From Dairy Farms to Driveways

Asphalt paving in Hybla Valley covers neighborhoods built on former dairy farms. Sherwood Farm, Hybla Valley Farm and Popkins Farm were turned into suburban neighborhoods; Hollin Hills was completed during World War II, and Mason Hill was created in 1978. Mount Vernon Plaza went up on the west side in 2002. The CDP had 16,319 residents and 5,966 housing units in 2020 on about 2 square miles, at an elevation of around 33 feet.

The airport that became a park

Plans for the George Washington Air Junction and Hybla Valley Airport once promised the largest civilian airport in the world. The project was abandoned, and the land is now Huntley Meadows Park. The low, wet ground that made an airport impractical is still here, and lots near the park and along Little Hunting Creek and Paul Springs stay damp. Driveways on that ground need firm stone bases and good drainage.

Hollin Hills and mid-century homes

Hollin Hills, east of Route 1, is known for its modernist houses set into wooded slopes. Driveways there are often short, sloped and close to large trees, and owners usually want a simple, clean surface that suits the house. We keep layouts minimal and protect roots where we can.

Gum Springs

Gum Springs, an African American community founded in 1833 by West Ford, sits along Route 1. Older homes and churches in and near Gum Springs have driveways and lots that may need full replacement or careful repair.

Commercial lots on Route 1

Richmond Highway runs through Hybla Valley, lined with shopping centers and apartment complexes whose lots see heavy traffic. We rebuild entrances at full depth, overlay drive aisles and restripe with accessible spaces to the 2010 ADA Standards.

Streets

Most public streets here are VDOT-maintained, and entrance changes follow VDOT's private entrance rules.

Sherwood Regional Library and civic lots

Civic, church and library lots in the area need regular sealing and restriping, and accessible spaces near entrances matter. We lay out accessible spaces to the 2010 ADA Standards whenever we restripe.

Mason Hill and newer streets

Mason Hill, created in 1978, and later infill have driveways that are younger than the area's original homes. Those mostly need crack sealing and sealcoating, plus edge repairs where lawns meet unsupported asphalt.

Hybla Valley Questions

Can you pave a driveway in Hollin Hills without hurting the trees?

We keep excavation away from major roots where possible and adjust the layout to protect them.

Why does my driveway stay damp?

Hybla Valley is low and wet in places. A deeper base and better drainage help asphalt last on that ground.

Do you restripe shopping center lots on Route 1?

Yes, including accessible spaces.

Do younger driveways need full replacement?

Rarely. Crack sealing, sealcoating and edge repairs usually keep them in good shape.
