Reconstructing county roads, as you will see in the photos below requires first tearing up the road and then reshaping the road before the placement of any new base course, on the road surface. After tearing up the road and reshaping it the road must be compacted, using a vibratory compactor, Then you apply the new base course, to the road and reshape and grade the road and then compact it again. This will help it stabilize until it gets hard. The best material for new road, construction, or for rebuilding a road, or driveway, is limestone base course,. Limestone is what concrete is made from and reacts almost like concrete when it sets up. Like everything in our world new roads, or old roads, and even drive ways, need to maintained with periodic grading to ensure the road lasts for longer periods of time.
