Family Owned. Fourth Generation. Owners On Site.
South State Paving, LLC is a family owned and operated asphalt paving company based in Deale, Maryland. George Cooper is a fourth-generation paver. Paving is what his family has always done, and South State is where he does it his way: heavy on preparation, honest about what a driveway needs, and with an owner on every job.
Why customers pick South State
Ask our customers and you hear the same four things: the customer service, the workmanship, that we are family owned and operated, and that the owners are actually on site. None of that is complicated. It is just rare.
The biggest hesitation anyone has before hiring a paver is trust. You are spending real money on something you cannot inspect. Once the asphalt is down, nobody can see the base. So we earn that trust the only way it can be earned. We build a relationship, we show you every detail, and we explain every step of the job before it starts.
When you call (410) 212-8084, George answers. Day or night. That is not a call center promise. It is how a family business works.




A driveway fails from the bottom up. So that is where we start.
Excavation, stone base, grading, compaction. It is the part you never see again and the part that decides whether a driveway lasts 8 years or 25. We do not rush it and we do not skip it.
Thin asphalt is how low bids get low. We put down the thickness the job calls for, matched to the ground underneath and to what will be driving on it.
Hiring a paver takes trust, and trust gets earned. We walk the property with you, show you what we see, and explain each step of the job before any work starts.
South State is family owned and operated. An owner is on the job while it is being built. If you have a question, you ask the person whose name is on the line.
