Driveways in Morgan County
Clay-rich soils common across Morgan County can turn soft and rutted when wet, which is why a solid stone base and good drainage matter on rural driveways. Connecting a new driveway to a public road may require approval from the city, county or state, depending on who maintains the road. If the work involves digging, the contractor is responsible for contacting Alabama 811.
