Driveway Excavation in Livingston County: FAQ

Usually a thin or missing stone base over wet clay, poor drainage, or frost heave. A new surface over the same base will fail the same way.
The approach and curb cut in the right-of-way need a permit from the city or road agency. Confirm local rules for the rest of the drive.
Once the base is installed and compacted, paving can follow. Heavy rain on an open base can soften the subgrade, so good crews keep the steps close together.
