Paving in Dasher

Asphalt paving in Dasher is mostly residential work on larger lots. Dasher began in 1889 as a station on the Georgia Southern and Florida Railway at the home of V. F. Dasher, and it was incorporated in 1968. It covers about 5 square miles, a notable share of it water, and had 890 residents in 2020. US 41 runs through town, 7 miles northwest to Valdosta and 6 miles southeast to Lake Park.

Spread-out lots

With fewer than 900 people across about five square miles, Dasher homes tend to sit on bigger lots with longer driveways. Many are gravel. Converting a long drive to asphalt is mostly a base and drainage job: regrade, add and compact stone where it has sunk into the sand, crown the surface and pave. We can phase long drives.

Wet ground

Wikipedia lists a meaningful part of Dasher's area as water, and the town sits at only about 180 feet. Low spots, wet ditches and areas near ponds are common. We look at each property for standing water and plan culverts and slopes so the drive does not act as a dam.

US 41 connections

Homes and businesses on US 41 connect to a state route, so driveway work in the right-of-way needs a GDOT permit through the district area office. Other roads go through the town or Lowndes County.

Choosing a width

A long rural drive does not need to be two cars wide for its whole length. A single lane of 10 to 12 feet with a wider parking area near the house often works well and saves a lot on a long run. At the highway, the entrance should be wide enough to turn in safely; GDOT describes a typical residential driveway at a state route as 14 to 16 feet wide.

Thickness for your traffic

If the drive carries only cars, a standard section works. Boat trailers, campers and delivery trucks need more base and more asphalt, and we size it to what actually uses the drive.

Locates and private lines

We request Georgia 811 locates and ask you about private water, septic and power lines before digging.
