Asphalt Paving in Greencastle, IN

Asphalt paving in Greencastle serves a historic college town. Ephraim Dukes founded the settlement in 1821, and Greencastle became the Putnam County seat, a town in 1849 and a city in 1861. DePauw University, founded in 1837 as Indiana Asbury University, has about 2,400 students. The city had 9,820 residents in 2020 and sits near I-70, about halfway between Terre Haute and Indianapolis, at about 837 feet.

Historic neighborhoods

In 2011, three of Greencastle's historic neighborhoods, Old Greencastle, the Eastern Enlargement and the Northwood Neighborhood, were added to the National Register, and the Courthouse Square Historic District is listed as well. Homes there often have narrow driveways, alley garages and mature trees. We remove old overlays where they have built up, rebuild the base and pave at the right height, using equipment sized for tight lots.

Rentals near campus

Rental houses and small lots near DePauw see heavy use and turnover. We schedule patching, sealing and striping around the academic calendar and can handle several properties in one trip.

Higher ground

Greencastle sits higher than the Wabash Valley, but upland soils across west-central Indiana still carry a seasonal water table in late winter and spring. A firm stone base and a surface that sheds water remain the keys to long life.

Commercial lots

Businesses near the square and along the roads to I-70 need lots that drain and stay striped. We scope by area, heavier where trucks go, and phase work so you stay open.

Permits

For work at city aprons and sidewalks, we check with the City of Greencastle. New or changed connections to state or US highways go through INDOT's driveway permit.

A typical scope

For a historic-neighborhood driveway, the quote usually includes removing old overlay layers, digging out soft soil, rebuilding the base and paving at a height that meets the garage and alley. For a rental lot, it is often patching, crack sealing, sealcoat and restriping, scheduled over a break.

Maintenance

After paving, a first sealcoat after 3 to 6 months, crack sealing each fall and a sealcoat every few years keep a driveway or lot in shape.

Trees

Old trees in the historic neighborhoods add character but can lift pavement. We plan edges to limit root cutting and tell you if roots have already raised a section.

Timing

We pave late spring through early fall and seal in dry weather between roughly 50 and 95 degrees.

Near I-70

Greencastle's position near I-70 brings travelers and freight through town. Businesses on the roads between the interstate and downtown need lots built for trucks at the entrances and drive lanes, with lighter pavement in the stalls.

Rental turnover

For landlords with several properties, we quote each one and schedule them together during campus breaks.
