Paving Where the Piedmont Meets the Plain

Asphalt paving in Macon covers two kinds of ground in one county. Macon sits near the Fall Line of the Ocmulgee River, where the hills of the Piedmont meet the flat Coastal Plain, so the north side of the city is rolling hills and the south side is flat. Macon and Bibb County consolidated their governments on January 1, 2014, after a 2012 referendum, and the consolidated city-county had 157,346 residents in 2020.

North side: slopes and runoff

On hillier lots, driveways carry runoff downhill, and the low edge is where failures start. We set cross slope, support edges and plan where water goes. Steep sections need careful compaction so the mat stays dense.

South side: flat lots and ponding

On flat ground, the problem is the opposite: water with nowhere to go. We set a consistent fall so the surface drains and avoid low spots that hold water.

Rain

Macon averages about 47 inches of precipitation a year, and its wettest day on record was July 5, 1994, with 10.25 inches; that month brought 18.16 inches. Storms like that test every driveway's drainage. Average July highs are about 93.5 degrees, so heat matters too.

Older neighborhoods

Macon's historic in-town neighborhoods have narrow driveways, alleys and older pavement. Access can be tight, and transitions to old walks and steps need care. For homes in historic districts, check whether visible changes need review before scheduling.

Commercial lots

With I-75, I-16 and I-475 all serving Macon, there are many commercial and industrial lots. We pave, overlay, patch, seal and stripe, phased to keep you open.

Locates

Utility marking through Georgia 811 comes first; older Macon neighborhoods have service lines in unexpected places.
