Top-rated paving and grading in Pickens, SC & the Upstate of South Carolina.
Moore Asphalt is a local paving and grading contractor based in Pickens, South Carolina. We work with homeowners, businesses, churches, and developers across Pickens County and the surrounding Upstate, handling everything from grading a single driveway to paving a complete commercial site.
Every project starts with the ground underneath it. Sloped lots and heavy summer storms are hard on pavement that isn’t built on a solid, well-drained base. That’s why we prepare the site first: grading so water drains away, building and compacting the base, and then laying asphalt that’s ready for years of traffic.
Customers rate Moore Asphalt 4.9 out of 5 across 40 Google reviews, and those reviews come back to the same things: a crew that starts early, works until the job is done, and stands behind its work. Whether you need a new driveway in Pickens, a parking lot in Easley, or site prep for a development in Greenville, you’ll get a straight answer about what your property needs.
Ground preparation and asphalt installation with one company, whether you need grading on its own or a complete new surface. Because the same crew prepares the site and lays the asphalt, the ground is built for the pavement that goes on top of it.
Driveways, commercial parking areas, and development roads. Paving services for homeowners, businesses, churches, and developers, with a plan matched to how your surface will actually be used.
Based in Pickens, SC and serving surrounding communities across the Upstate, from Easley and Clemson to Greenville, Anderson, and Seneca. Talk with Moore Asphalt about your site and what comes next.
Paving in the Upstate comes with its own challenges, and rain is the biggest one. Hills and sloped lots send runoff toward driveways and parking areas, heavy storms test every low spot, summer heat softens asphalt, and the occasional winter freeze finds any crack that water has reached.
That’s why Moore Asphalt treats grading and base work as the most important part of the job. A surface that drains well and sits on a properly compacted base holds up to Upstate weather and traffic for years. A surface laid on poorly prepared ground starts breaking down long before it should.

I’m very happy with the work they did on my driveway. After the initial paving, some cracks appeared, but the guys came back and took care of everything properly. It did take some patience and waiting, but in the end they did more than expected — they put an additional layer of asphalt over the entire driveway, and now it looks absolutely fantastic.
I really appreciate that they stood behind their work and made sure everything was done right. If you’re looking to have your driveway paved, I definitely recommend these guys. Great job!

Do you handle both residential and commercial paving?
Yes. We install driveways and residential paving for homeowners, and parking areas, access roads, and development paving for businesses, churches, and developers.
Can you turn a gravel driveway into asphalt?
Yes. Converting gravel to asphalt starts with grading and a compacted base so the new surface drains properly and stays smooth.
What affects the cost of a paving project?
The size of the area, the slope, the condition of the existing surface, how much grading and base work is needed, and site access all play a part. We’ll talk through those details when we look at your project.
Do you offer grading without paving?
Yes. We handle grading as a standalone project or as the first step of a new asphalt installation, for driveways, parking areas, and building sites.
Why does the base under asphalt matter so much?
The base carries the weight of everything that drives on the pavement. When it’s too thin, poorly compacted, or wet, the asphalt on top cracks, ruts, and breaks into potholes. Good grading and a solid base are what make pavement last.
