How Shipps Excavation Builds Strong, Reliable Roads
At Shipps Excavation, road building isn’t just about moving dirt — it’s about creating safe, long-lasting surfaces that connect communities and support growth. With decades of experience in road construction and excavation services, our team follows a proven process to deliver quality results from the ground up.
Step 1: Site Preparation & Land Clearing
Every road project begins with proper preparation. We remove trees, brush, and debris to create a clean, stable worksite. Our land clearing services ensure the area is ready for grading and construction.
Step 2: Grading & Excavation
Using advanced equipment, we perform precise grading and excavation to establish the correct roadbed elevation and slope. This step is critical for drainage, durability, and safety.
Step 3: Subgrade Stabilization
A strong road starts with a strong foundation. We stabilize the soil and compact the subgrade to prevent settling, erosion, and future damage.
Step 4: Base Layer Construction
Shipps Excavation installs layers of aggregate material to build a reliable base. This provides strength and stability, supporting the asphalt or concrete surface above.
Step 5: Drainage & Utilities
Proper drainage is key to long-lasting roads. Our team installs culverts, storm drains, and underground utilities where needed to keep water flowing away from the road structure.
Step 6: Final Surface & Finishing
After the foundation is in place, the final road surface — asphalt, concrete, or other material — is laid, compacted, and smoothed for a safe, even finish. We also handle road shoulders, curbs, and access points to complete the project.
