Deale is a working waterfront town, built around Rockhold Creek, Tracys Creek, and Herring Bay, with marinas and boatyards where other towns have strip malls. The housing is a mix you do not see many places: original fishing cottages on small lots, mid-century ranchers along Deale Churchton Road and Bay Front Road, and newer homes raised up on pilings and block foundations near the water. Driveways here are just as mixed. Short gravel pull-offs, old asphalt that has been patched for thirty years, shared lanes running back to two or three houses. What they all share is the ground. Much of Deale sits only a few feet above the Bay. The water table is high, the soil is sandy with pockets of clay, and after a nor'easter or a hard summer storm the water has nowhere to go. That is the single biggest thing we plan for on a Deale driveway. A thin layer of asphalt over wet ground will not last five years. A properly graded driveway on a compacted stone base, pitched so water runs off instead of sitting, will last decades. We have the advantage of knowing these streets, and of being five minutes from every job in town.

Common projects in Deale
Driveways in Deale usually need one of three things. Full replacement of an old asphalt driveway that has cracked and sunk from wet ground. A gravel driveway converted to asphalt, often with the grade raised and reshaped for drainage. Or a new driveway and parking pad under and around a raised waterfront home. We also pave and repair shared private lanes and marina and boatyard lots.

Deale paving FAQs
My Deale property is low and close to the water. Will asphalt hold up?
Yes, if the base and drainage are built for it. On low lots we focus on getting the grade up where possible, building a thicker compacted stone base, and making sure water sheds off the surface. Asphalt fails near the water when it is laid thin over wet ground with no plan for drainage.
