"Thanks to Michigan weather the project got delayed several times due to flooding. Once the flooding had resolved, they knocked out the project in 4 days! This was removing old grass/weeds, laying new dirt topsoil, grading, laying the sod and cleanup! Insane, can’t wait to show off the new yard!"

Most gravel road projects take an average of one to three weeks from start to finish, while asphalt or concrete installations require three to six weeks. The timeline largely depends on your property's specific conditions, including terrain challenges and necessary site preparation. Weather conditions can significantly impact schedules, with rain delays being common during excavation and foundation work. Complex projects requiring extensive drainage systems may take considerably longer.
For inclined terrain, concrete provides excellent traction and erosion resistance, though costs can range from $4 to $15 per square foot. Asphalt represents a mid-range option ($7 to $13 per square foot) that performs well when properly designed with adequate drainage channels.
For budget-conscious property owners, stabilized gravel ($2 to $12 per square foot) with appropriate erosion control measures can work effectively on moderate slopes. Regardless of material, proper water management remains the most critical factor for road longevity on sloped terrain.
While not universally required by local regulations, consulting a civil engineer provides significant benefits for road projects, especially those with challenging terrain or drainage concerns. Engineers develop specifications that prevent costly failures and ensure compliance with local requirements.
Many jurisdictions mandate engineered plans for roads connecting to public infrastructure or crossing environmentally sensitive areas. The upfront engineering investment prevents expensive repairs and reconstruction later.
Calculate your road's square footage by multiplying length by width, then determine volume based on your desired depth (four to six inches for standard traffic). For example, a 100-foot-long, 12-foot-wide road with a 6-inch depth requires approximately 22 cubic yards of material. When budgeting, consider the $1.25 to $3 per square foot cost range for gravel roads, which includes both materials and installation.
