Why the base matters in Campbell Hill
Clay-heavy soils are common across this region, and they stay soft long after a storm. Water trapped under a drive or lot freezes in winter and lifts the surface, then leaves it hollow in the thaw. We handle it the same way every time: grade for runoff, remove soft subgrade, and compact clean rock in layers before any asphalt goes down.
A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.
