Free Estimate: (410) 212-8084Annapolis, MD
Annapolis is Maryland's capital, home of the Naval Academy, and a city wrapped around creeks and rivers. For paving, it is really several places. The historic district and Eastport have narrow streets and small lots where a driveway or a parking pad is a prized asset and access for equipment takes planning. Beyond downtown, along Forest Drive, Bay Ridge Road, and out the Annapolis Neck, are established neighborhoods such as Hillsmere Shores and Bay Ridge, built mostly from the 1950s through the 1980s, where original driveways are long past due. West of the city, off Riva Road and Generals Highway, lots get larger and driveways get longer. Much of the area is close to tidewater, so grading and drainage matter, and the city and county both pay attention to stormwater and impervious surface, especially near the shoreline in the Critical Area. We will talk through what applies to your property during the estimate. Annapolis is the largest community in our service area and a short run up Route 2 from our base.

Annapolis paving FAQs
Are there rules about paving near the water in Annapolis?
Properties close to tidal water fall within Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Critical Area, which limits how much of a lot can be covered by hard surfaces. Replacing an existing driveway in the same footprint is generally simpler than expanding one. We will go over what is likely to apply to your lot, and you should confirm specifics with the city or county permit office.
Can you work on a tight lot downtown or in Eastport?
Yes. We look at access and street parking during the estimate, use equipment sized for the space, and plan the job to keep the street open and the neighbors happy.
