Asphalt Driveways
We pave new asphalt driveways and turn gravel driveways into asphalt. The ground is graded and the stone base compacted before the hot-mix goes down.

Much of Clarksville sits on low, flat ground beside the Ohio River and Silver Creek. It is an older town, too: half its homes were built in 1971 or earlier, by Census estimates. When an older driveway cracks or holds puddles, the trouble often starts in the ground below it.

Clarksville dates to 1783, and the town's 2015 plan calls it the first American settlement in the Northwest Territory. The town grew from south to north, one neighborhood at a time, the plan says. The oldest neighborhoods have narrow lots, and many have alleys.
Neighborhoods like Beechwood Manor and Greenacres filled in between the late 1940s and the mid 1970s. About two in three Clarksville homes went up before 1980, and six in ten are detached single-family houses. That adds up to a lot of driveways that have seen many winters. Building is picking up again, too, with permits for 34 new single-family homes in 2025, by Census counts.
On a narrow lot, our 40-inch skid steer planers mill off the old surface. Big jobs get a large milling machine. Where the base is sound, an asphalt overlay can renew the surface. Where the base has failed, it gets rebuilt before new hot-mix asphalt goes down.
The town's south edge is the Ohio River, at the Falls of the Ohio State Park across from Louisville. The town's plan says a significant part of Clarksville lies in the FEMA floodplain. An Ohio River floodwall protects most of town. The mouth of Silver Creek is a natural break in that wall, so river water can back up the creek.
USDA soil maps put close to two-thirds of the town on flat ground, 0 to 3 percent slopes. The biggest share sits on an old lake plain with clay below. Where the soil survey rates this ground for local roads, nearly all of it rates very limited. The reasons include low strength and frost action.
Water also pools in low spots, where the town's plan says the soil drains poorly. The area gets about 51 inches of precipitation a year, per NOAA normals for neighboring Jeffersonville. Water left under asphalt softens the base, and in winter it can freeze and push the pavement up. We grade and compact the stone base so water runs off the new asphalt, as part of the paving job.
The Town of Clarksville splits these questions between offices. The town Street Department takes requests for curb cut permits and pavement cut permits. The town says street cut permits come from the Public Works offices, outside its online permit portal. The Building Commissioner issues building permits, and the town lists fill among the work that needs one.
The town says new construction and many site changes need a development plan approved by the Plan Commission. Ask about it early for a new or bigger business lot. Any project that disturbs an acre or more of ground also needs coverage under Indiana's construction stormwater permit.
Planning and Zoning answers whether a property lies in a flood plain and what limits apply. Indiana law also asks whoever digs or grades to notify Indiana 811 at least two full working days ahead. Before work starts, ask the town which permits your job needs.
Clarksville draws shoppers from across the region. The town's plan puts its biggest cluster of jobs along Veterans Parkway and Lewis and Clark Parkway. Lewis and Clark Parkway carries US 31 through town, and the area sees heavy traffic every day.
We pave new lots and repave worn ones, and we stripe the lots we pave. On a worn lot, asphalt milling takes off the old top layer first. Then the new surface meets the curbs at the right height.
The town's plan also maps a 300-acre South Clarksville Redevelopment Area, with Stansifer Avenue as its north edge. New construction there goes through the town's development plan review.
