Private Road & Lane Paving in Moncton
Long private lanes and shared rural roads, paved with the drainage and base a long run over uneven country ground actually needs.
A long lane is a different job from a town driveway, and paving it like one is how it fails. Over a long run the ground changes, the grade rises and falls, and water has a lot of length to find the low spots. Getting the drainage and the base right along the whole way is what separates a lane that lasts from one that ruts and cracks within a few seasons, and it is how Moncton Paving Co approaches every long run.
Planned Along the Whole Length
Before we pave a private road or a long lane, we look at the full run: where the grade changes, where water collects, and where the ground goes soft. Then we build and compact the base to suit the traffic and the ground, and set the drainage so water is carried off along the entire length rather than pooling in the dips. On rural land this is most of the work, and it is where a lane is won or lost.
The Right Surface for the Run
For a long lane the choice of surface matters as much as the build. Smooth asphalt gives the cleanest finish and the easiest winter clearing, while tar and chip costs less per foot and suits a rural setting over a long distance. We talk you through which fits your property, your traffic, and your budget, and give you a fixed written price before any work begins.

Private Road & Lane Paving Questions
Do you pave long rural driveways and private lanes?
Yes. Long lanes and private roads around Salisbury and the rural edges of Greater Moncton are a good part of what we do. A long run crosses more grade changes and more variable ground than a town driveway, so the drainage and base work have to be planned along the whole length, and we price and build for that rather than treating it like an oversized driveway.
Asphalt or tar and chip for a long lane?
It depends on the length, the traffic, and your budget. Smooth asphalt gives the cleanest finish and the easiest snow clearing, while tar and chip costs less per foot and suits a rustic rural setting, which matters over a long run. We walk you through the trade-offs for your specific lane so you pick the surface that fits, rather than defaulting to one.
The ground on my property is soft in places. Can it still be paved?
Usually, yes, but it is exactly the kind of thing that has to be dealt with before paving, not discovered after. Soft or wet spots need the base built up and drained properly, or the surface will fail there first. We assess the ground along the whole run and build the base to suit it, which is the difference between a lane that lasts and one that ruts.
