Driveway Paving in NE Georgia
A driveway is the first thing visitors see and the last thing most homeowners think about until it's failing. Building a new one right — asphalt or concrete — comes down to the base. Cut corners on grading, drainage, or compaction, and the surface you pay for today will start failing in five years instead of twenty.
Our driveway paving service covers homeowners across Athens, Commerce, Jefferson, Watkinsville, Winder, and the rest of Jackson and Barrow counties. Asphalt driveways get a compacted stone base, hot-mix binder, and a finishing layer that seals clean. Concrete drives get 4,000 psi mix on a graded and formed base with expansion joints in the right places. You choose the surface and the finish; we handle the details that make it last a generation instead of a season.

4,000 psi mix standard; broom or stamp finishes available.
