Asphalt Paving in Statham, GA

Asphalt paving in Statham is mostly residential work for a small city that keeps growing. Statham sits in eastern Barrow County about 13 miles west of Athens, and its population rose from 2,040 in 2000 to 2,408 in 2010 and 2,813 in 2020. The 2020 census counted 1,051 housing units. Many of those homes are in newer subdivisions; others are older houses close to the center of town.

Common projects

• New driveways for homes that came with gravel or a short builder apron
• Replacement of older driveways that have rutted or broken up
• Patching settled areas near garages on newer homes
• Crack sealing and sealcoating to protect sound driveways
• Small church and business lots

Ground conditions

Statham sits at about 892 feet on rolling Piedmont ground. Clay soils hold water after rain, so we proof the subgrade before paving and replace soft spots with compacted stone. On sloped lots, we keep runoff off the edges.

Named for a UGA official

Statham was named for Charles Statham, a University of Georgia official, and many residents still commute east to Athens. Because we work in Athens daily, scheduling a Statham job is straightforward.

A typical Statham driveway project

Most of the driveways we see in Statham are two-car width and run straight from the garage to the street. On a project like that, we remove the old surface or builder apron, check and compact the subgrade, place and compact the stone base, pave and roll the asphalt, and taper the joints at the garage and street. The whole job usually takes a few days, and you get a written note of when you can drive on it.

Extra parking

Growing households often want a parking pad beside the driveway for a third car, a boat or a work truck. A pad has to be built to the weight it will carry and tied into the existing driveway so the joint does not crack. If you have an HOA, check whether it requires approval before adding paved area.

Commuting distance

Because Statham is close to Athens, we can usually schedule estimates quickly.

Statham has its own city government, and Barrow County maintains roads outside town. We check who handles a driveway connection before any work at the road.
