Asphalt Paving in Oglethorpe, GA

Asphalt paving in Oglethorpe serves the seat of Macon County, a small city with a long history. Oglethorpe was founded in 1838, incorporated as a town in 1849 and as a city in 1852, and became county seat when the seat moved from Lanier in 1857. It is named for James Oglethorpe, who established the Georgia colony. In 2020 it had 995 residents, down from 1,328 in 2010.

High ground by the river

Oglethorpe sits on high ground west of the Flint River, which separates it from Montezuma. Higher lots drain better than the river bottoms, but slopes toward the river carry runoff that can erode driveway edges. We set slopes and support edges accordingly.

Older homes and a shrinking town

With the population falling a quarter in a decade, many homes are older and some sit empty. Owners fixing them up for sale or rent usually need repairs, crack filling and a sealcoat rather than full replacement, unless the base has failed.

Highways

SR 49 (Chatham Street) runs through the center toward Montezuma, Marshallville and Americus; SR 90 runs to Rupert and Vienna; and SR 26 (Riverview Drive) passes the south side toward Hawkinsville. Driveway connections to these state routes need a GDOT permit for work in the right-of-way.

Courthouse-area lots

County offices, churches and businesses near the center have small lots that need periodic patching, sealing and striping.

Rural Macon County

Farms and homes outside town have long gravel drives. We convert them with a compacted base, crowned surface and supported edges, and check pipes at the road.

Locates

Utility marking through Georgia 811 comes first, and we ask about private wells and septic on rural properties.
