WM Tucker provides road and driveway construction services designed to last in Middle Tennessee conditions. Roads and driveways must handle water, traffic, and changing ground conditions. When they are not built correctly from the start, they fail.
With over 20 years of experience across Dickson County and surrounding areas, we plan every road and driveway around proper grading, drainage, and compaction so access holds up over time.
Every road and driveway we build is designed around how water actually behaves on the property. We account for slope, soil composition, runoff paths, and traffic load to prevent washouts, rutting, and edge failure.
By focusing on drainage control and proper compaction from the start, we help property owners avoid ongoing maintenance issues and costly repairs common with poorly built access roads in Middle Tennessee.

WHY ROAD AND DRIVEWAY PREPARATION MATTERS
Most road and driveway failures start below the surface, not on top. Poor base material, trapped water, and improper slope lead to washouts, ruts, and constant repairs.
Proper preparation focuses on building a stable foundation and managing water before it causes damage.

- Correct Base Thickness And Compaction
- Managing Water Before It Reaches The Surface
- Designing Slopes That Shed Water
- Building For Traffic And Load Requirements
DRAINAGE AND CULVERT WORK
Water is the leading cause of road and driveway damage in Middle Tennessee. Drainage systems must move water away from driving surfaces without causing erosion or soft spots.
Every drainage solution is designed to protect both the road and the surrounding property.

Equipment and Experience That Matter
Excavation quality depends on both experience and equipment. We use professional-grade machinery suited for precise work, not oversized equipment that damages property or underpowered machines that slow progress.
Years of hands-on experience allow us to adjust quickly when conditions change, whether that means dealing with rock, clay, water, or unexpected site challenges.
Road & Driveway FAQs
What causes driveways to wash out?
Washed out driveways are usually caused by poor drainage, improper slope, or an unstable base that allows water to erode material.
How long should a gravel driveway last?
With proper base preparation and drainage, a gravel driveway can last many years with minimal maintenance.
Why does driveway repair fail sometimes?
Repairs fail when the underlying problem, usually water or base failure, is not corrected before resurfacing.
What is included in driveway preparation?
Preparation includes grading, base installation, compaction, and drainage planning to support long term use.
Do roads and driveways need drainage systems?
Yes. Water is the leading cause of failure. Drainage systems protect the surface and base from erosion and saturation.
What type of base is best for roads and driveways?
The best base depends on soil type, traffic load, and drainage conditions. Proper thickness and compaction matter more than material alone.
Can an existing driveway be rebuilt instead of replaced?
In many cases yes. If the base can be corrected and drainage improved, rebuilding may be possible.
How do you fix soft or sinking driveway areas?
Soft areas usually require excavation, base repair, compaction, and drainage correction.
What is a culvert and when is it needed?
A culvert allows water to pass under a driveway or road. It is needed anywhere water crosses an access point.
How do I know if my driveway needs repair or replacement?
Signs include standing water, deep ruts, erosion, or repeated washouts. A site assessment helps determine the best option.
