Gravel Driveway & Private Road Construction in Kansas City
Every property needs a reliable way in and out. ICON builds gravel driveways and private roads that stay solid through Kansas City’s clay soils, heavy rain, and freeze–thaw cycles. With proper subgrade work, drainage, and GPS-accurate grading, your driveway won’t rut, wash out, or “eat rock.”
Because we price with real data—not guesswork—you’ll know what your project will cost upfront. We may not be the cheapest bid, but our customers appreciate that the invoice looks like the estimate. No surprises, no overages, no back-tracking.

Our Gravel Driveway & Private Road Capabilities
We build new gravel driveways, rebuild failing ones, and construct long private roads for acreages, farms, and rural homesites across the KC metro. Every project starts with a stable subgrade, proper drainage, and a compacted base built for long-term use.
Capabilities include:
Full excavation & subgrade shaping — strip organics, cut high spots, fill low areas, and create the driving alignment.
Proof-roll & stabilization — identify soft areas, undercut as needed, and stabilize weak clay pockets.
Geotextile fabric installation — stops rock from sinking into clay soils in problem areas.
Base rock installation — placed in compacted lifts (4–8"+) based on vehicle loads.
Fine/finish grading — build proper crown and cross-slope so water sheds off the surface.
Driveway culverts — sizing, installation, inlet/outlet shaping, and riprap to prevent erosion.
Long private road construction — for acreages, shared drives, and new development access.
Farm and equipment-grade access roads — built for heavy trailers, tractors, and service trucks.
Prep for future paving — asphalt or concrete crews get a clean, compacted base ready to pave.

GPS-Accurate Grading & Dependable Project Costs
ICON uses modern GPS machine control to shape consistent elevations, slopes, and drainage paths. That accuracy carries through to our estimating. We know exactly how much earth to move and how much rock to place—so our bids reflect the true cost of the work.
Customers tell us they choose ICON because the final invoice matches the proposal. Reliable numbers, reliable construction.
