Farm Roads
Thurman Excavating & Hauling has worked with farm owners for more than two decades to provide a range of services for agricultural property.
One of the most requested is the building and maintenance necessary for farm roads and driveways. These long winding paths are often difficult for farmers to maintain without help from heavy equipment. It is an important investment and farm owners should be able to expect that the road will last for a generation and will protect the surrounding property from damage from runoff, erosion and flooding.
At Thurman Excavating & Hauling we work to assure that water does not stand on the roadway but moves in a controlled way off or through the road area. We start by grading a safe ground area and then work to compact the soil and build a firm foundation. We understand that building from the bottom up is the best way to protect the overall investment.
We also work with farmers for other needs that tend to be more specific for agricultural properties. Some of those include building the ponds for the property that you need for livestock or for irrigation sources of water. We also build trenches that you need for irrigation on your property.
We hope that you will take a look at some of the projects we have completed in the photos on our website. We look forward to hearing from you to better understand the project you have in mind for your own farm. And we are happy to meet you on the property to see the vision you have for your land.
Building and maintaining farm roads and driveways saves you time and money.
