Attorney - Tom Goeltz

Most of us leave road repairs to the government, but many people live off the beaten path and must maintain a private road or long driveway. Johnston, 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. Johnston offers a number of tips on sharing road-maintenance responsibilities successfully.

Library Journal

A treasure-trove of suggestions, recommendations, tips, and examples for anyone who owns or shares a private driveway, as well as anyone who designs, builds, or maintains roadways. Highly informative and entertaining.

Geotechnical Engineer - Jim Brisbine

Rod is well qualified to write this book having spent a long career in the field of construction most of which was involving roads, bridges, tunnels, and all the elemental parts of their construction. His efforts are to be commended also because he has condensed a library of engineering information into a book that any of us could read and comprehend.
