Asphalt Paving in Woodlawn, VA

Asphalt paving in Woodlawn centers on the Route 1 corridor. The census first listed Woodlawn as its own CDP in 2010, carved from the old Mount Vernon CDP, and it counted 20,859 residents in 2020 on only about 2.3 square miles. U.S. Route 1 runs along its southern side, apartment complexes typical of the corridor fill much of it, and the historic Woodlawn Plantation occupies the southwest corner.

Apartment parking

With that many people on that little land, a lot of the pavement in Woodlawn is apartment parking. These lots take constant traffic, trash trucks and moving vans. A typical plan is full-depth repair at entrances and dumpster pads, crack sealing, a mill-and-overlay or sealcoat across the lot and fresh striping with accessible spaces brought up to the 2010 ADA Standards. We work in sections with management.

Low and wet

Woodlawn's elevation is only about 30 feet. Huntley Meadows Park marks its northern edge and Little Hunting Creek its western side. Low, damp ground keeps the base under pavement wet, which shortens its life. On these lots we pay close attention to slope toward inlets and to base depth.

Single-family streets

The single-family homes in Woodlawn have driveways of many ages. Older ones may need replacement; newer ones mostly need crack sealing, edge work and sealcoating. Most public streets are VDOT-maintained, so entrance changes follow VDOT's private entrance rules.

Route 1 businesses

Shops and service businesses along Richmond Highway have small, busy lots. Entrances wear fastest, and repairs need to be done without closing the business. We phase work and schedule around peak hours.

Woodlawn Plantation and Pope-Leighey

Historic Woodlawn Plantation and the Frank Lloyd Wright Pope-Leighey House share the southwest corner of the area. Visitor traffic on nearby roads adds wear to the aprons of homes along them.

Phasing large lots

For the bigger apartment communities, we usually split the work into three to five sections, each closed for a day or two. That keeps most parking available and lets residents plan ahead.
