Road Building and Driveway Construction
Private roads, gravel driveways, aggregate base, drainage. Built for North Idaho weather and winter snow.
Roads and Driveways — done right, done once.
A gravel road or driveway is really three things stacked: a subgrade that won’t pump, a base that drains, and a running surface that sheds water. Get any layer wrong and you’ll be chasing ruts and potholes every spring.
We build new driveways and private roads across North Idaho — from short residential approaches to half-mile mountain driveways and private logging roads. Every one gets proper crown, proper ditching, and the right aggregate spec for the traffic it’ll see.
Four steps from first call to finished work.
No games, no mystery pricing, no “we’ll see when we get there”. Here’s how every Premier job runs.
Walk the land
We come out, walk the property with you, and understand what you’re trying to get done. Free, no pressure.
Straight quote
You get a written quote with scope, timeline, and price — in days, not weeks. No bait-and-switch.
Do the work
We show up when we said we would and run the job with our own crew and equipment. You stay informed.
Walk it again
Final walk-through. If something isn’t right, we fix it before we invoice. That’s our guarantee.
The difference is in how it’s done.
Properly crowned
Water sheds both sides — the single biggest factor in driveway life.
Right aggregate, right depth
Pit-run base, 3/4-minus surface, or whatever the soil calls for.
Drainage first
Ditches, culverts, and outfalls engineered for our rainfall and snowmelt.
Built for the winter
We build roads that still work in March, not just August.
Situations we solve every week.
Driveways built for North Idaho weather.
Design fits the terrain
We’ve built driveways on every kind of North Idaho terrain — flat timber lots, steep mountain approaches, wet low spots. The design changes based on what the land demands.
Drainage is never an upsell
We don’t skip the ditching. Most driveway failures trace back to water that wasn’t given somewhere to go. Our quotes always include drainage — it’s not an upsell.
Best aggregate, delivered right
Aggregate pricing varies a lot around the region. We pull from the pits that give our clients the best delivered price without sacrificing the spec.
Ballpark pricing — starting ranges.
Every property is different. The numbers below are typical North Idaho ranges — your actual quote depends on access, site conditions, and scope.

Roads and Driveways — answered.
How wide should a residential driveway be?
Standard is 12–14 ft for a single-lane, 20–22 ft for a two-lane. Long driveways benefit from turnouts every 400–500 ft for passing and for emergency access.
Do I need culverts?
If your driveway crosses any ditch or drainage, yes. We size culverts based on watershed — too small and they’ll wash out in heavy runoff.
What’s the difference between pit-run and 3/4-minus?
Pit-run is unscreened native aggregate used for base; 3/4-minus is a screened, crushed surface aggregate that packs tightly and sheds water. We often layer both.
How long does a driveway last?
A properly built, properly drained gravel driveway lasts 10+ years before it needs a refresh. Poorly drained ones fail in a single winter.
Can you do asphalt or chip-seal?
We build the base and subgrade; we partner with paving specialists for final asphalt or chip-seal when that’s the finish you want.
Often paired with grading drainage.
