Rockmart, a Polk County town of 4,732 people at the 2020 census, has many older homes. The median Rockmart home was built in 1958, and about five in six homes are detached houses. At a house that old, the driveway may be cracked or crumbling at the edges. Past the city limits, a long gravel drive may lead back to a house or a farm.
Georgia Asphalt Pros does asphalt paving in Rockmart, GA, for homes and businesses in town and out in the county. We come down from Cartersville on GA 113, the Rockmart Highway, about 19 road miles and half an hour. In and around Rockmart, that means asphalt driveways, private roads and parking lots, plus resurfacing, repair and sealcoating. Call or text (706) 844-2123 to have us come out, look at the site and give you an estimate.

In the 1870s, a rail line came over from Bartow County, and Rockmart grew up around its depot. The town was incorporated in 1872 and first called Rock Market, for the slate in the area. Many buildings here are built of slate and brick from local mines and brickyards. The Rockmart Downtown Historic District is on the National Register of Historic Places.
On an older lot near downtown, the drive may be narrow and tight to the house. Where it meets the garage, the walk and the street, we keep the new asphalt flush. When owners on a street of older homes plan the work together, we can pave several driveways at once.
About three in five occupied homes in Rockmart are lived in by their owners. If you own one of the older houses, the drive may need repair, resurfacing or a full replacement.
Asphalt resurfacing lays fresh hot mix over a drive whose base still holds. For a pothole or an edge that has washed out, asphalt repair may be all it takes. If the base has failed across the drive, the old pavement comes out and a new stone base goes in.
US 278 runs as a northern bypass around Rockmart, and GA 101 and GA 113 share it. That stretch is Nathan Dean Parkway. Beginning in the mid-1990s, new restaurants and retail shopping came to Rockmart as home building picked up.
In Rockmart, parking lot paving can mean a new lot or the rebuild of a worn one. A lot that has run out of room can be expanded. The lanes where trucks run get a heavier section than the parking stalls. If customers still need to get in, we plan the work in phases with you.
Once a lot is paved or sealed, parking lot striping marks the stalls, arrows and fire lanes. The accessible spaces and their access aisles are striped per the 2010 ADA Standards. A faded lot with a sound surface may only need sealcoating and fresh lines.
Van Wert, an unincorporated Polk County community, lies about a mile south of the depot Rockmart grew up around. Rockmart High School also serves Aragon, a Polk County town incorporated in 1914. Taylorsville reaches into Bartow County, and Braswell lies mostly in Paulding County. GA 101 and GA 113 lead southeast about 8 miles to Yorkville, in Paulding County.
We pave gravel drives of 1,000 feet and more, and farm drives that run between pasture fences. Paving over gravel means no more mud, no more dust. A parking pad or a turnaround by the house can go in while the paver is there.
On a long rural drive, we grade first so rain drains away. If water has to cross the drive, a drain pipe can go under it. Polk County's natural resources include clay, iron shale, limestone, slate and timber. Whatever ground your drive crosses, the stone base goes down in layers and is compacted before any hot mix.
Tar and chip paving, also called chip seal, is the other surface to consider for a drive that long. Stone chips are spread and rolled into liquid asphalt sprayed over a prepared base. Private roads and shared drives that serve several homes fall under road paving.
The answer turns on who owns the road your drive meets. US 278, GA 101 and GA 113 are all state routes, including where they share Nathan Dean Parkway. Before any construction work inside a state highway right-of-way, Georgia DOT requires a permit, and a driveway tie-in counts.
Along a straight stretch of highway, GDOT's rules have the drive slope downward, away from the pavement edge. GDOT treats a shared drive off a state route that serves more than four homes as a commercial driveway.
For a drive onto a city street, ask the City of Rockmart's Public Works Department. That department oversees the city's streets and its water and sewer lines. If the drive meets a county road, ask Polk County, or Paulding County on that side, before the work starts. In every case, the driveway rules of whoever owns the road apply, and we build to them.
