What This Involves

Most private roads in West Virginia fail for the same reason: they were built as a path rather than as a structure. Gravel dumped on native soil with no base, no crown, and no ditch will rut in the first wet season, pothole in the second, and need replacing outright by the third. The material cost of doing it correctly is not dramatically higher. The difference is almost entirely in the earthwork underneath and the water management around it.

We build roads that shed water. That means a compacted subgrade, a graded aggregate base sized for the loads the road will actually carry, a crown that moves water to the shoulder, and ditches and culverts that carry it away instead of letting it run down the travel surface. On mountain grades it also means switchbacks and cuts that a loaded truck can actually negotiate in winter — which is a design decision, not something you can fix with more gravel later.

How We Work

  1. 1

    Lay out the route

    Grade, drainage crossings, and turn radii planned around the terrain and the heaviest vehicle that will use the road.

  2. 2

    Clear and grub the corridor

    Organic material stripped out entirely — leaving topsoil or roots under a road guarantees soft spots.

  3. 3

    Build and compact subgrade

    Native material cut to grade and compacted, with geotextile fabric over soft or wet sections to stop the base migrating into the subsoil.

  4. 4

    Install culverts and ditching

    Cross drains and roadside ditches sized to the drainage area, placed before the surface goes down.

  5. 5

    Place and compact base

    Graded aggregate placed in lifts and compacted, then a surface course. Crowned so water runs off rather than along.

  6. 6

    Maintain

    Periodic grading, ditch cleaning, and gravel top-up under contract — an order of magnitude cheaper than rebuilding.

Questions

Road Installation & Maintenance FAQ

Straight answers to what people actually ask. If yours isn't here, call and ask.

Ask Us Directly

Straightforward ground with good drainage typically runs $25–$60 per linear foot for a single-lane road built properly. Steep grades, rock excavation, multiple culvert crossings, or extensive fill can push it well past $100 per foot. The earthwork and drainage, not the gravel, drive the number.
