Asphalt Paving in Gibsonville, NC

Asphalt paving in Gibsonville runs across two very different kinds of property. The town sits almost evenly split between Guilford and Alamance counties, grew up around the North Carolina Railroad after the first train arrived in 1855, and built its brick downtown along the Depot Greens between 1905 and 1920. Main Street was paved in the early 1920s. Today Gibsonville is also one of the faster-growing towns in the area: the population went from 6,410 in 2010 to 8,920 in 2020, a jump of 46.6 percent.

Driveways on older streets

Around downtown and the old mill areas near Railroad Avenue and Eugene Street, homes date back to the mill era and the decades that followed. Driveways there are often short and narrow, sometimes shared, and squeezed between houses. Many are patched concrete or thin asphalt over old gravel. Replacing them means working carefully near foundations, sidewalks and old trees, and getting the slope right so water does not run toward the house.

Newer subdivisions

The recent growth means a lot of driveways that are less than fifteen years old. On those, the most common issues are cracking at the garage and apron, edges breaking off where the yard was never backfilled, and settling over utility trenches. Crack sealing, edge rebuilding and a sealcoat at the right time keep a young driveway in good shape. Where a builder's base was thin, we may recommend a targeted rebuild before sealing.

Small business and church lots

Gibsonville's downtown and the commercial edges toward Elon and Burlington include small lots for shops, offices and churches. These lots usually need patching, crack sealing, sealcoating and restriping more than full reconstruction. We work in sections so parking stays available.

Two counties, one town

Because the town line crosses into Alamance County, some addresses fall under different county services even within Gibsonville. Guilford County lists the Town of Gibsonville's own planning department as the contact for stormwater questions in town. For work that touches the street, we check whether the road is a town street or a state road, since NCDOT regulates connections to state-maintained roads.

Ground and drainage

Gibsonville sits at about 705 feet, a bit lower than Greensboro. The land is gently rolling, and the clay soils here hold water like the rest of the Piedmont. Low driveways at the bottom of a slope tend to collect runoff from the street and neighboring yards. We grade the base to move water off the surface and, where needed, add a small swale or curb to turn it aside.

Shared and alley driveways

In the older parts of Gibsonville, some homes share a driveway or reach their garage from a narrow lane behind the house. Shared driveways need both owners to agree on the scope and the split of cost. We can give a single written estimate that shows the shared section separately, so each owner can see what they are paying for.
