Gravel

The County has 16 full-time grader beats covering approximately 90 to 100 miles each. Each grader is responsible for 10 to 12 miles per day with the following guidelines: maintain a 4" crown, do not leave windrows, remove large rocks, feather gravel evenly. The frequency that roads are graded is based on traffic volume, but may vary with necessity.
