Driveway paving and resurfacing
Plan the route, grade, base and drainage for reliable access to the property.
DAWSON COUNTY, GEORGIA
DAWSONVILLE.
ASPHALT
PAVING.
Dawson County caps residential driveway grade at 15 percent and commercial access at 8 percent. Paving here starts with grading to those numbers, then builds the surface on top of it.
LOCAL GROUND. A PLAN THAT FITS.
THE RIGHT GRADE.
BEFORE THE ASPHALT.
Dawson County's driveway ordinance caps residential grade at 15 percent and commercial or industrial access at 8 percent, with a maximum cut or fill slope of 2 to 1. Culverts have to run at least 15 inches in diameter and 25 feet long.
On the long rural drives common here, those numbers decide the base and drainage plan before a single layer of asphalt goes down, and getting the grade wrong means redoing the base along with the surface.

ASPHALT PAVING.
Long rural driveway paving
Plan the culvert crossings and grade changes a longer rural drive adds along the way.
Parking lot paving
Build a prepared, durable surface for the traffic your property needs to handle.
Seal coating
Assess the existing asphalt and use polymer-modified sealer to protect the surface.
BUILT AROUND THE CONDITIONS
BETTER SEALER.
LONGER-LASTING PROTECTION.
We run a polymer-modified sealer rather than the coal-tar mix common in the trade. The cheap version looks fine going down and starts graying out in about four months.
Polymer-modified costs more per square foot going in, but it carries a one-year warranty against graying, and the honest pitch is doing it once and coming back in five years, rather than resealing every six to twelve months.
PLAN THE WORK BEFORE IT STARTS
PAVEMENT AND BASE.
BUILT TO THE SPEC.
Dawson County's own driveway standard calls for a plant mix surface 1.5 inches thick over 4 inches of graded aggregate base, or a 4-inch concrete alternative, with 6 inches of aggregate where the work falls inside public right-of-way. We build to that spec on every driveway and access road, since Dawsonville's terrain punishes a thin base faster than flatter ground would.
PLAN THE WHOLE JOB
FROM BASE TO SURFACE.
A COMPLETE PAVING PLAN.
Every job starts with a site walk and a real diagnosis of what’s wrong with the existing surface, ahead of any reseal quote. From there it’s tear-out and base work where the asphalt has failed, spot patching where it’s holding, and sealing to protect what’s left. Striping stays bundled inside an asphalt paving or resurfacing job rather than something we quote on its own.
