Hiring driveways contractors in Georgia

Driveway contractors build the surface between the road and the house, from a gravel farm lane to a poured concrete approach, and the base under the surface decides how long any of them last. A typical driveway is excavated to remove topsoil, graded with a crown or cross slope so water runs off, and built up with four to eight inches of compacted crushed stone before the top layer goes on. Where the driveway crosses a roadside ditch it needs a culvert sized by the county, and the connection to a public road is regulated by the road authority. Gravel is the least expensive and needs regrading every year or two; asphalt costs more and needs sealing; concrete costs the most up front and lasts longest if the base and joints are done right.

What driveways work costs

Gravel driveways typically run $1 to $3 per square foot, so a 12 by 100 foot lane costs roughly $1,500 to $4,000. Asphalt commonly lands at $4 to $10 per square foot and concrete at $6 to $14, putting a two-car residential driveway in the $4,000 to $12,000 range. Culverts add $1,500 to $5,000 depending on pipe size and length.

Ranges are national and approximate; regional labor rates, material prices and site conditions move them in both directions.

Send the length and width, the surface you want, where water pools now, the vehicles that will use it, and any road, gate or overhead constraints the crew should know about.

What can change the cost of driveways work in Georgia?

A site visit helps the crew see which ones apply.

Do driveways projects in Georgia need permits?

A new or relocated connection to a public road almost always requires a driveway or access permit from the county, city or state DOT, which sets the culvert size, apron material and sight distance. Some HOAs and municipalities also regulate width, surface material and how much of the lot can be paved.
