Paving in a Growing County Seat

Asphalt paving in Winder serves a city that has been adding residents quickly. Winder, incorporated in 1893 and once known as Jug Tavern, is the seat of Barrow County. Its population rose from 14,099 in 2010 to 18,338 in 2020, a 30.1 percent jump, and the 2020 census counted 6,964 housing units. Sitting about 20 miles west of Athens and 50 miles from downtown Atlanta, Winder draws commuters both ways.

New homes and settling fill

Fast growth means a lot of young driveways. On new lots, fill around the foundation and along the driveway is sometimes not compacted well, and it settles in the first few years. If your driveway has a dip or a crack near the garage, we cut out the area, correct the base and patch it. Sound new driveways benefit most from a first sealcoat once cured.

Older Winder homes

Closer to downtown and the 1920 Barrow County Courthouse, which is on the National Register, homes have driveways that have been through many decades. We evaluate them for repair, overlay or replacement and explain what we find.

Higher ground

At about 988 feet, Winder is one of the higher towns in the Athens area. Rolling lots mean runoff, so edges and slopes get attention on every job.

Commuter wear

Many Winder households have two or three vehicles heading to Athens, Gwinnett or Atlanta every day. Driveways with that much traffic wear faster at the apron and where cars turn in. If yours shows scuffing and raveling at the street end, a targeted repair and sealcoat may be all it needs.

Business and industrial sites

Industrial and distribution sites around Barrow County carry trucks that put heavy loads on pavement. Patching on those sites has to go deeper, and overlays need a sound base. We assess truck routes separately from car parking areas and price them accordingly.

Utility locates

Before any digging or grading, we request Georgia 811 locates. On older Winder lots, service lines often cross under driveways.

Business lots

Shops, offices, churches and industrial sites around Winder need lots that carry traffic and drain well. We pave, overlay, seal and stripe, with accessible spaces laid out to the 2010 ADA Standards.

Winder Questions

My new driveway cracked near the garage. Why?

Most likely the fill under it settled. We cut out the area, rebuild the base and patch it.

Do you pave in Barrow County outside Winder?

Yes, including Statham and rural areas of the county.

How soon should I seal a new driveway?

Wait three to six months after paving, then sealcoat every few years.

My driveway is raveling at the street. Is it failing?

Raveling at the apron is often surface wear from turning traffic. A repair and sealcoat may be enough if the base is firm.

Do you handle truck areas on commercial sites?

Yes. We build or repair truck routes with a heavier section than car parking areas.
