Driveway Grading & Drainage
Proper drainage is the only way to stop potholes. We grade your driveway with the correct crown and slope to shed water instantly. We also dig ditches and install culverts to prevent washouts during the heavy rains in the Cowlitz Valley.
In Lewis County's climate, proper drainage is especially important. We create a crown or slope that directs water off the driveway surface, preventing erosion, potholes, and surface deterioration. Our grading work sets the stage for a driveway that will perform well year-round, even during heavy rain and snow melt.

Common questions about driveway and road construction in Lewis County
How much does a new driveway cost?
Driveway costs depend on length, width, material choice, and site conditions. A basic gravel driveway might cost a few thousand dollars, while an asphalt or concrete driveway will cost significantly more. The grading and base preparation work we do is typically a portion of the total project cost. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what the grading and material work will cost before we start.
What's the best material for a driveway?
The best material depends on your budget, how much traffic the driveway will see, and your preferences. Gravel is the most affordable and works well for rural properties. Asphalt is durable and smooth but costs more. Concrete lasts longest but is the most expensive option. We can help you decide based on your specific situation and budget. We handle the grading and base work for any material you choose.
How thick should driveway gravel be?
Most driveways need at least four to six inches of compacted gravel for a solid base. Heavier vehicles or softer soils might need more. The key is proper compaction so the gravel doesn't shift or sink over time. We'll assess your soil conditions and recommend the right thickness for your specific situation. A well prepared base makes all the difference in how long your driveway lasts.
Can you fix an existing driveway?
Yes. We specialize in driveway repair and resurfacing. We can grind out deep potholes, add fresh gravel, and compact it to look brand new.
How do you handle drainage?
We don't just push dirt; we manage water. We install culvert pipes, dig turnout ditches, and grade swales to keep your road dry.
Do you work on private roads too?
Absolutely. We handle private road construction, maintenance, and improvements throughout Lewis County. Whether you need a new access road built, an existing road graded and graveled, or road clearing work done, we can help. Private roads often need the same attention to drainage and base preparation as driveways, just on a larger scale.
Land Clearing Services
Before building a driveway or road, you often need land clearing first. We clear brush, remove trees, and prepare the site so your driveway or road has a clean foundation to work with.
Our land clearing services include brush removal, tree clearing, stump grinding, and site preparation. We'll clear the exact area you need for your driveway or road project, making the construction process smoother and more efficient.
