Tell us about your project. We'll come out, walk the site, and give you a clear quote — no obligation.
RC Grading offers asphalt paving as part of a complete driveway and site development package. We handle the full scope — subgrade preparation, proper base compaction, and asphalt installation — so your driveway is built right, not just paved over an inadequate base. Most paving problems start below the surface. A driveway that cracks, sinks, or develops potholes within a few years almost always has a base problem — poor compaction, bad drainage, or inadequate subgrade preparation. RC Grading approaches asphalt paving the same way we approach every grading job: the ground has to be right first.
We cut, shape, and compact the native soil to the correct grade and cross-slope before any base material goes down.
Proper crusher run or ABC stone base, compacted in lifts to provide a stable, load-bearing platform for the asphalt layer.
Hot-mix asphalt applied at the correct thickness and compacted to a smooth, durable surface that handles mountain terrain.
We design proper crown and edge drainage into every driveway — water management is essential for asphalt longevity.
Every job starts with a free on-site walk. We assess soil conditions, slope, drainage needs, and traffic load before quoting.
We walk your driveway, give you a clear written breakdown, and explain what's needed — no surprise costs after work begins.

Andy did a great job on resurfacing my gravel driveways and I would highly recommendPosted on Google Michael HofmannTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very reasonable price, did a great job!Posted on Google Barak and Kim SternbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Updating this review because we needed more work done on our property and I can’t do a second review. We chose RC Grading again and glad we did. Still 5 stars!! Once again they did an excellent job. They cleared more land around our house site, leveled out and graveled a spot for our camper and put another layer of gravel down on the driveway. They were efficient and communicated well while doing the project. We still highly recommend them! RC Grading & Hauling did our driveway which is 1/3 of a mile long this past summer. We were just now able to come and see it this December and they did an excellent job! They are very nice and care about their customer service. Get all the quotes you want but chose these guys, they will do the best job.Posted on Google Elliott BaileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted them on a Saturday afternoon about paving our steep, gravel driveway that had begun to wash away and addressing a crevice that had formed between the driveway and paved road. We connected again the following day, Sunday, and I sent multiple pics to Joe. Joe came out the following day, but we had left to drive back home. He called and we shared various options on how he could address the driveway. We agreed paving with asphalt would be best. He gave us the cost, we sent a deposit, and he said he'd work us in over the next couple of months since it was a smaller job. It is a vacation cabin for us and we weren't there, so that was OK. His team came out, did a nice job, sent pics, and left the property in such a way we couldn't tell they were there with the exception of the new driveway being in place. They had also roped it off to keep folks from driving on it. When we later arrived, about a month or so after it was paved, I blew off the leaves and noticed a crack in the pavement. I sent Joe pics and he and Charles came out the next day, examined it, explained what happened, and they already have it on the books for repair. I appreciate their attentiveness, responsiveness, and fairness. I would certainly use them again and highly recommend them to anyone who is considering a job that involves any type of paving.Posted on Google Eric RuthmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are great!! Friendly, thorough, and fair. Need I say more? Hire them. Cheers!Posted on Google Linda LydayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing company! They happily worked with us when we had to reschedule at the last minute. They were able to complete our project within our time line and it looks incredible. They are a family owned business and the quality of work and professionalism speaks for itself.

Note: My positioning has fallen it appears as you exit central ellijay area, Do you need to target locations like “tails creek” “Mountaintown” “new hope” “yukon” “white path” etc. ?
We walk the full driveway with you — assessing soil conditions, grade, drainage, and traffic load. We give you an honest recommendation on whether asphalt is right for your situation.
We cut, shape, and compact the existing ground to proper grade. Drainage is engineered in at this stage — crown, edge slopes, and any required culverts or French drains.
Crusher run or ABC stone base is installed and compacted in lifts until it meets density requirements. This is the most important step — the base determines how long the pavement lasts.
Hot-mix asphalt is placed and compacted to the specified thickness. We finish edges cleanly and walk the completed surface with you before we leave the job site.
