Built for Breckenridge Hills's ground
Loess upland runs under this part of the county, and the county soil survey says local roads and streets on many of these soils need adequate base material plus ditches and culverts to prevent damage from low strength and frost action. Dense development concentrates runoff. We grade for it, then compact rock in layers.
A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.
Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat

Typical ranges. Your Breckenridge Hills estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.
