Asphalt Paving in Graham, NC

Asphalt paving in Graham covers both a historic county seat and one of the faster-growing towns in the area. Graham was laid out in 1849 as the seat of the newly formed Alamance County, incorporated in 1851 and became a city in 1961. Its downtown and North Main Street historic districts hold homes from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. At the same time, the city grew from 14,153 in 2010 to 17,157 in 2020, and the 2025 estimate is above 20,000.

Older homes

Around the courthouse square and North Main Street, driveways are often narrow strips beside the house or short pads off an alley. Some were added long after the house was built. Many are worn, patched and poorly drained. We rebuild them with a proper stone base and a slope that moves water toward the street rather than the foundation.

New development

The newer neighborhoods have driveways that are mostly in their first fifteen years. Early maintenance pays off here: crack sealing before winter, rebuilding any edge that has started to crumble, and a sealcoat once the surface has cured and begun to fade.

The Haw River

The Haw River runs along Graham's east edge, and the city extends south to Alamance Creek. Lower lots near the river and the creek stay wet longer after storms. Driveways there need extra base and a clear drainage path, and we keep stone and sediment out of the waterways during work.

I-85 and business lots

Interstate 85 runs through the city toward Durham and Greensboro. Commercial lots near the interchanges and along the main roads take steady traffic and need patching, sealing and restriping. We work in sections and around business hours.

Lower ground

Graham's elevation is 594 feet, among the lowest in the Triad area, and the land drains toward the Haw. The red clay is the same as elsewhere in the Piedmont, but low ground stays wetter, so base depth matters.

Roads and permits

The City of Graham handles its own streets, and state routes fall under NCDOT for driveway connections. We check which applies before work near the street.

Historic district considerations

Graham's Historic District, North Main Street Historic District and the courthouse area hold many older homes. If your property sits in a district with design review, check with the city about any requirements before changing a driveway's footprint. We can provide a sketch and material description for that process.
