A gravel driveway in Alachua County does not wash out because rain falls on it. It washes out because of what that rain does underneath it.
Florida’s afternoon thunderstorms drop three or more inches in under an hour. On a driveway without proper base preparation and drainage, that water does not run off. It penetrates the sandy-clayey subgrade, displaces soil beneath the gravel, and creates voids. The surface holds until a truck or trailer passes over it. Then it ruts, soft-spots, or collapses entirely.
This is the documented reality of North Central Florida soil and rainfall. It is why rural Alachua County property owners along corridors like CR 235, NW 222nd Avenue, and CR 337 have been dealing with access road conditions that county maintenance cannot keep up with.
Private driveways and access roads in this area have the same problem. Material laid on an unprepared subgrade without drainage washes out every summer. The fix is not more gravel. It is doing the subgrade and drainage correctly the first time.
On Track Land Management builds driveways and access roads for Alachua’s actual conditions.
Posted on Google Amanda NethercuttTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On Track Land Management did an excellent job forest mulching our property. Several acres were extremely overgrown, but now we can clearly see the lay of the land. Cody was professional, very responsive, and great to work with. We’re looking forward to the next phase!Posted on Google curtiss mecuskerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cody did a great job clear cutting and also removing 6 inch trees and smaller, also underbrush , from my property. He gave me good advice , he was willing to include changes as the job progressed and worked hard to complete the job on schedule. I will be using him in the future for additional clearing and dirt wok.Posted on Google Blane EvansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing job!!! Very punctual and does exceptional work!! Will be using him again for another project in the near future. He is very honest with people about jobs and he values honesty over making money from people. His honesty and advice saved me over $5000 on a different job that another company quoted me. Will be recommending Mr. Cody Gabbard to anyone in the future that needs brush work removal, soil leveling or any skid steer related work for their property. I would not go with anyone else but him because he is the best there is. Exceptional work!!Posted on Google Lea BrecknerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Removing debris is about more than just maintaining appearance—it protects your property from pest infestations, drainage blockages, and fire hazards.
Every driveway and access road job starts with a site walk, not a material order.
We assess the route, existing soil conditions, natural drainage flow, and where water is going to go when it rains. That assessment determines the subgrade approach, the base material selection, and where culverts need to go before anything gets graded. In Alachua County’s sandy-clayey soil, what is under the surface matters as much as what is on it.
Subgrade preparation follows. We shape and compact the base before any surface material goes down. Loose, unprepared subgrade is why driveways fail after Florida’s first heavy rain. Lime rock, crusher run, recycled millings, or crushed rock are selected based on your site conditions, traffic load, and intended use. We will tell you which material makes sense for your specific situation.
Drainage is built in, not added after the material is down. Swales, ditches, and culvert pipes are installed where water needs to exit the driveway corridor rather than pool, penetrate, and undercut the surface.
Final grade is set with the correct slope for water to move off the surface and stay off.

The fix is subgrade and drainage, not more gravel. We compact the base correctly and install drainage before any surface material goes down. More gravel on a failed subgrade just delays the next washout.
Depends on your site and use. Lime rock drains well locally. Crusher run compacts tight for heavy traffic. Millings suit moderate-use drives. We recommend based on your soil and load.
Yes. From route clearing to subgrade, culverts, and surface material — we build rural access roads to homesites, farms, and off-grid properties across Alachua County.
Yes. Culverts, swales, and ditches are part of every install that needs water management — which is most jobs here. Drainage is what keeps the surface from failing after the first storm.
Both. We repair washouts, regrade rutted surfaces, and improve drainage on existing driveways. If it needs rebuilding from the subgrade up, we will tell you that upfront.
