Managing Water and Elevation
Low-lying areas along Spring Creek and West Chickamauga Creek near I-75 can flood during unusually heavy rain. Drainage and site elevation dictate how we plan paving in these sections. If your lot sits on Bodine soil in the Southern Appalachian Ridges and Valleys, we plan for runoff control around the paved area to handle the rapid water movement. For lots on Fullerton gravelly silt loam, the moderate infiltration means the subgrade drains predictably, but we still verify the conditions before laying base material.
Paving and Milling Equipment
When replacing an existing driveway, we use cold milling to remove the old pavement to the specified depth. We clean the milled surface completely before the next paving operation to ensure the new material bonds. We apply the binding agent using a calibrated tack-coat distributor truck, which places the exact rate of tack needed for the new asphalt to adhere to the prepared surface.
Asphalt Sealing and Crack Repair
Asphalt sealing costs $1 to $2 per square foot. We apply this after a new surface has cured to protect it from the zone 4A summer heat and winter freeze cycles. For existing driveways with surface fractures, we prepare the area for crack sealing using a hot-air lance to heat, clean, and dry the cracks. This ensures the sealing material bonds directly to the asphalt rather than trapping moisture inside the pavement.

We Do the Work
Our crew does the work, checks it, and leaves the site clean. You see everything we did.
What this typically involves:
- Place the asphalt mixture with a paver at a uniform speed and maintain uniform mat thickness. [S5]
