    Not only are you preparing it for a family's use but for using heavy equipment or anything they can throw at it. It's nice when you have confidence in your contractor that you don't need to worry about what they are doing, that it's quality the whole way. And that's what you deliver: Quality. We all talk about how beautiful you leave a property looking, but if that beautiful work doesn't have a strong foundation to it, that 'beautiful' work will be gone. Your work has the foundation that withstands the test of time and that is an absolute joy to watch. Thanks, Chris.

    Chris, this road is going to go to their new home? That’s what I thought you had said and they’re going to have a new home built! Is the owner the farmer that planted the beans or is it a leased farm property and someone else is planting the crops? Just wondering, I know the new road is going to finish perfect because I know your quality work Chris! Looks great brother, everything and hopefully we’ll get a update in a few months about the pond! Thanks for sharing my friend and you’re the best (Letsdig18) , no doubt!

One question, I notice you do not use rip rap or head walls on the end of your culvert pipes. (Or maybe I miss it). Is this financial reasons or just not needed in your area?

      A sheeps foot and a smooth drum, on SITE. Sheeps foot for compacting the clay road base and the smooth drum to set the stone paving surface. A sheeps foot is no good for setting the stone it just keeps breaking it up, you need the smooth drum to get all the fines locking the stone into a hard as rock surface.
