Asphalt driveway installation

New driveways and full replacements, built base-first so they don't heave and crack the first winter. One crew does the excavation, the base, and the paving.

Why base depth decides everything in Alaska

Most failed driveways up here didn't fail at the surface — they failed underneath. Frost gets into a thin or poorly drained base, the ground moves, and the asphalt cracks and dips. A driveway built on the right depth of compacted structural fill, graded to drain, rides out the freeze-thaw.

Because RGC self-performs the excavation and the base work, we're not paving over whatever a subcontractor left us. We build the whole section.

Our driveway process

  1. Excavate to depth — remove sod, topsoil, and unsuitable material.
  2. Sub-grade prep — shape and compact, add geotextile fabric where soils are soft.
  3. Structural base — crushed aggregate placed and compacted in lifts to Alaska-appropriate depth.
  4. Grade to drain — positive slope away from the garage and house, crown or cross-slope set.
  5. Pave — hot-mix asphalt laid and rolled to a uniform, sealed surface.
  6. Edges & cleanup — shoulders backfilled, site cleaned, driveway ready to cure.

What we install

Asphalt or gravel?

Long rural driveway, tight budget, or a lane you re-grade every few years — a properly built gravel driveway is often the smarter spend. We do both and will tell you straight which one fits your site.
