New Asphalt Construction

Ground-up asphalt construction for new parking lots, roads, and driveways across Metro Atlanta.

New asphalt construction is where doing it right from the ground up matters most, because everything you build later depends on the base you start with. Biran Paving Group handles new asphalt construction across Metro Atlanta for commercial developments, new parking lots, private roads, and residential driveways, managing the project from site prep through the finished, striped surface.

We handle excavation, grading, and sub-base preparation, build up the aggregate base to the proper depth, and place and compact hot-mix asphalt engineered for the loads and traffic the surface will carry. Drainage is designed in from the start so water moves off the pavement instead of into the base. Because our crews handle the full sequence, the layers tie together correctly and you get a surface built to last decades, not just to pass inspection.

For developers, builders, and property owners in Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Alpharetta, and across the Atlanta metro, we bring 15+ years of experience and 500+ completed projects to new construction. We are licensed and insured with a COI available on request, and we coordinate cleanly with general contractors and site schedules.

What’s included

  • Full scope: excavation, grading, base, paving, and striping
  • Engineered base depth and asphalt for the intended loads
  • Drainage designed in from the start
  • Clean coordination with GCs and site schedules
  • Licensed, insured, COI available on request

Why it matters

New asphalt construction is where doing it right from the ground up matters most, because every repair, sealcoat, and resurfacing you will ever pay for depends on the base poured underneath on day one. A surface built on a properly graded, compacted base with drainage engineered in will carry traffic for decades; a surface laid over a rushed base will crack, rut, and pond water within a few years no matter how good the asphalt on top looks the day the crew leaves. Biran Paving Group handles ground-up asphalt construction across Metro Atlanta for commercial developments, new parking lots, private roads, and residential driveways, managing the work from site prep through the finished, striped surface. Because our own crews handle the full sequence, the layers tie together correctly and nobody is paving over someone else's shortcut. We excavate and grade the site, build up the aggregate base to the proper depth, and place and compact hot-mix asphalt engineered for the loads and traffic the surface will carry, whether that is a light-duty residential driveway or a parking lot that takes daily delivery-truck weight. Drainage is designed in from the start so water moves off the pavement and toward inlets instead of soaking into the base, which is the single biggest reason asphalt fails early in Georgia's climate of heavy rain, humidity, and seasonal freeze-thaw. For developers, builders, and property owners across Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Alpharetta, and the wider Atlanta metro, we bring 15+ years of experience and 500+ completed projects to new construction, coordinate cleanly with general contractors and site schedules, and are licensed and insured with a certificate of insurance available on request.

What drives the cost

  • Total square footage and the shape and complexity of the site
  • Amount of excavation, clearing, and earthwork required to reach a stable subgrade
  • Soil conditions, including how Georgia's clay subgrade behaves and whether it needs to be stabilized
  • Aggregate base depth specified for the intended traffic loads
  • Asphalt thickness and number of lifts (light-duty residential versus heavy commercial and truck routes)
  • Drainage and grading scope: inlets, slopes, and how water is routed off the pavement
  • Site access and how easily trucks and equipment can stage and reach the work area
  • Finishing work such as curbing, line striping, ADA layout, and pavement markings
  • Coordination and phasing with a general contractor's overall site schedule

Our process

  1. Site Assessment & Planning. We start by understanding the site, the soil, and the intended use. Will this surface carry passenger cars, daily delivery trucks, or heavy equipment? Where does water need to go? We assess the subgrade, review the grading and drainage requirements, and plan base depth and asphalt thickness around the loads the finished surface will actually see, rather than a one-size-fits-all spec.
  2. Excavation & Grading. We clear and excavate the area, then grade the subgrade to establish the slopes that move water off the pavement and toward drainage. In Metro Atlanta's clay soils this stage is critical, because an unstable or poorly drained subgrade undermines everything built on top of it. Where the soil is weak, we stabilize it so the base has something solid to sit on.
  3. Aggregate Base Construction. We build up the aggregate base to the depth the project requires and compact it thoroughly in lifts. The base is the structural backbone of the pavement: it spreads traffic loads and protects the subgrade. We do not shortcut this step, because a thin or poorly compacted base is the root cause of most early asphalt failure, and no amount of quality surface asphalt can make up for it.
  4. Asphalt Paving & Compaction. We place hot-mix asphalt at the proper thickness, in one or more lifts depending on the design, and compact each lift while it is at the correct temperature to lock in density. Drainage slopes established during grading are carried through to the finished surface so water sheds cleanly. The result is a smooth, uniform surface engineered to carry its intended loads for the long term.
  5. Striping, Final Grade Check & Handoff. We complete the surface with line striping and pavement markings, including ADA-compliant stalls, fire lanes, and directional markings on commercial lots. We verify the finished grade drains correctly, walk the project with you or the general contractor, and provide clear guidance on cure times before the surface is opened to full traffic. We coordinate the handoff cleanly so it fits the rest of the site schedule.

New Asphalt Construction FAQs

Because the base, not the asphalt, is what carries the load. The asphalt surface is the wearing layer, but the compacted aggregate base beneath it spreads traffic weight and protects the soil subgrade. If the base is too thin, poorly compacted, or sitting on unstable ground, the pavement will crack, rut, and fail early no matter how good the asphalt on top is. This is especially true in Metro Atlanta, where clay subgrade and heavy rain punish weak bases. We build the base to the proper depth for your loads and compact it thoroughly, because that is where pavement longevity is won or lost.
Georgia's red clay holds water and moves with moisture, and the region's heavy rain, humidity, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles all work against pavement. That is why drainage and base preparation matter even more here than in drier climates. We grade the subgrade so water sheds off the surface and away from the base, stabilize weak soil where needed, and engineer base depth and asphalt thickness around those conditions. Building with Georgia's climate in mind from day one is what produces a surface that lasts decades instead of failing in a handful of years.
Yes. On new developments we routinely work as part of a larger site team, coordinating our excavation, base, and paving sequence with the general contractor's overall schedule so we are not holding up other trades and they are not compromising our work. We are licensed and insured with a certificate of insurance available on request, which makes us straightforward to add to a project, and our crews handle the full asphalt scope in-house so the base, paving, and finish all tie together correctly.
You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24 to 72 hours, but it continues to cure and harden for several months as the oils in the mix oxidize. During the first few weeks, especially in Atlanta's summer heat, the surface stays soft and can scuff, dent, or mark from sharp turns and stationary heavy loads. We give you specific guidance on traffic timing at handoff, since the right window depends on temperature, thickness, and weather, and we time the opening of new construction to protect the investment you just made.
