Asphalt Paving in Comer, GA

Asphalt paving in Comer serves the largest city in Madison County by population and land area. Comer was incorporated on January 1, 1893, and named for founding settler James Thomas Comer Sr. Its population grew from 1,126 in 2010 to 1,512 in 2020, a 34.3 percent increase, and the census counted 559 housing units. The Comer Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In-town driveways

Homes near the historic center often have older driveways that were paved over gravel without much base. We judge whether a resurfacing overlay can work or whether the driveway needs to come out. Where homeowners want to keep a period look, we can keep driveways narrow and edges neat.

Country lanes

Comer sits in the Broad River sub-basin of the Savannah River basin, and much of the land around it is farms and woods with long private lanes. Paving a lane means planning the crown, edges and any creek or ditch crossings for the whole length. Where farm trucks or equipment travel, we build a heavier section.

New homes

With the town growing by a third in a decade, new homes need new driveways. We pave from the house to the road on a compacted stone base and set drainage so the new surface does not wash out.

Equipment and farm use

Around Comer, driveways often carry more than cars: hay trucks, trailers, tractors and delivery vehicles for farms and rural businesses. Those loads need more stone base and thicker asphalt than a standard residential driveway. HomeGuide describes heavier sections as 3 to 4 inches of asphalt over 8 to 10 inches of base. We size the section to what will actually travel the drive and write it into the quote.

Small town, small jobs

We also handle small work in town: a pothole at a church entrance, a cracked apron, a faded handicap stall. Small jobs can be grouped into one visit to keep the minimum charge reasonable.

Locates first

Rural properties often have private water lines, buried electric to barns and propane lines. Georgia 811 locates public utilities; we ask you to point out private lines before we dig.

Permits

The City of Comer, Madison County and GDOT each maintain roads in the area. Driveways on state routes need a GDOT permit; we sort out which applies before any work at the road.
