Driveways & Road Construction in Deschutes County, OR
Driveways and access roads cut, graded, and based for Central Oregon's long rural runs.
Cut, Crowned, and Based to Hold Up Under Regular Traffic
Many Deschutes and Crook County parcels sit well back from the road, which makes the driveway its own real project. BGH Excavation cuts and crowns the route, then bases it to hold up under regular traffic.

Planned for Central Oregon Ground Conditions
We plan for basalt shelf, volcanic rock, and seasonal ground conditions before we price the job, so it doesn't turn into a surprise halfway through.
Long Rural Approaches
Many Deschutes and Crook County parcels sit well back from the public road, making the driveway its own real project, not an afterthought.
Basalt Rock Along the Route
Rock shelf can run right through a planned driveway corridor — we account for it at quote time, not mid-dig.
Seasonal Washboarding & Runoff
Unbased rural roads washboard and wash out with seasonal runoff — proper crown and base rock prevent it.
Culvert & Drainage Crossings
A route crossing a natural drainage needs a culvert sized correctly, or the driveway becomes the dam.
Who We Work For
Homeowners
Whether it's a new driveway to a home site or fixing one that washes out every spring, we cut, crown, and base it so it holds up for years, not one season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a driveway and road construction contractor?
A driveway and road construction contractor builds the private driveways and access roads that connect your home, shop or property to the road. The work includes clearing and grading the route, building a compacted gravel base, and shaping the surface so water drains off. BGH Excavation builds private gravel driveways and rural access roads for homeowners, builders and developers across Redmond, Bend and Deschutes County, Oregon, including long runs across acreage.
How much does a gravel driveway cost in Redmond, Bend and Deschutes County?
Most gravel driveways cost about $500 to $3,500, with an average near $1,800. A long rural driveway of around 2,000 square feet typically runs about $3,500 to $6,000 or more, and many Central Oregon drives are longer than that. Length, slope, rock and the amount of gravel needed set the price. BGH Excavation gives a free on-site estimate, so you get a firm number for your driveway.
Do I need a permit to build a driveway in Deschutes County?
If your driveway connects to a Deschutes County road, you need a county driveway access permit, and it has to be in place before building permits are issued for a new home or shop. The county also sets rules for how many driveways a parcel can have and where they can sit. BGH Excavation helps handle the permitting, so your driveway is built to what the county requires.
What makes a gravel driveway or access road last in Deschutes County?
A good base and good drainage. We build a compacted gravel base, usually about 4 to 6 inches deep, and shape the surface so it sheds water. Culverts and ditch lines carry runoff across the route so spring snowmelt doesn't wash the driveway out. On long rural drives, getting the base and drainage right at the start keeps maintenance down for years.
