Your driveway is the introduction to your house. It’s something you use and look at every day. For these reasons, it’s important to make sure you have a high-quality driveway, which is functional, fits the style of your landscaping, and will last for a long time. As you get your driveway excavated and a new one installed, here are some of the important things which will ensure your driveway has the quality to last a long time.
The first key is the excavation work. First, the old driveway must be taken out. After that, the professionals at RG Interprises will examine the base of the driveway closely to determine if it is in good shape or not. It’s possible it may have broken down and need material added to it to create a strong base for your new driveway. With new driveways, it’s important to make sure that any large rocks are removed and a strong base layer is put in place.
Of course, since the excavation work has been busy removing any troublesome objects beneath the driveway. This creates voids that must be filled. A 4-to-8-inch base is necessary for a quality driveway. This will make up for any material that is removed, and help prevent possible deterioration. It is recommended that a thickness of 8 inches is used over clay-type soils because they have trouble draining. A thickness of 4 inches is often used over sandy (easier draining) soils. Be sure that your contractor is aware of your solid type and is serious about installing a good base. Occasionally, a less than thorough contractor will lessen the quality of the base in order to drive his bid lower.
One of the keys is the right contractor for the job. Installing a driveway is an expensive job. It’s not something you want to have to do multiple times.

Before any road construction can begin, the site starts as a parcel of land. This land is also known as the project site. The site can either be an unpaved roadway or an undeveloped space filled with trees and other natural elements.
Once the site is clear of any growth, excavation can begin. Excavation includes moving the earth or sloping the land with heavy equipment.
Once a site is clear and obstacles excavated, contracts will grade the site to prepare for installing a new surface. Land grading is the process of leveling the site or land for construction. It is a separate process from site excavation because rather than moving the earth, you are shaping it to level it out.
