Asphalt Paving in New Albany, OH

New Albany sits in the headwaters of the Rocky Fork, near Franklin County's high point of 1,132 feet, and asphalt paving here starts with how water moves off that high ground. Rose Run and Sugar Run flow through the city and Blacklick Creek crosses its east end, and the city itself sits at about 1,024 feet. Many homes are on large lots with long driveways, and the business parks on the edge of town keep adding new parking and access roads. We pave new driveways, resurface, repair, sealcoat, and pave and stripe commercial lots in New Albany.

Long driveways need a plan for water

A driveway that runs a few hundred feet from the road to the house collects a lot of rain along the way. If the pavement has no crown or cross slope, water runs straight down the middle, finds every crack and carries fine material out of the base. On long drives we shape the surface so water sheds to one or both sides, keep shoulders firm so the edge does not crumble, and look at where culverts or ditches at the road need to stay clear. Headwater streams like Rose Run and Sugar Run are small, but they rise fast in a hard storm.

Matching the look of the neighborhood

Many New Albany neighborhoods have strong design standards and active homeowners associations. Some specify edging, apron materials or how a driveway meets the street. Share those rules with us and we will build the estimate around them. We also check whether city approval is needed for work at the road or in the right-of-way before we schedule.

A growing commercial base

Facebook opened a data center in New Albany in 2020, and Google has broken ground on its own. In 2022 Intel announced a semiconductor plant on 926 acres approved for annexation into the city. With that much construction nearby, heavy trucks travel the local roads and many business lots and drives see more wear than they were built for. We repair damaged areas with full-depth patches, overlay worn lots, sealcoat and restripe, and we can phase work around shift changes and deliveries.

Timing your project

Asphalt is laid hot and needs dry, mild weather to compact properly, so most paving in central Ohio happens from spring through fall. Sealcoating needs warm, dry days too. If you are planning work for next season, call (614) 963-2681 early and we will walk the property with you.
