Asphalt and Paving Company in New Bern, NC


If you’ve ever driven over a cracked driveway or walked through a parking lot that looked like a puzzle of potholes and patch jobs, you already know how crucial quality paving is. It’s all about structure, safety, and longevity. 

Asphalt, despite looking like just another blacktop surface, is actually a carefully engineered blend that needs to be mixed, poured, and compacted just right. If you mess up the base, your surface won’t last a year. And if you skimp on grading, say hello to standing water and premature cracking.

Paving isn’t plug-and-play. It’s site prep, soil evaluation, slope control, thickness calculations, temperature timing, and knowing how to adapt when the ground surprises you. It’s one of those trades where experience shows up in the final product. Smooth transitions. Even compaction. Perfect drainage. Quality work tends to speak for itself, even from across the street.


And good asphalt work isn’t one-size-fits-all. A residential driveway doesn’t demand the same structure as a commercial lot or a rural road. From chip seal surfaces for private roads to asphalt milling and line striping, each element needs a specialist’s eye.

So, how do you know you’ve hired the right crew? Look for a team that understands more than surface work. They should talk about soil stability, water runoff, layering, and maintenance cycles. They’ll ask the right questions before they ever fire up the roller.


In New Bern, Able Asphalt Paving Inc. has become the go-to name because we get it in and out, from base to finish. Sealcoating, road building, or driveway repair, we bring the right knowledge to every inch they pave.

Exploring - New Bern, NC

Located at the meeting point of the Neuse and Trent Rivers, New Bern, NC, is a charming coastal gem with a rich waterside heritage. Founded in 1710 by Swiss and Palatine settlers, it’s the second-oldest colonial town in the state and once served as North Carolina’s capital. Known for its rich architecture, four historic districts, and over 160 registered historic homes, New Bern has earned its nickname, the Athens of the South. 


Its past weaves through everything from early printing and publishing (thanks to North Carolina’s first printer, James Davis) to a pivotal role in the Civil War, when it became a Union stronghold and a haven for formerly enslaved people. In the 19th century, it flourished as a lumber hub, leading to the construction of many stately homes still standing today. Now, it's a vibrant waterfront community where cobblestone history meets modern
