This was gravel.

Our own jobs, before and after. We grade and pack what is there, build the base where it is soft, and lay hot-mix asphalt with clean, square edges.

Straight answers

Can you pave over my gravel driveway?

Yes, that is most of what we do. We grade and compact the gravel you have, add base where it is thin or soft, and lay hot-mix asphalt over it. We will tell you at the estimate what your drive needs.

How does the 10% off work?

It comes off any paving project, any size, residential or commercial. We take it right off your estimate.

Is the estimate free?

Yes. We come out, look at the job, and give you a straight price with no obligation.

Do you pave parking lots and commercial work?

Yes. Business, church, and shop lots, entrances, pads, and industrial yards, along with home driveways and private roads.

When do I pay?

On most jobs we finish the work before we ask for payment. We go over how it works for your job at the estimate.

Do you work outside Hickory?

Yes. We pave across Catawba, Burke, Caldwell, Alexander, Iredell, and Lincoln counties, and we travel farther for larger projects, so ask even if your town is not listed.
