"Tracer determined a dry creek bed would correct the wet area in our back yard. They completed the work, adding a rock pile in front of the dry creek bed, which was not agreed upon. This solution did not fix the problem. Our back yard is still wet, grass does not grow and it is very unsightly. When we contacted Tracer landscaping they were resistive to listen and correct the problem stating it was not their issue. The representative has abandoned our project, has not returned phone calls and we are seeking a different landscaping company for help to correct. Our back yard is a mess! The french drain was not installed correctly and we struggled to get sod to grow. Again Tracer landscaping stated it was not their problem. I would not recommend this landscaping company for any project."

"We hired Jake Servais and his company on 11/26/18 to do snow removal for the season for $500. The first time the weather required snow removal they never showed up, and then called to say they were having mechanical issues and would it be ok if they didn't come (only about 2" of snow so I said ok). They did come 1x and remove some snow in late December. Then, on Monday (1/28), we got significant snowfall while we were out of town. I was assured via text from Jake they would be on it, as we had grandparents watching our kids. We had NO SERVICE. And then I went searching to see if we had been victim of fraud by this company. I found Jake Servais facebook page where he lists in early January the sale of all his snow equipment. I have no idea what is going on, but have made multiple attempts by email, phone and facebook messenger to connect and have got NO RESPONSE. I am looking into calling the police and want a refund of our $500."

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.
