Why Mobile Roads Fail Before They Should
Most private roads don’t fail from traffic. They fail from water. When rain can’t drain off the road or under it, the base softens, the edges wash out, and every truck that crosses makes it worse.
Mobile County’s flat, low lying ground and sandy soils make drainage the deciding factor on almost every road job. That’s why road construction starts with the ground itself: grading for real slope, building a stable road base, and setting culverts where water needs to cross.
DJ’s Asphalt & Landscaping is a family owned asphalt contractor based in Irvington, building private roads, gravel roads, and site grading across Mobile since 1998. Call (251) 689-0123 for a free estimate.
Road Construction Services We Offer
Site Grading
Grading sets the slope before any road or pavement goes in. On flat Mobile County parcels, water has nowhere to go until it’s built into the site.
- Cut and fill to create positive drainage
- Shaping building pads, road paths, and lots so water moves away
- Prepares the ground for subgrade preparation and paving
Culvert Installation
When a road crosses a ditch, creek, or natural low spot, water needs a way under it. Without a culvert, it goes over the road or soaks into the base.
- Culverts set at the right grade so water keeps moving
- Tied into ditches along the road edge
- Helps protect road edges from washing out during heavy storms
Gravel Road Construction
Gravel roads depend on shape and compaction. A properly crowned, compacted road sheds water to the sides instead of holding it in the wheel paths.
- Compacted stone base sized for the traffic the road will carry
- Crowned surface and side ditching for runoff
- A practical option for rural acreage, farm access, and industrial yards
Private Road Widening
A road built for passenger cars often can’t handle box trucks, equipment haulers, and two way traffic once a subdivision or property grows.
- Added width so larger vehicles can pass without tearing up the shoulder
- Room for fire trucks and emergency access
- Rebuilt edges where runoff has carried the base away
Ready to pave the road once it’s built? See our paving contractor services for private road and parking lot paving.
Repair the Road or Rebuild It
Nearly every site visit, an owner asks us some version of this. What the base is doing matters way more than how the surface looks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between site grading and subgrade preparation?
Site grading shapes the land so water drains properly. Subgrade preparation comes after, compacting and stabilizing the ground right under the road or pavement. See our site grading page.
When does a road need a culvert?
Anywhere water naturally crosses the road’s path, like a ditch, drainage swale, or low spot. Without one, water either flows over the road or softens the base underneath. Learn about culvert installation.
Should my private road be gravel or paved?
Gravel costs less upfront and works well for rural and low traffic roads. Paving makes more sense for subdivisions, heavier traffic, and properties where a smooth, low maintenance surface matters. Both need good drainage. See gravel road construction or private road paving.
Can an existing private road be widened?
Yes. We can widen roads to handle larger vehicles and two way traffic, rebuilding the edges so the new section holds up.
Do I need a permit for a private road?
It depends on the project and location. Work near a county right of way, drainage changes, or new subdivision roads may need approval. Check with Mobile County or your local municipality before work begins.
How much does road construction cost?
Every project is priced on its own. Road length, width, base depth, and how much grading or drainage work is needed all affect the final number. Call us for a free estimate.
