Lake and mountain driveways.
Homes near Keowee and Jocassee often sit on steep, wooded lots with long access drives. Getting the grade and drainage right is the difference between a driveway that lasts and one that washes out.
What we see
Common pavement problems in Oconee County.
Cracking
Water that gets under the surface and the Upstate’s swings between hot summers and occasional winter freezes open cracks that spread if they’re left alone.
Potholes and soft spots
When the base underneath is thin or wet, traffic pushes the asphalt down until it breaks through. It’s one of the most common failures on older drives and lots around Salem.
Washouts and edge damage
Runoff on sloped ground eats away at driveway edges and gravel shoulders, especially where the grading doesn’t send water anywhere useful.
Standing water
Low spots and flat areas hold water after a storm, softening the pavement and the ground below it. Proper grading keeps water moving off the surface.

4.9 from 40 Google reviews“Began early, worked until the job was done. How I now enjoy my front driveway. Smooooth!”
Lana Beckley · Google review
“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.”
