Douglasville is the Douglas County seat and the county's largest city, with 34,650 people at the 2020 census. It got its start in 1874, as the railroad was built through the area. The city sits about 1,200 feet up, west of Atlanta on I-20. The interstate serves it at exits 34, 36 and 37. Paving work here includes subdivision driveways, apartment lots and the retail lots on the south side of town.

The median home in Douglasville was built in 2001. Nearly three in five homes in town are detached houses. Across Douglas County, the median home was built in 1996, and about three in four homes are detached houses. About two in three occupied homes in the county are lived in by their owners.
If your drive went in with the house, it may be cracked or crumbling at the edges by now. Sealcoating is upkeep for a drive that is still sound. Before the sealer goes on, the pavement is cleaned, cracks are filled and oil spots are treated.
For a pothole, a washed-out edge or a utility cut, asphalt repair may be enough. We cut out the failed area, rebuild the base where it failed and patch it with hot mix. When patching is no longer money well spent, we tell you.
If the surface is worn but the base still holds, asphalt resurfacing lays new hot mix over it. We level the low spots first and keep the new asphalt flush at the garage, the walk and the street. If the old drive has failed down to the base, we take it out and build it new.
A major business area sits on the south side of town, around the Douglas Boulevard corridor. It lies between Chapel Hill Road and GA 5. Arbor Place Mall is there, along with many major retail stores. The Fairburn Road area, along GA 92, also has many shops and food stores.
US 78 runs east to west through downtown, and GA 5 shares the road there. Heading west, GA 5 splits off just past Hunter Park, the city's largest park, and runs southwest through Bill Arp. GA 92 runs just east of downtown as a truck route. The historic downtown has many shops and eateries.
For a retail or office lot, the work can be a new lot, a rebuild or an expansion. A new layout follows the owner's site plan, and we pave to it. Where delivery trucks run, we build a heavier section than where cars park. If the business has to stay open, we plan the work in phases with you.
About half of the occupied homes in Douglasville are rented. Apartment and rental communities have their own parking lots to keep up. A sound lot with faded lines may only need patching, sealcoating and fresh striping. Parking lot striping marks the stalls, arrows, crosswalks and fire lanes, plus accessible spaces per the 2010 ADA Standards.
It depends on who owns the road. US 78, GA 5 and GA 92 are state highways, so Georgia DOT sets the rules there. GDOT requires a permit before any construction work in its right-of-way, even to widen or move an existing drive.
GDOT takes the permit application only from the property owner. Work under the permit must begin no later than 90 days after approval.
Inside the city limits, a drive onto a city street goes through the City of Douglasville. Its Public Services department issues the Driveway Permit and right-of-way permits. A road cut in the city right-of-way takes its own permit. For bigger site work, the city's Engineering Department issues land disturbance permits.
At the 2020 census, most of Douglas County's 144,237 people lived outside the Douglasville city limits. For a home on a county road, the Douglas County Department of Transportation, known as DC-DOT, handles the driveway permit. The property owner fills out its Residential Driveway Permit Request, with a copy of the property survey. DC-DOT inspects the finished drive before a certificate of occupancy is issued.
Whoever owns the road, its driveway rules apply, and we build to them. Ask the road owner before the work starts.
DC-DOT's permit has rules for water, too. Existing storm water has to follow its natural drainage path. Grading on your lot cannot divert water onto the county right-of-way. If the driveway inspection calls for a pipe, DC-DOT asks for corrugated metal pipe 18 inches or larger.
Before any hot mix goes down, we grade the site so water drains away from the drive. Where the site needs one, a drain pipe goes under it. The stone base goes down in layers and is compacted before our LeeBoy paver lays the hot mix.
Off a paved county road, the drive has to be asphalt or concrete. The improved surface has to run from the edge of the road to the right-of-way line. Off a gravel county road, DC-DOT recommends asphalt or concrete but allows gravel. We pave the drive out to the road and tie it in flush.
DC-DOT suggests a turnaround pad on private property, so no one has to back into the road. A drive onto a major or minor arterial must have one, and the pad cannot go in the county right-of-way. The county's development code asks the same of parking lots and drives, with an exemption for some single-family lots. We pave turnarounds and parking pads at the house as part of a driveway job.
