Call for a Free EstimatePawleys Island is a historic barrier island in Georgetown County, less than four miles long and mostly one house wide, separated from the mainland by salt marsh and accessible by two causeways. It is the oldest seaside resort in America and is known for its laid back character and natural beauty. The entire island sits in a flood hazard area, and the combination of tidal flooding, sandy ground, and salt air creates specific challenges for any paved surface.
We provide asphalt paving, sealcoating, driveway paving, parking lot construction, blacktop repair, and concrete services throughout Pawleys Island and the surrounding mainland communities. Whether you own a home on the island itself, a property in one of the mainland neighborhoods like Pawleys Retreat or Hagley Estates, or a business along Highway 17, we handle every project from estimate to final walkthrough with honest pricing and no shortcuts.

The entire Town of Pawleys Island is in a FEMA flood hazard area. King tides regularly push water onto Myrtle Avenue, Springs Avenue, and Pritchard Street, and heavy rain events can flood the island roads quickly because there is very little elevation to work with. The town has been actively working on drainage improvements, including creekside berms and plans to raise road elevations over time. For any private driveway or parking area on the island, proper grading and drainage are not optional. They are the difference between a surface that lasts and one that fails within a few years.
The island itself is narrow, with most properties sitting between the ocean and the marsh creek. That means the ground is sandy, the water table is high, and saltwater exposure is constant. Asphalt breaks down faster in these conditions, which is why regular sealcoating is essential for any paved surface on Pawleys Island. We recommend sealing every two years for island properties rather than the standard two to three year cycle used farther inland.
On the mainland side, the greater Pawleys Island area includes neighborhoods like Pawleys Retreat, Hagley Estates, and Litchfield, as well as commercial properties along Highway 17 near Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park. These properties still deal with sandy soil and coastal humidity but are less affected by direct tidal flooding. We work throughout the entire Pawleys Island area and adjust our base preparation and drainage approach based on the specific conditions of each property.
What Pawleys Island Customers Say
Real feedback from a local property owner.
“We needed our driveway repaved on the island and were worried about flooding ruining it like the last one. They built the base up properly, graded it toward the street, and sealed it before we even asked. Two hurricane seasons later and it still looks great. These guys actually understand the conditions out here.”

Pawleys Island Paving Questions
Common questions from Pawleys Island property owners.
Yes. Occasional tidal flooding will not destroy a properly built driveway. The key is the base and drainage. We build the base thicker, grade the surface so water sheds off quickly, and seal the asphalt to protect it from saltwater. A well built driveway on Pawleys Island will hold up for years even with periodic flooding.
We recommend every two years for properties on the island itself. The constant salt air, tidal moisture, and UV exposure break down asphalt faster than inland locations. Mainland properties in the greater Pawleys Island area can usually go two to three years between sealcoats.
Both. We work on the island itself as well as mainland neighborhoods like Pawleys Retreat, Hagley Estates, Litchfield, and commercial properties along Highway 17. We bring our equipment across the causeway and are used to working on the narrow island lots.
Concrete handles standing water better than asphalt and does not require sealcoating. However, it costs more and can crack if the sandy base shifts. Asphalt is more flexible and easier to repair. We will look at your property, discuss the flooding patterns, and recommend the best option for your situation.
The Town of Pawleys Island has building and flood regulations that may apply to certain paving projects, especially those that change the footprint or elevation of impervious surfaces. We are familiar with these requirements and can help you understand what applies to your project before we start.
