Asphalt Paving in Reidsville, NC

Asphalt paving in Reidsville mostly involves older homes. The city grew on tobacco, with the American Tobacco Company as its economic mainstay until 1994, and on textile mills that later consolidated under Cone Mills and Burlington Industries. The population reached 14,267 in 1960, dipped through the 1970s and 1980s, and was 14,583 in 2020. That means a large share of homes, and the driveways serving them, are decades old.

Winters a little colder

Reidsville's 1991 to 2020 normals show about 7.3 inches of snow a year, a record low of minus 9 degrees in January 1985 and about 47.8 inches of precipitation. Older driveways with open cracks let that water in, and each freeze widens the crack. Crack sealing before winter and keeping the surface sealed are the cheapest ways to slow that down.

Rebuilding older driveways

On a driveway that is decades old, the question is whether the base is still good. Firm surfaces with surface cracking can often take an overlay with rebuilt edges. Driveways with spiderweb cracking, sunken spots or edges breaking off need the old material removed and the base rebuilt. We probe and dig a few test spots to tell which you have.

Vacant homes and investment properties

Reidsville's 2020 housing count was 7,280 units, with 11.8 percent vacant. For owners fixing up a house to rent or sell, a clean driveway is one of the quickest ways to improve curb appeal. A full replacement on a short driveway is often affordable, and a sealcoat on a sound one costs much less.

Downtown and commercial

The Reidsville Downtown Corporation formed in 1976 to revitalize a downtown that had declined, and the city won an All-America City Award in 2008. Downtown and commercial lots need patching, sealing and restriping, done in sections to keep businesses open.

Creeks and drainage

Little Troublesome Creek, Wolf Island Creek and Hogan's Creek run through the area. Lots near those creeks stay wetter after storms, and driveways there need a deeper stone base and a clear path for water to leave the surface.

Roads and permits

City streets fall under Reidsville, and state routes under NCDOT for driveway connections. We check before any work in the right-of-way.

Chinqua-Penn and country properties

Outside town, Rockingham County's rolling countryside, including the area around Chinqua-Penn Plantation, has many long rural drives. We price hot-mix, compacted millings and gravel for those, and plan ditches and culverts so the drive drains properly. State roads there fall under NCDOT for driveway connections.
