Built for Washington Weather and Traffic
Washington’s clay soil, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy spring rains destroy driveways that aren’t built with proper foundation and drainage. Our construction method creates driveways that last in Tazewell County conditions.

Proper foundation layers that prevent settling and create a stable driving surface for Washington properties.
Mechanical Compaction
Heavy equipment compaction ensures each layer stays solid under vehicle traffic on Washington driveways.
Crown and Slope Design
Proper grading that sheds water quickly and prevents washout damage common in Tazewell County.
Quality Aggregate Selection
The right gravel types for Washington conditions and your specific traffic needs.

Why Poorly Done Driveways Fail in Washington
Poor driveway construction shows up every spring in Washington when you’re back outside filling ruts and potholes. What seemed like a good deal becomes an annual expense that never really fixes the problem.
- Rutting and potholes from inadequate base preparation and poor compaction
- Washout during storms from improper grading that channels water down the drive
- Loose gravel migration when surface material isn’t properly contained
- Constant maintenance requiring new gravel and repairs every Washington spring
