Road and driveway installation in Wendell, NC, by
A1 Grading, follows a process that begins with thorough site preparation, followed by leveling and compacting the ground to form a stable base. Depending on client requirements, materials such as gravel, asphalt, or concrete are selected and laid down, with edges secured and necessary drainage systems installed. After the installation, the surface undergoes a curing period to gain strength, and any necessary sealants or coatings are applied for added protection.
Road excavation ensures a stable and level foundation, which is crucial for the longevity and durability of the road.
Proper excavation allows for the implementation of effective drainage systems, preventing water accumulation and protecting the road from erosion and damage.
By removing obstacles and uneven terrain, road excavation contributes to safer and smoother driving conditions for vehicles and pedestrians.
Properly executed road excavation can reduce the need for frequent repairs and maintenance, resulting in long-term cost savings.
Road excavation is a fundamental step in road construction, and its quality directly impacts the success and reliability of the entire project.

Gravel roads are primarily constructed using crushed stone, typically limestone or granite, mixed with sand and clay. This combination creates a durable and permeable surface, allowing for effective water drainage and reduced erosion.
A gravel road typically consists of three layers:
Gravel roads offer several benefits, including:
The thickness of gravel roads can vary depending on the intended use and local regulations, but generally, the combined thickness of the base and surface courses ranges from 8 to 12 inches. The subgrade layer's thickness depends on the soil type and load-bearing requirements.
The best base layer for a gravel road is typically composed of larger, crushed angular stones, such as limestone or granite. This material provides the necessary structural strength and stability, while also allowing for adequate water drainage. The choice of base layer material may also depend on local availability and site-specific conditions.
