A private road has to handle water over its whole length, which is what separates it from a short suburban driveway. Every low point, every side slope and every crossing is somewhere water can take the road away.
We cut, build and rebuild private roads, long driveways and access tracks across metro Atlanta and north Georgia.
Do you need this?
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service:
- Acreage needs vehicle access cut in
- An existing long drive washes out every winter
- A building site needs an access road before construction
- A farm, timber or hunting tract needs usable tracks
How the job runs
- 1
Set the route
Route chosen to work with the contours rather than fight them. The cheapest road to build and maintain follows the land.
- 2
Cut and shape
Cut and fill to a workable gradient, with a crown or consistent cross-fall built into the full length.
- 3
Handle water throughout
Culverts at crossings, ditches alongside, water bars and turnouts on grades. Water has to leave the road frequently, not run along it.
- 4
Base and surface
Compacted base with crush run over it, rolled to a finished surface that binds and sheds.
What affects your price
Priced by length, width, how much cut and fill the terrain needs, culvert and ditch work, and material haul distance. Terrain is usually the biggest single variable.
We quote after seeing the site, and the price we give you is fixed and in writing. Estimates are free and there is no obligation.

North Georgia terrain and rainfall make drainage the deciding factor on a private road. Roads here fail from water long before they fail from traffic, so turnouts, water bars and correctly sized culverts are where the money should go.
