to start a road and driveway construction project.

To ensure a job well done, we take moisture level and outside temperature into account when planning for the ideal installation date.

We also make sure to do precise sub-grade preparation before starting the road or driveway installation. 

The sub-grade serves as the primary support for the new driveway. That’s why it’s crucial to maintain a smooth, firm, and leveled surface.

Our expert team will contour the sub-grade in your property to make sure it matches the layout of the driveway construction. We carefully plan for sub-grade installation by considering ideal weather conditions.

Water Flow

When you want to maintain your dirt road properly, remember that water (or any of its form – ice, snow, sleet) is not your friend. Our experts know the techniques to properly slope the road and allow for proper water drainage and prevent it from flowing back onto the dirt road.

Gravel Road Construction

A Great and Functional Gravel Road Starts with Proper Construction

Don’t settle for a hastily constructed or poorly maintained gravel road. With our expert and professional services, you can have a beautiful and functional gravel road for your property.

Full Understanding of Your Vision

Before we begin any gravel road installation, we’ll make sure to understand your needs for it. 

Farming vehicles with massive horsepower and size, for instance, are not suitable on gravel roadways if the surface is not strong enough.

We’ll carefully analyze your needs and the frequency of traffic the road will get so that we can plan your gravel road installation appropriately.

Creating a Strong Foundation

A strong and well-built foundation is crucial to any construction project – whether it’s residential, commercial, roads, or driveway construction.

At Shilling Excavation, our expert contractors will ensure that you have a strong and leveled sub-grade to build your road or driveway on.

If your property has unavoidable weaker or wet soil, we’ll do the appropriate excavation process to replace it. 

If the roadway is too wide, we’ll bring in the right materials to raise it. 

Whatever challenges or issues your gravel road construction project may present, our expertise and experience allow us to come up with solutions that work.

Choosing the Right Materials

We have the highest quality gravel to use for your project. Whether it’s for base material or surface use, you’re getting the top-grade materials when you partner with us.

Building It Right

This may seem like a simple and straightforward step. However, only experienced gravel road contractors know how to start the project and finish it right.

With our tried-and-tested techniques and know-how, we’ll provide you with a functional and cost-effective and easily maintained gravel road – and not a weak type that needs frequent and costly repairs.

Efficient Drainage Is a Must

The success of a gravel driveway installation depends on efficient drainage. Standing or excess water on the surface or adjacent to the road can negatively impact the installation.

Roads and driveways that can properly channel water out of the surface allow for easier and less costly maintenance. Our gravel driveway contractors have all the means necessary to ensure proper drainage.

Top-quality gravel selections. Tried and true construction techniques. Valuable experience. All our gravel road and driveway installation projects prevent water damage.

Roadway Maintenance

Whether you need soil stabilization or land grading services, our highway maintenance services ensure that your road or driveway is functioning at its peak.

Correct highway maintenance techniques and the use of cutting-edge equipment lead to an efficient road and driveway. That’s why your maintenance needs are best left to the professionals at Shilling Excavation.
