King Asphalt takes pride in their work and workmanship and has been awarded several Quality Pavement Awards by the South Carolina Asphalt Pavement Association.

From humble beginnings in 1973, salvaging equipment and paving driveways by hand, King Asphalt set out to become one of the most well-respected asphalt organizations in South Carolina. Today, almost 44 years later, King Asphalt consists of manufacturing facilities in Liberty, Simpsonville, and our newest facility in Pacolet, S.C. During this growth process, a very loyal customer base was established - and those same customers depend on King Asphalt today.

In the case of the planned rehabilitation of 7 miles of U.S. Highway 123 in Pickens County, South Carolina, the South Carolina DOT (SCDOT) quickly acceded to a largescale change suggested by contractor King Asphalt-one that would completely reenvision both the scope of the project and the quality of the resulting rehabilitation, and earned the 2020 ROADS & BRIDGES/ARRA Recycling Award for Full-Depth Reclamation. The Quality Pavement Award recognizes asphalt pavements with exemplary quality. The nominees for this award are evaluated for outstanding quality control at the plant as well as providing a superb, smooth roadway for the traveling public.

If you are tired of dodging potholes, unable to locate a properly marked parking space, or are in need of a fresh look to your existing pavement, our experienced pavement maintenance staff will be happy to discuss your situation. Even the best asphalt pavements are subject to deterioration due to water and sunlight damage after a period of time. Water intrusion is said to be the leading cause of pavement failure, which eventually creates cracks and ultimately potholes. Properly sealing those cracks will greatly reduce water into the sub-base and virtually eliminate further damage to the asphalt.
