Driveway Repair, Construction & Site Prep in Franktown, CO
Franktown acreage work usually starts with the same issues: a driveway that won’t hold, a slope that won’t stay put, or land too overgrown to use. Timberline Earthworks handles driveway repair and construction, custom retaining walls, and land clearing — so the property is usable, stable, and ready for what’s next.
Driveway Repair & Construction That Holds Up
Private driveways on acreage can take a beating from runoff, freeze-thaw, and daily traffic. Soft spots, ruts, washboarding, and washouts that come back every season usually mean water and a weak base — not that you simply need more gravel on top.
Timberline Earthworks rebuilds and builds driveways so they last: grade and crown so water sheds off, a compacted base suited to the soil, drainage where the drive needs it, and a finished surface that matches how you use the property. Geogrid or geocell can be added when soil or traffic conditions call for it.
We also take select driveway and access projects in Elizabeth, Castle Rock, and Parker.
What we do:
• Private driveway construction and rebuilds
• Regrading, base repair, and drainage fixes
• Access roads for new builds and acreage lots
• Site prep that sets up the driveway and pad together

Retaining Walls That Hold — and Look Finished
On sloped lots, a retaining wall isn’t just decoration. It holds grade, protects driveways and structures, and finishes the property. Walls that lean, bulge, or crack after a few seasons usually failed because water sat behind them and freeze-thaw pushed them out — especially when drainage, base, and reinforcement were skipped.
Timberline Earthworks builds custom retaining walls with the parts you don’t see done right: proper base, drainage, compaction, and geogrid or engineered systems when height or load needs it. Boulder, stone, or block chosen for the site — so the wall stays stable and looks intentional next to the home. Whether the wall sits beside a new driveway, under a deck, or along a hillside cut, we plan drainage and finish together.
We also take select retaining wall projects in Elizabeth, Castle Rock, and Parker.
What we do:
• Custom boulder and stone retaining walls
• Block systems where they fit the site
• Drainage behind and around the wall
• Driveway and access grading that works with the wall
• Stairs and grade transitions tied into the wall
Land Clearing for Access, Pads & Usable Ground
Before a driveway, pad, or build can move forward, the land has to be clear. Trees, brush, and overgrowth block access, hide soft ground and stumps, and stall every phase that comes after.
Timberline Earthworks clears trees, shrubs, brush, and overgrowth on Franktown properties so you have clean access and a workable site. Clearing is scoped to what you need — a driveway corridor, a building pad, brush reduction for access, or prep ahead of grading — not clearing for its own sake. We’ll walk the property, mark what’s coming out, and leave you ready for the next phase.
We also take select land clearing projects in Elizabeth, Castle Rock, and Parker.
What we do:
• Tree and shrub removal (as scoped)
• Brush and overgrowth clearing
• Clearing for driveway and access corridors
• Site prep ahead of grading or construction
• Haul-off or on-site staging as the job needs
