Peach State Paving Company builds and repairs concrete and asphalt driveways, parking lots, walkways and more across Young Harris, Georgia. Home to Young Harris College and set near Lake Chatuge in the far north Georgia mountains, this Towns County town has steep terrain, rocky soil and cold winters that make pavement work more demanding than on flatter ground.

Concrete and Asphalt Paving Services in Young Harris
Asphalt Driveway Paving
Young Harris driveways often climb steep, rocky terrain near Lake Chatuge and the surrounding mountains, so grading and drainage planning are critical. We build a compacted base that handles runoff and resists shifting on sloped ground. Properties along Highway 76 and near Young Harris College get a stable surface built for the mountains.
Asphalt Parking Lot Paving
Young Harris College and nearby small businesses see steady campus and visitor traffic. We pave with proper drainage so runoff from the surrounding hills does not pool and wear down the lot. The result stays functional through wet seasons and busy campus schedules.
Asphalt Repair & Patching
Rocky subsoil and freeze-thaw cycles at higher elevation can cause Young Harris pavement to crack or heave over time. We cut out the damaged section, rebuild the base and patch with fresh asphalt so the repair holds. It keeps mountain driveways and lots level and safe.
Asphalt Sealcoating
Cold winters and heavy seasonal rain both take a toll on asphalt around Young Harris, especially on driveways near Lake Chatuge. Sealcoating adds a protective layer that slows cracking and keeps the surface looking fresh. It is an easy way to extend pavement life between repaving jobs.
Chip Seal
Long, sloped driveways and private roads near Lake Chatuge and the college are a strong fit for chip seal. It provides a durable, skid-resistant surface at a lower cost than full asphalt, which matters on steep mountain grades. It also holds up well through freeze-thaw cycles.
Concrete Driveways
Concrete works well for Young Harris properties with steep or rocky lots where a stable, low-maintenance surface is a priority. We set the right slope and place control joints so water drains correctly and cracking stays under control. The slab is built to handle both wet seasons and mountain winters.
Concrete Parking Lots
Young Harris College and small commercial properties near Lake Chatuge need parking surfaces that can handle seasonal tourist and campus traffic without frequent upkeep. We pour reinforced concrete lots that resist rutting even on sloped ground. Grading keeps runoff moving away from buildings.
Concrete Patios & Pool Decks
Young Harris' lake and mountain views make outdoor living space a priority for many homeowners near Lake Chatuge. We pour patios and decks with slip-resistant finishes and drainage sloped away from the home. Color and texture options let the space complement a wooded, mountain setting.
Concrete Sidewalks, Walkways & Steps
Steep terrain around Young Harris and the college campus often calls for stepped walkways between a driveway and the front door. We pour level steps and walkways with a consistent rise and non-slip finish, built to stay safe in wet, shaded conditions near the lake.
Concrete Curbs, Gutters & ADA Ramps
On sloped Young Harris properties, curb and gutter work is important for directing storm runoff away from driveways and structures. We form each run precisely and build ADA ramps to spec, keeping campus and commercial properties accessible and up to code.
Concrete Slabs, Foundations & Footings
Cabins, campus buildings and outbuildings on Young Harris' rocky, wooded lots need a stable, well-reinforced base. We prepare the site, form the work and pour slabs and footings that stay level despite the sloped terrain. Careful prep now prevents structural problems later.
Concrete Repair & Replacement
Cracked or heaving concrete is common on Young Harris' rocky, sloped ground, especially after years of freeze-thaw cycles at higher elevation. We assess the damage and give an honest recommendation on repair versus replacement. When replacement is needed, we remove the old slab and pour a fresh, level surface.
Decorative Concrete — Stamped, Colored & Exposed Aggregate
Decorative concrete suits Young Harris' natural, mountain surroundings well. Stamped patterns can mimic stone, colored concrete adds warm earth tones, and exposed aggregate gives a slip-resistant, natural finish for driveways, patios and walkways near the lake.
Parking Lot & Warehouse Striping
Young Harris College and nearby small businesses benefit from clear, organized striping for visitor, student and staff parking. We mark parking stalls, fire lanes and ADA spaces to keep lots safe during busy campus and tourist seasons.
Why Young Harris Property Owners Choose Peach State Paving Company
Forty years of paving in Georgia means we understand what Young Harris’ steep, rocky mountain ground does to pavement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Young Harris' mountain terrain make paving more difficult?
Yes. Steep slopes, rocky subsoil and freeze-thaw cycles near Lake Chatuge require careful grading and drainage planning. We build the base to match the terrain on each property.
Should I choose concrete or asphalt for a sloped Young Harris driveway?
Asphalt handles steep, sloped grades well and costs less upfront. Concrete offers more durability with less maintenance over time. We can evaluate your property’s slope and soil before recommending an option.
How does freeze-thaw weather affect pavement near Lake Chatuge?
Water that seeps into small cracks can freeze and expand during cold snaps, making cracks worse over time. Regular sealcoating and prompt repairs help protect pavement through Young Harris’ winters.

Yes. Besides Young Harris, we work in Blairsville, Hiawassee, Hayesville, Morganton and Blue Ridge for both residential and commercial projects.
