Hot Mix Asphalt Paving, Built From the Ground Up

Asphalt paving is the main work we do, and most of it happens before any asphalt shows up. The site is graded so water runs off it instead of sitting in the base. The base rock goes down and gets compacted. Then hot mix asphalt is laid and rolled while it is still hot, which is how it knits together.

Plenty of jobs go over a gravel or crush and run drive that has been in place for years. The rock is reshaped and compacted first, and soft spots are dug out and rebuilt. Where old pavement has failed, we cut it out, rebuild what is under it and pave again. When the base is sound and only the surface is worn, an asphalt overlay costs less than tearing it out.

We pave for homeowners, businesses, churches, schools, towns and builders. Driveways, parking lots, private roads and subdivision streets all get the same order of work. Edges are cut clean, and tie-ins at garages, walks and the road are kept flush. The quote spells out the square footage, the base work and the asphalt thickness for your job.

Under one company

Paving, Sealcoating, Repair and Striping Under One Company

We run our own grading and paving equipment. The motor grader and the track loader shape the ground and the base. The paver and the rollers put the hot mix down and compact it. Later, that same pavement gets sealcoating, crack filling, patching and fresh lines from the same company.

The materials come from us too. Fill dirt and topsoil, crush and run, stone and millings arrive by the load. We spread or grade them where the job needs them. That keeps the base work and the paving on one schedule.

Our yards in Grove Hill and Robertsdale cover south Alabama from the timber country to the Gulf Coast. Homes, businesses, churches, schools and towns get the same order of work and the same written quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Asphalt Paving?

The questions homeowners, businesses and churches across south Alabama ask us most. If yours is not here, call and we will answer it.

Call (251) 589-9970

How long before I can drive on new asphalt?
Plan on staying off it for a few days. New hot mix carries a car soon after it is rolled and cooled. Industry guidance is to wait a few days before regular use, and longer for heavy trucks and moving vans. In summer heat it stays soft, so move where you park.
What does asphalt paving cost?
It depends on the job, so we price each one after seeing it. Size, the ground under it, the base work, the asphalt thickness and the haul from the yard move the number. We come out, look at the job and give you a written quote. Driveway paving cost in Alabama covers the market ranges.
What areas do you serve?
We work about 100 miles around Grove Hill. That takes in Clarke County and the timber country, Jackson, Thomasville and Monroeville. It runs south to Mobile, Baldwin County and the Gulf Coast, close to our second yard in Robertsdale. You can see the towns we cover on one page.
Can you pave over an existing gravel or crush and run driveway?
Yes, that is a common job here. The rock is reshaped, crowned so water runs off, and compacted, and soft spots are rebuilt. Thin rock gets more base before the hot mix goes down. New asphalt driveways are built the same way from bare ground.
How thick should an asphalt driveway be?
Industry guidance is about 3 inches of compacted asphalt for a car driveway. The Asphalt Institute recommends 6 to 8 inches of compacted crushed aggregate base under it. Heavier trucks, RVs and farm equipment call for a thicker section. Your quote spells out the thickness and the base work for your driveway.
Asphalt, millings or gravel for a long driveway?
Hot mix asphalt gives the smoothest surface and the longest service, and it costs the most up front. Asphalt millings pack tighter than loose rock and hold down dust, which suits farm and timber roads. Crush and run costs the least up front and wants grading now and then. We do not do tar and chip.
Do you pave and stripe commercial parking lots?
Yes, we build, replace and expand lots for businesses, churches, schools, apartments and new commercial buildings. Truck lanes, bus loops and dumpster pads get a heavier section. Parking lot paving and striping come from the same company. We plan the work in phases with you.
When is paving season in south Alabama?
Paving runs most of the year here. Hot mix needs dry ground and has to be compacted while it is hot. Rain and cold snaps move paving dates, and winters here are mild. Alabama's highway specification stops thin hot mix layers when the air or surface drops below 40 degrees.
