Asphalt Paving in Gray, GA

Asphalt paving in Gray serves the seat of Jones County, north of Macon. Gray was founded in 1851, named for cotton planter James M. Gray, incorporated as a town in 1911, and became the county seat in 1905. In 2020 it had 3,436 residents and 1,420 housing units, with a homeowner vacancy rate of just 0.5 percent. US 129 runs through the center of town.

Rolling ground north of the Fall Line

At about 600 feet, Gray sits above the Fall Line, on the rolling Piedmont ground that starts north of Macon. That means more sloped driveways than in Warner Robins. Runoff on a slope erodes the edges and can carry base material away. We set cross slope, support edges and plan where water goes.

Owners who stay

With so few vacant homes, most Gray driveways belong to long-term owners. That makes maintenance worthwhile: crack filling and sealcoating every few years, and timely repairs when an area fails.

Rural Jones County

Outside town, homes on acreage have long gravel drives. We convert them to asphalt with a compacted base and crowned surface, and check the pipe at the road.

Permits

US 129 is a state route; driveway connections need a GDOT permit. City streets go through Gray and county roads through Jones County.
