Asphalt Paving in Remerton, GA

Asphalt paving in Remerton is close-quarters work. Remerton is an enclave entirely surrounded by Valdosta, covering only about 0.2 square miles, and in 2020 it held 1,334 residents in 670 housing units. It began in 1899 as a company town for the Strickland Cotton Mill and was named for banker Remer Y. Lane. It incorporated in 1951 and was chartered as a city in 2000. Today it is best known as a place where Valdosta State students live.

Rental-heavy pavement

With so many rentals in such a small area, the typical Remerton job is a driveway or small lot that carries several cars a day and gets little routine maintenance. Common problems include potholes at the street, broken edges where cars park on the grass, oil-softened spots and faded striping in small apartment lots. We fix those with saw-cut patches, edge rebuilding, crack sealing and sealcoating, and we can quote a group of properties together.

Tight access

Mill-village streets and lots were not built for modern paving equipment. We plan staging, use smaller equipment where needed and coordinate with neighbors so cars are not blocked for long.

After the mill

The old mill changed hands several times after Strickland Cotton Mills closed in January 1979, and demolition began in June 2013. Some nearby properties have older pavement, fill and buried utilities from that era, so we request Georgia 811 locates and probe for soft areas before excavating.

Parking in a tight town

Remerton's small lots mean cars park close together, on edges and sometimes on the grass. Edges break where tires drop off. Widening a parking area slightly, with a properly built edge, often solves the problem for good. We check lot lines and any city rules before adding paved area.

Keeping costs predictable

For landlords with several properties, a simple maintenance plan works well: inspect each property every year or two, seal cracks before they widen, patch failures right away and sealcoat every few years. That avoids surprise replacements between leases.

Move-out timing

Student leases often turn over at the same time each year. That window, when lots and driveways are emptier, is a good time for repairs, sealcoating and restriping.

Who to call about the street

Remerton has its own city government even though it is surrounded by Valdosta. Work at the street goes through the City of Remerton, not Valdosta's Engineering Department, unless the street itself is a Valdosta or state road. We check before scheduling.
