Dirt and Gravel Work in Montevallo

Washouts after every heavy rain. Soft spots that swallow tires. Uneven surfaces that rattle vehicles and send gravel into the ditch. Poor driveway and roadbed construction costs you time, money, and frustration season after season. B&H Land Clearing and Tree Services specializes in dirt and gravel work across Montevallo and central Alabama—driveway building, roadbed prep, fill dirt placement, gravel spreading, and repairs that address the root causes, not just the symptoms.

Soft clay soil and heavy rain are constants in this region. Without proper compaction, grading, and material selection, driveways turn into muddy ruts and access roads become impassable. Clay soil can lose up to 40 percent of its load-bearing capacity when saturated, which is why gravel-only fixes fail and why engineered base layers matter.

You receive reliable service for homeowners, farms, and small commercial sites, with materials and methods suited for Alabama terrain and weather.

How Montevallo's Soil and Weather Challenge Every Driveway

Clay subsoil holds water, swells, and shifts. Gravel laid directly on clay sinks, migrates, and washes away during storms. A durable driveway or access road requires excavation to stable subgrade, placement of compacted fill dirt or road base, proper crown or slope for drainage, and a gravel top layer that sheds water instead of trapping it.

Compaction is non-negotiable. A roadbed compacted to 95 percent density can support vehicle loads without rutting, while an uncompacted base will fail within one season under regular traffic. Equipment, experience, and attention to grade and drainage separate temporary fixes from long-term solutions.

A well-built driveway or access road isn't just smoother—it's an asset. Here's what you gain:

• Durable surfaces that resist washouts and rutting common in Montevallo
• Proper drainage that moves water off the road and away from structures
• Reduced maintenance costs by eliminating seasonal regrading and gravel replacement
• Improved property access for deliveries, emergency vehicles, and daily use
• Higher resale value and curb appeal for rural and suburban properties

A standard residential driveway—roughly 12 feet wide and 200 feet long—requires 40 to 60 tons of gravel over a compacted base, installed in two to three days. You avoid the cycle of patching, adding gravel, and watching it wash away every spring.
