Road Construction That Holds Up

Cannonvale’s hilly blocks, narrow sites and seasonal weather mean roadworks need to be planned carefully. With the right materials, methods and drainage in place, access roads and internal driveways can hold up through wet seasons and everyday use.

Custom private road builds: Constructed to suit vehicle type, traffic frequency and property access layouts.
Base prep for sealing: We build a strong foundation for bitumen or asphalt finishes using stabilised material and thorough compaction.
Drainage installation: Includes culverts, spoon drains and verge grading to prevent water damage and extend road life.
Gravel surface maintenance: Regular regrading and re-sheeting keeps driveways and access tracks safe, level and functional.

Our team helps you plan roads that stay usable for the long term – not just until the next storm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between road grading and re-sheeting?

Grading reshapes the road surface using a blade or grader to smooth ruts and restore proper water runoff angles. Re-sheeting involves adding fresh gravel before grading, to replace worn or lost material. While grading alone may be enough for minor surface issues, re-sheeting is necessary when the surface layer is too thin or loose. Both methods work best when done regularly as part of a maintenance schedule.
How much space is needed to build a new driveway or road?

Space requirements vary based on road width, vehicle type, and the slope or curvature of the land. A standard single-lane access road is typically 3–4 metres wide, with additional clearance needed for drainage or batters. Sloped blocks may require wider cuts, retaining walls or staged construction. Contractors assess available space and site conditions before proposing a design that balances safety, access and regulations.
How are soft or sandy soils handled during roadworks?

Soft or sandy soils may not provide enough strength to support vehicles long-term. In these cases, contractors use soil stabilisation techniques such as blending in road base, lime or cement to strengthen the subgrade. Geotextile layers may also be used to separate and reinforce the road foundation. Choosing the right compaction method and material mix is critical to prevent future sinking or surface failure.
Is it possible to improve drainage on an existing road?

Yes. Drainage on existing roads can be improved by re-grading the surface to correct water flow, adding or replacing culverts, and clearing blocked drains or shoulders. In some cases, reshaping the verge or adding spoon drains can redirect water away from problem areas. Regular maintenance and inspection help catch drainage issues early before they cause erosion, rutting or road surface breakdown.
