Big lots, long drives
The northwest side of Santa Fe — Tano Road, the Tano and Aldea areas, and the hills along the NM-599 corridor — is known for large lots and homes set far back for the views. That means long driveways, shared private roads and plenty of terrain between the house and the county road.
What works out here
- Chip seal on the long run — firm, stone-toned and far less per foot than asphalt.
- Asphalt at the house and on grades — parking courts, turnarounds and steep pitches.
- Drainage at every crossing — swales and culverts so snowmelt and storm water stay off the drive.
- Room for snow — planned storage so plowed snow doesn't melt back across the drive.
Shared roads and associations
Many roads here are shared or association-maintained. We price them as one project with a per-lot breakdown, or set up a maintenance plan for associations.

Questions we hear
Is chip seal a good fit on Tano Road-area drives?
Often — it suits long drives and the setting, with asphalt where it's steep or at the house.
Can you price a shared road by lot?
Yes.
Do you work along NM-599?
Yes, on private property throughout the corridor. Work at a state highway connection may need an NMDOT permit.
