Building It Right From the Ground Up
New driveway construction done wrong just becomes next year’s repair call. We build every new gravel or dirt driveway around the same water-management principles we use to fix failing ones — proper subgrade, correct crown and slope, layered base material, and full compaction — so it holds up instead of failing early.
Site Prep & Subgrade Excavation
Clearing, grading, and excavating down to a stable subgrade — the foundation everything else depends on.
Culvert & Drainage Planning
We plan water flow before we place material, including county-required culverts where applicable, so your new driveway isn’t fighting drainage from day one.
Base & Surface Material Placement
Layered base material sized and placed for your site’s traffic and soil conditions — not a dump-and-spread job.
Grading, Crown & Compaction
Every new driveway is graded to shed water and finished with full vibratory roller compaction — the step most new-construction jobs skip.
County Permitting Assistance
Front Range is a licensed Boulder County General Contractor (Class B — commercial & residential). When an access or culvert permit is required, we pull it and manage the county approval process directly.
Long Driveway & Rural Access Builds
Rural properties with long approach drives are a specialty — we have the equipment and crew capacity to handle longer runs efficiently.
Gravel Parking Pads
Need parking for equipment, trailers, RVs, or extra vehicles? We build compacted gravel parking pads sized to your property, using the same subgrade prep and drainage planning as our driveways.
Driveway Extensions
Adding a turnaround, widening a tight approach, or extending an existing gravel driveway — we tie new sections into your existing surface with matching grade and compaction.
We Assess Before We Quote
Every new-build project starts with a free walk of the site — soil, slope, drainage, access, and any permitting needs — so the plan we build around actually fits the property, not a standard package.
We do not perform asphalt or concrete paving. Our construction services are gravel and dirt driveways, built with the same water-management principles we use to repair existing ones.
Free On-Site Assessment
We walk the site with you — soil, slope, drainage, access, and any permitting needs. Takes about 15 minutes and costs nothing.
Clear Quote With Options
Every new-build quote follows the on-site assessment — no per-foot formulas, no guessing, no pressure.
Permitting & Site Prep
Where a county access or culvert permit is required, we help coordinate it, then clear and prepare the subgrade.
Build, Grade & Compact
Base material placed in proper layers, graded to the correct crown and slope, and finished with full vibratory roller compaction.
What Sets Our Construction Work Apart
Built Right the First Time
We apply the same water-management principles to new construction that we use to fix failing driveways — proper grade, drainage, and compaction from day one.
Licensed Boulder County General Contractor
Front Range holds a Class B General Contractor license (commercial & residential) with Boulder County, so permitting, codes, and inspections are handled by a licensed GC — not a subcontractor guessing at requirements.
Site-Specific Planning
Every new-build plan is based on your property’s actual soil, slope, and drainage — not a standard package.
Compaction on Every Job
We finish every new driveway with a vibratory roller. Compaction is what keeps a new surface holding — and it’s the step most new-construction jobs skip.
