Paving in and Around Hull

Asphalt paving in Hull covers one of the smallest towns in the area and the countryside around it. Hull, known as The Well City for the long-standing well at its center, was incorporated in 1905 and had 230 residents in 2020 on about a third of a square mile. It borders Clarke County to the southwest, and State Route 72 runs through the middle of town, six miles to central Athens and five miles to Colbert.

Driveways on SR 72

Because SR 72 is a state route, any driveway that connects to it falls under GDOT's driveway and encroachment rules. A permit is required before construction in the state right-of-way, and residential applications go through the district area office. If your project changes the connection, we plan for that permit. If the work stays on your side of the right-of-way, it may not be needed, and we explain the difference.

Two creeks, two directions

South Creek drains Hull to the north and Sulphur Spring Branch drains it to the south, both flowing to the South Fork of the Broad River. Depending on where your property sits, runoff may head in different directions, and wet-weather drainage paths often cross driveways. We plan crossings and edges so water does not undercut the pavement.

Planning around the town limits

Hull covers only about a third of a square mile, so many people with a Hull address actually live in unincorporated Madison County. The difference matters for anything at the road: city streets, county roads and SR 72 each have their own rules. We sort that out first.

Typical projects near Hull

Paving a gravel drive from the house to the road
Replacing a thin, cracked driveway on an older home
Rebuilding edges washed out by runoff
Sealcoating a driveway that is sound but faded
Small lots for churches and shops along SR 72

Cost expectations

Rural drives cost more because they are longer, not because the asphalt is different. HomeGuide lists new asphalt at about $5 to $12 or more per square foot nationally. We give you a written price for the whole drive and by section.

Country properties

Outside the town limits, homes are spread out with long gravel or dirt drives. We convert them to asphalt with a proper base, crown and edges, and can pave in phases.

Hull Questions

Do I need a GDOT permit for my driveway on SR 72?

Work in the state right-of-way requires one, applied for through the district area office. Work entirely on your property generally does not. We check which applies.

Do you come out for small Hull jobs?

Yes. Hull is just outside Athens.

Can you pave a dirt driveway?

Yes, after building a compacted stone base and setting drainage.

My address says Hull but I am outside town. Does that matter?

It can, for work at the road. We confirm whether the city, Madison County or GDOT maintains your road.
