We pave for golf courses, resort properties, planned communities and private estates, and we work around play, turf and irrigation.
Golf Cart Path Paving Design: Widths, Grades and Turning Areas
A single-lane cart path is commonly 6 to 8 feet wide, and a two-way path is typically 8 to 10 feet or more, with wider pads at tees and parking areas. Grades should stay moderate for safety, and steep slopes need extra attention to traction and drainage. Curves are designed with generous radii, and areas where carts brake, turn and queue are strengthened because turning loads wear pavement quickly.
Golf Cart Path Paving Base: Crushed Rock Subbase for Turf and Hillside Conditions
Cart paths cross turf, rock, fill and drainage lines. We excavate organic soil, stabilize soft zones and compact a crushed rock base. Along hillsides we plan cut-and-fill carefully to protect existing trees, irrigation and playing areas.
Golf Cart Path Paving Thickness: Hot-Mix Asphalt for Carts and Maintenance Vehicles
Typical cart path sections use 2 to 3 inches of compacted asphalt over crushed rock, with heavier sections where maintenance trucks, beverage carts or fleet vehicles use the path regularly.
Golf Cart Path Paving Drainage: Cross-Slope, Swales and Culvert Crossings
Water running down a path erodes edges and creates ice. We use cross-slopes, swales and culverts to move water across and away from the path and restore turf along the edges so grass and soil do not wash onto the pavement.
Golf Cart Path Paving for Communities: HOA Trails and Shared-Use Paths
Many planned communities, including those around Liberty Lake and the Spokane Valley, use cart-compatible paths for residents. We construct shared-use paths that meet cart, bicycle and pedestrian needs, with sight distances, signage coordination and crossings planned in advance. If you are connecting a path to a road or lot, see subdivision road paving and walkway paving.
Course tip: Scheduling path work during shoulder seasons, or in sections, minimizes lost play and protects turf from construction traffic.
