Paving in a Growing County Seat
Asphalt paving in Perry keeps up with one of Middle Georgia's fastest-growing cities. Perry, the Houston County seat, grew from 13,839 residents in 2010 to 20,624 in 2020, a 49 percent increase, and the census counted 8,170 housing units. The city was founded in 1823 as Wattsville, renamed for Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry and incorporated on December 9, 1824. Its original limits were a circle one mile across, bounded on the north by Big Indian Creek.
New subdivisions
Much of Perry's growth is new housing. New driveways benefit most from a first sealcoat after curing, crack filling as needed and quick repair of any area where fill has settled. If a builder left a short apron or gravel drive, we pave the full length on a compacted base.
Older Perry
Near downtown and the courthouse, older homes have driveways that may need base repair or replacement. The New Perry Hotel, built in 1870 and rebuilt in 1925, was demolished on July 22, 2024, a reminder of how much downtown is changing. We help owners of older homes decide whether an overlay can work or whether rebuilding is needed.
Fairgrounds and events
The Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter, opened in 1990, hosts the 11-day Georgia National Fair each October. Businesses that serve fair traffic often want lots patched, sealed and striped beforehand; call by late summer to allow time for curing.
Pipes and county rules
On Houston County roads outside city limits, the county's regulations require a permit for driveway work in the right-of-way, set the pipe type and size at the first inspection and require the apron to slope down and away from the road.
Locates
Utility marking through Georgia 811 comes first; new subdivisions have utilities running close to driveways.
Highways
I-75 was built through the west side of Perry in the early 1960s, and US 41 and US 341 run through the city. Driveway connections to US routes need a GDOT permit; county roads follow Houston County's driveway regulations; city streets go through the City of Perry.
