Local knowledge. The right equipment. Better roads
Based in North Tasmania, Tassie Road Doctors provides specialist gravel road-grading services across the North and North East of Tasmania.
Owned and operated by Ashley and Julie Summers, the business was established to bring the specialised Ruts Plus road-grading system to the region, providing a dedicated and efficient solution for maintaining gravel roads.
Tassie Road Doctors services rural properties, farms, businesses and private roads, helping to improve road surfaces and maintain reliable access throughout the year.
A gravel road is more than just a surface it provides access to homes, farms, properties and businesses. Regular maintenance can help reduce corrugations and potholes while creating a smoother, safer and more durable road surface.
Gravel Road Grading
Our purpose-built Ruts Plus equipment is designed specifically to work hard surfaces such as gravel roads. Rather than simply dragging a blade across the surface, the system works through the road material, helping to break down potholes and corrugations and remix the existing material.
The material is then spread, reshaped and crowned to help restore the road surface.
This approach can help:
Smooth out potholes and corrugations
Break up uneven road surfaces
Remix existing gravel and fines
Redistribute road material
Restore the shape and crown of the road
Improve the overall ride and appearance
Help maintain your gravel road before problems become bigger and more expensive
The condition of each road is different, and the most appropriate grading approach will depend on the existing surface, material, drainage and weather conditions.
