Tybee Island's beach cottages and small lots sit on sand and marsh, where salt air, standing water, and the shallow water table do more damage to asphalt than freeze-thaw ever could. Your driveway takes a beating from afternoon thunderstorms, humidity, and the daily salt spray, and a poorly pitched or improperly drained surface fails fast here.
Savannah Asphalt Paving has served Tybee Island and the surrounding Savannah area since 2015. We know the soil under your driveway, the drainage challenges that come with marsh proximity, and how to build a surface that sheds water and holds up to the coastal climate. When your driveway rutts, cracks, or fails to drain, we show up with honest advice on whether to repair, resurface, or replace, and we price the work fairly.
Asphalt Paving in Tybee Island (31328)
Tybee Island's residential driveways face unique pressures. Most lots are small and narrow, with tight access for equipment and limited room for a full-size paver and roller. The subgrade is fine sand over a shallow water table, which drains quickly at the surface but turns soft the moment summer rain raises the water level or standing water pools near the marsh. Live oak roots crack older driveways, and the near-daily afternoon thunderstorms of June through September, plus hurricane season from June through November, push water down steep drives and across poorly pitched surfaces, washing out edges and opening cracks where the base was never compacted properly.
We build driveways and repair existing ones with the understanding that pitch and drainage matter more here than anywhere else. A properly compacted aggregate base, pitched to shed water fast, and hot mix asphalt laid thick enough to handle salt and moisture is what actually holds up on Tybee Island sand. We have served homeowners and property managers across Tybee Island and the greater Savannah area for nearly a decade, and we know how to prepare the ground and lay the surface so it lasts.

How a Job Works in Tybee Island
We start with a free on-site assessment. We measure your driveway or lot, look at the subgrade and drainage, check for standing water or soft spots, and explain what we find in plain language. We provide a written estimate with tonnage and thickness specs so you know exactly what you are paying for. We answer questions about permits, HOA approval, or utility locates, and we help you navigate local requirements.
When we begin work, we bring in the right equipment for tight Tybee Island lots. We excavate and prepare the subgrade, compact the aggregate base, and lay hot mix asphalt to the thickness we specified. If the job involves a curb cut, apron, or extension, we coordinate with local inspectors and make sure the work meets the City of Tybee Island's impervious-surface and drainage rules. We proof-roll the finished surface to confirm compaction, and we clean up all debris when we are done.
You walk the job with us when it is finished. We point out the pitch, the edges, and the drainage pattern. New asphalt needs six to twelve months to cure fully, and we advise against any sealcoating until that cure is complete. After that, regular sweeping and quick repair of small cracks keeps your driveway in good shape for years.
Driveway paving in Tybee Island typically starts at $6 per square foot for a new installation, though the final price depends on the square footage, the access for equipment, the condition of the existing subgrade, and the thickness we lay. Resurfacing an existing driveway over a sound base costs less, starting around $4 per square foot. Repair work like pothole patching or edge rebuilding starts at $450 for a small job. A full driveway replacement, which includes removal of the old surface and complete base preparation, generally runs $7 per square foot or more depending on what we find beneath. Parking lot work, private roads, and extensions or aprons are quoted on site. We provide free estimates and written specs.
