Asphalt Paving in Lakeland, GA

Asphalt paving in Lakeland serves the seat of Lanier County. The community began as Alapaha in the 1830s, became Milltown in 1857 and took the name Lakeland for nearby Grand Bay Lake, Lake Irma and Banks Lake. Lanier County was formed in 1919 with Milltown as its seat, and the city was incorporated as Lakeland in 1928. The early mill site lies in what is now Banks Lake National Wildlife Refuge. In 2020 the city had 2,875 residents and 1,211 housing units.

Building near lakes and bays

Land around Lakeland includes lakes, bays and low, wet ground. A driveway on damp soil needs a firmer, thicker base and a slope that keeps water moving. We remove soft material, compact well and raise the grade slightly where needed.

Older homes

Many homes in town are older, and the 2020 census found about 16 percent of housing units vacant. Owners fixing up houses to sell or rent often need driveway repairs and a sealcoat. We prioritize what matters most for the budget.

Rural drives

Outside town, gravel and sand drives are common. We convert them to asphalt with a compacted base and crowned surface.

Weekend and lake properties

Some properties near Banks Lake are second homes or fishing retreats. If you are not on site often, we can coordinate by phone and photos after the first visit and send pictures of the finished work.

Locates

Before any excavation we file a Georgia 811 ticket and ask about private wells and septic before digging.

Close to Moody

Lakeland is on the east side of Moody Air Force Base, part of which reaches into Lanier County, and some base families live here.
