Asphalt Paving in Whitehall, OH

Whitehall grew almost all at once, and asphalt paving here deals with what that boom left behind. Founded in 1947, it went from 4,377 residents in 1950 to 20,818 in 1960, becoming a city during the 1950s. In the 1940s and 1950s the area still had working farms and mainly small houses. Today Whitehall is an enclave of Columbus about 6 miles east of downtown, close to John Glenn Columbus International Airport, with 8,479 housing units counted in 2020. We replace and resurface driveways, patch and seal asphalt, and pave and stripe commercial lots across Whitehall.

Driveways from the 1950s boom

Homes built in a single fast decade tend to have similar driveways: short, single-width, often poured over a thin base and patched many times since. After roughly seventy years, many of these drives are a patchwork of old asphalt, patches and cracked edges. When the base is gone, the fix is a full replacement: remove the old surface, dig to firm soil, place and compact a new stone base and repave. This is also the right time to widen a narrow drive if the lot and city rules allow it.

Where shopping centers began

Wikipedia notes that Casto's Town and Country, opened in Whitehall in 1948, was the first shopping center strip in the country. Commercial lots are still a big part of the city, and many are large, heavily used and old. They need regular pothole repair, full-depth patches where the base has failed, mill-and-overlay for worn surfaces, sealcoating and clear striping. We schedule in phases so stores can stay open and customers can still park.

Big Walnut Creek

In 1952 the city's borders expanded east to the country club and Big Walnut Creek, which flows through Whitehall. Lots on lower ground near the creek can hold moisture under the pavement, which weakens the base and leads to sagging and spiderweb cracking. We check drainage on every job and build a deeper, well-compacted base where the soil calls for it.

Redevelopment and rentals

In 2016 the city bought mid-century apartments for the Norton Crossing redevelopment, part of a wider effort to renew older properties. Landlords and property managers here often need parking areas patched, sealed and restriped between tenants. We can work on rental lots in sections and give clear notice for residents to move cars.
