Asphalt Paving in Kathleen, GA

Asphalt paving in Kathleen serves one of the newest parts of Houston County. Kathleen is an unincorporated community in the Warner Robins metro area, at about 330 feet, with a population Wikipedia describes as roughly 11,500. New schools, including Mossy Creek Middle School, have opened to serve families moving in. Much of the housing is recent, and so are the driveways.

Protecting new driveways

The first years matter. A sealcoat three to six months after paving, crack filling as cracks appear and quick repair of any settled area near a garage or walk keep a new driveway in good shape for much longer.

County rules

Kathleen is unincorporated, so driveways on county roads follow Houston County's Regulations for Access Management and Encroachment Control. Any work in the county right-of-way requires a permit, including widening or relocating an existing residential driveway. Residential driveways may be up to 24 feet wide for two-way traffic, the apron must slope down and away from the road, and the county sets and inspects any driveway pipe. HOAs in many subdivisions add their own rules about driveway changes.

Extra parking

Growing families often want a parking pad or a wider driveway. Widening at the road falls under the county permit; widening on your lot may need HOA approval. We provide a written scope for either.

The apron and the gutter

Where a driveway meets a curbed county street, Houston County's rules do not allow filling the gutter to smooth the transition. We shape the apron so it meets the road properly without blocking drainage.

Locates

Utility marking through Georgia 811 comes first; new neighborhoods have utilities close to driveways.
