Driveways, Lots and Private Roads

  • Residential Driveways — New installs, resurfacing, widening, and turn-arounds with tidy edges and smooth apron tie-ins.

  • Parking Lots — Retail, office, medical, school, church: phased work, crisp striping, ADA layouts, speed bumps, wheel stops.

  • Private Roads and Lanes — Cross-slope corrections, ditch/culvert tie-ins, durable surface mixes for hills, shade, and heavy pickups.

  • Milling and Overlay — Mill 1-2″, tack, and pave a dense lift that drains right and rides quiet.

  • Sealcoating and Maintenance — Keep the surface dark, tight, and readable with scheduled care.

  • Repairs — Potholes, utility cuts, fatigue (alligator) cracking, ruts, birdbaths, and transitions.

How We Work – Start to Finish

  1. Site Walk and Plan — We measure, note drainage paths, elevations, and tie-ins; mark grade-critical areas.

  2. Prep and Base — Saw cuts where needed, proof-roll soft spots, touch up base so the new mat has support.

  3. Milling (if needed) — Remove 1-2″ to reset profile and curb heights; sweep clean so tack bonds.

  4. Tack Coat — Uniform bond between layers, no shortcuts.

  5. Pave — The right mix and thickness for your use (driveway vs lot vs lane).

  6. Compact — Proper rolling sequence for density, long life, and a smooth, quiet ride.

  7. Finish and Stripe — Neat joints, clean edges, fresh striping, ADA symbols, arrows, and stops as planned.

  8. Care Guide — When to open to traffic, how to avoid early scuffing, and simple maintenance tips.

Common Thickness and Mixes

  • Driveways — About 2.0-2.5″ total on a solid base (project-specific).

  • Parking Lots — 2.5-3.5″ total (binder surface) depending on traffic and trucks.

  • Milling Depth — 1-2″ typical; deeper where rutted or overlaid multiple times.

  • Mix Designs — Tennessee-approved surface mixes; polymer-modified options for high heat or heavy use.

  • Drainage and Grades — We target proper cross-slope and clean tie-ins at curbs, aprons, and drains to move water off the pavement.

We price by scope: square footage, thickness, base condition, milling needs, striping/ADA, and access. Text photos or book a quick site walk in Putnam County. We will hand you good / better / best options so you can pick what fits the property and the budget. Small jobs can be one-day turnarounds; larger sites get a phased plan that keeps customers and tenants moving.

Mini Q and A for Putnam County

How long before I can drive on new asphalt?
Light car traffic is often same day after rolling; avoid tight turns and scuffing for 24-48 hours in hot weather.

Is milling better than overlay?
If you have ponding or curb/threshold height issues, yes — mill first to reset grades, then pave for better bond and drainage.

How thick should a driveway be?
Many homes are happy around 2″ total on a proper base; steep drives or heavy use may need more.

How often should I sealcoat?
About every 2-3 years depending on sun, traffic, and snowplows — sooner if the surface looks dry or cracks are opening.

Can you keep my business open during paving?
Absolutely. We phase the work and use cones, signs, and flaggers so people stay safe and access stays open.
