Private & Rural Road Construction in Colorado

Private and Access Road Construction Across Rural Colorado

Dotts Construction builds and grades private roads, access roads, and driveways for rural and mountain properties throughout Colorado. From cutting in a brand-new road to regrading a washed-out gravel drive, our crews handle the whole job. Licensed, insured, and locally owned in Divide, we bring professional-grade equipment and fast turnaround, and the number we quote is the number you pay.

Building Roads and Driveways for Colorado’s Toughest Terrain

Rural road building is its own skill. We cut new roads into raw ground, build up gravel road base that holds through mud season, and set culverts and drainage so your road survives Colorado runoff and snowmelt. Every road starts with proper site preparation and excavation.

We pair road work with land clearing, professional dirt work, and precise site grading so your access road, driveway, and building site all tie together and drain correctly.

New Road Cut-In and Gravel Road Build

Need access to a back lot or a new build site? We cut new roads into raw terrain, establish a stable subgrade, and lay compacted gravel base for a road that lasts. We size the road to your use, from a single driveway to a shared access road, and grade it to shed water.

Road Grading, Culverts, and Drainage

An existing gravel road that is rutted, washboarded, or holding water gets new life with regrading and fresh base. We install culverts, cut ditches, and shape crown and slope so water leaves the road surface instead of destroying it. Good drainage is what separates a road that lasts from one you rebuild every spring. It ties directly into proper site grading.
