Road building & maintenance for private and county roads
We build new private roads and keep existing ones in shape with chip sealing, patching, crack sealing and overlays, for ranches, subdivisions, businesses and local governments.
Serving Waco, Central Texas, DFW and West Texas
How we do it
Roads fail from the edges and from water. Regular maintenance (sealing cracks, patching weak spots and re-chip-sealing on schedule) costs far less than rebuilding a road that has been left to fail.
For new roads, we build the base, crown and drainage first, then surface with chip seal or asphalt.
A maintenance plan that works
- Every year: inspect after the wet season, clear ditches and culverts, seal new cracks and patch weak spots.
- Every two to three years: sealcoat asphalt roads.
- Roughly every 7 to 10 years: reseal chip seal roads with a fresh layer, depending on traffic and drainage.
- As needed: rebuild edges and regrade shoulders where the road is breaking off.
Signs a road needs attention
Watch for water standing on the road after rain, edges crumbling into the ditch, loose stone across a chip seal surface, potholes, and ruts in the wheel paths. Each one is cheaper to fix the season it shows up than the year after.
Who we work for
We maintain private roads for ranch owners, road associations, HOAs, RV parks, churches and businesses with long access drives across Central and West Texas. For shared roads, we give itemized estimates that make it easy for neighbors or a board to split the cost.
See the private road maintenance guide.

FAQ
Road Maintenance questions
How often should a chip seal road be redone?
Commonly every 7 to 10 years, with crack sealing and patching in between.
Do you build new roads?
Yes, from base to finished surface.
Do you work for HOAs and municipalities?
Yes.
Who pays for a shared private road?
That depends on your deed, road agreement or HOA rules. We provide itemized estimates so owners can split the cost however their agreement says.
Why does my road keep washing out?
Almost always drainage: no crown, blocked ditches or a low crossing without a culvert. Fixing where the water goes is what stops it, not just adding more rock.
