About this title

Synopsis

How are you going to fix that road? Good Question! For those wanting to permanently fix and maintain their roads and driveways, the Road Repair Handbook fully explains why roads fall apart and how to repair them. Heavy on straightforward advice, practical tips, and smart construction strategies, this book covers the process and pitfalls inherent in repairing dirt, gravel, concrete, and asphalt roads. Metric equivalents and an emphasis on unimproved roads help to advance the book's worldwide appeal.

Reviews

Most of us leave road repairs to the government, but a surprising number of people live off the beaten path and must maintain a private road or long driveway. Johnston, a land development and construction consultant with over 25 years of road-building experience, shows how to maintain or restore a road properly. This information should prove helpful whether one is doing the work oneself or hiring a contractor and needing to monitor and evaluate that work. In some cases, roads are jointly owned by neighbors or by a homeowners' association, and Johnston offers a number of tips on sharing road-maintenance responsibilities successfully. As with many other projects, proper preparation and preventive maintenance are the keys to success; readers are shown how to grade the surface and then care for the finished product. Admittedly, there is a small market for this type of book, but those public libraries serving rural populations should consider it.
