Paving in a Former Mining City
Asphalt paving in Linton works with a city shaped by mining. Linton was chartered in 1850. Small underground mines appeared in and around town in the late 1800s, surface mines took over in the 1920s, and mining remained the main employer into the 1980s. The population peaked at 6,315 in 1980 and was 5,133 in 2020. The Linton Commercial Historic District and the Linton Public Library are on the National Register.
Low, wet ground
At about 502 feet, Linton sits on low ground, and the Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area, a large wetland restoration, lies just south of the city. Low, wet soil is hard on pavement. We test the subgrade, remove soft material, and build a deeper compacted stone base where needed, with a surface sloped to shed water.
Older driveways
Many homes date from Linton's mining decades. Their driveways often have thin bases and multiple overlays. Where the whole surface has failed, we remove the old layers and rebuild. Where damage is limited, saw-cut patches and a sealcoat cost less.
Downtown lots
Businesses and churches in and near the commercial historic district often have small lots with failed spots at entrances and drains. We rebuild those areas, seal cracks, sealcoat and restripe to ADA standards, working around business hours.
Rural lanes
Outside the city, long gravel lanes run to farms and homes. We quote hot-mix asphalt and tar and chip on one sheet.
Permits
For work at city aprons and sidewalks, we check with the City of Linton. New or changed connections to state highways go through INDOT's driveway permit.
A typical scope
For an older driveway on low ground, a quote usually includes tear-out, digging out wet soil, a deeper compacted stone base and 2 to 3 inches of hot mix with a clear fall. For a downtown lot, it often includes full-depth patches at entrances and drains, crack sealing, sealcoat and restriping.
Maintenance
After paving, a first sealcoat after 3 to 6 months, crack sealing each fall and a sealcoat every few years.
Ground in mining country
Some ground around Linton has been worked by past surface mining. We test the subgrade at every visit and build the base to what we find.
Timing
Low ground dries later in spring, so we may schedule those properties later in the season.
Goose Pond visitors
The Goose Pond area draws hunters, anglers and birders. Properties that host visitors or rent parking can have a stone-based parking area surfaced with asphalt or chip seal, sized for occasional heavy use.
Small towns nearby
From Linton we also reach Dugger, Bloomfield and other Greene and Sullivan County communities.

Linton Questions
Does low ground near Goose Pond affect my driveway?
It can. Wet subsoil needs a deeper compacted stone base and good grading. We test before quoting.
Can you restripe a downtown lot?
Yes, to the 2010 ADA Standards, scheduled outside business hours.
Is an overlay enough for my old driveway?
Only if the base is firm. If it is cracked and sunken throughout, the old layers should come off and the base be rebuilt.
Do you serve rural Greene County?
Yes, including lanes around Linton and Stockton Township.
What does a new driveway cost?
HomeGuide's national range is $5 to $12 or more per square foot; a 600-square-foot driveway runs about $3,000 to $7,200. Your quote is the price.
Do you serve Bloomfield?
Yes. We work across Greene County and schedule nearby jobs together where we can.
Can you stripe accessible spaces correctly?
Yes. We count spaces and lay out accessible and van-accessible spaces with aisles per the 2010 ADA Standards.
