Laying the Groundwork for Lasting Roads

At Chilton Contractors Inc., we know that a solid road begins beneath the surface. Our Road Bed Processing services ensure that every roadway we build is supported by a properly prepared, stable, and uniform foundation. Whether for highways, subdivisions, or industrial access roads, we process the subgrade to meet load-bearing specs, moisture requirements, and compaction standards—creating the ideal platform for paving.

We blend and recondition existing materials, correct moisture content, and shape the grade with precision equipment to prevent failures like rutting, cracking, or settling down the line. It’s a foundational step that supports everything above it—literally.
