Asphalt Paving in St. Martin, MS

Asphalt paving in St. Martin serves one of the most closely built communities on this side of the bay. St. Martin is an unincorporated census-designated place in Jackson County, south of Interstate 10, with D'Iberville to the west, Gulf Hills to the east and Biloxi Bay to the south. The 2020 census counted 7,811 people on about 4.3 square miles of land, a density of roughly 1,821 people per square mile, and 3,445 housing units. That means a lot of driveways close together, many shared with a neighbor's edge, and most of them used every day.

Driveways on tight lots

On smaller lots, there is not much room to work, and the driveway often runs right up to the lawn, the fence or the neighbor's drive. We use equipment sized for the space, saw-cut clean lines where new asphalt meets old, and protect fences, mailboxes and beds. If you and a neighbor share an edge or a joint, we can coordinate so both sides end up level.

County roads, not city streets

Because St. Martin is unincorporated, its streets are Jackson County roads, and mailing addresses use Biloxi or Ocean Springs with ZIP codes 39532 or 39564. Rules for work where a driveway meets the road come from the county, not either city. When a job changes the apron or the ditch crossing, we confirm the requirements for your road before we start.

Water near the bay

About 17% of St. Martin's area is water, and the southern edge sits on the bay at an elevation of about 13 feet. Neighborhoods near the water and the bayous see standing water after heavy rain. Asphalt that sits in water breaks down from below, so on replacements we raise low ends, set the grade toward the street or a swale, and build a compacted stone base that drains.

Steady, older growth

St. Martin grew from 6,676 people in 2000 to 7,730 in 2010 and has held steady since. Many homes and their driveways have been here for decades. Common problems are alligator cracking in the wheel paths, potholes where water got in, and edges broken down by tires. We patch where the rest of the drive is sound and recommend replacement only when the base has failed across most of it.

Patching versus replacing

On a tight lot with a driveway that is mostly sound, full replacement is rarely the best use of money. A square-cut, full-depth patch over each failed area, followed by crack sealing, can make the drive safe and tidy for years. We show you which areas are failing and price both options.

Schools and family traffic

St. Martin's schools, including St. Martin Middle and St. Martin High, are part of the Jackson County School District, and the neighborhoods around them see daily drop-off traffic. For families, a smooth drive without trip edges matters, especially where kids ride bikes. We finish edges cleanly and leave a tapered transition at the street.
