We hope that you will find […]
Perhaps the most valuable lessons I have learned as an asphalt contractor in Louisville stems from problem-solving as a worker in the field. After a hard day’s work, a former employee once said to me that they, “can’t wait to drive around and sit in a truck all day.” In all honesty, I did not […]
Asphalt paving is not necessarily a difficult concept to grasp. It is a compound of rocks, sand, and tar. You will, however, want to understand a few more things in depth if you have visions of providing a high-end, reliable product to commercial customers. Proper mixtures, the effects of ground and air temperatures, grading and […]
Asphalt paving contractors have never been at the forefront of customer service. National giants and local paving companies alike have rarely even been considered “middle of the pack” when it comes to customer satisfaction. For the vast majority of us who are residential or commercial paving contractors, we are outside in the field and up […]
Self-dialogue about when to sealcoat a parking lot or driveway happens when you own or manage a property. The cost, time, and mess can push your good intentions months or years down the road. The job might seem easy enough to where you purchase the supplies at Lowe’s or Home Depot and tackle it yourself. […]
Whether you choose to admit it or not, technology makes growing a business easier. Areas of your life are abundant where technology is a pain in the ass. Digital password resets, unrecognized user errors, internet speeds, and frozen computer screens can make you want to open a window and toss that modern marvel as far […]
Whether you run an asphalt paving company, a local restaurant, or are a waitress serving at a local chamber meeting, you have heard the conversation about gaining customer reviews. Whether it’s a customer who clicked on the fifth star or one who wrote about the demise of her/his life because of the pebble found in […]
Standing on top of, or even being anywhere near, 300-degree asphalt while it is being laid down immediately supplies you with a healthy respect for what asphalt paving workers go through. Add 90 degrees of heat from the sun and a blanket of humidity and even the toughest humans and elite athletes might be ready […]
Being a leader in these strange times can be overwhelming. With all of the resources, advertisements, and studies about workplace productivity and time management, the idea of holding meetings in the year 2020 is sited as being potentially detrimental to progress. As a paving contractor, our schedule and goals can change over the course of […]
Protecting your asphalt driveway is a great investment. The savings you can achieve through simple driveway maintenance will be noticeable in the long run. Plus, your property will look great. With simple crackseal and sealcoat applications every couple of years, you can more than double your asphalt pavement life, save money, and improve your […]
I have never been one to accept the status quo or be okay with coasting. Even when relaxing or spending time with my family, I find myself looking for ways to be productive or researching the next best way to improve myself or the well-being of my family and friends. I do not say this […]
I thought I would give you a break. A majority of people in this country are sitting on pins and needles while shouting and waving an ax above their heads. Maybe I shouldn’t say a majority of people, but many of those who care to share their opinion are certainly doing just that. I […]
As a business owner, once you get to the point where you can release the reigns on your sales team, execute from your Director of Operation’s plan, and trust your guys in the field, you afford yourself the responsibility of thinking about growth. Being in this position, you can see possibilities, opportunities, and relationships as […]
I knew nothing about marketing two years ago except for two things: I spent money on it, and people were always trying to sell me advertising spots. Pamphlets, coffee newsletters, in-mail inserts, directories, google ads, commercials… I spent money on all of these things. Most business literature agrees that the 10% rule is the closest […]
We learned from talking with homeowners that they only feel like they have two residential paving options. One option is to pay an inflated price to a company that does not want to travel from a centralized location. The other was to give the job to a low-bid company with no previous work history or […]
Happy customers that lead to opportunities and long-term relationships should be the goal of every paving contractor. We all know that is not the case with a good number of asphalt paving companies. However, if you are reading this, you have some desire to learn. Whether you be another contractor, looking to get into the […]
As a small business owner, just like any human, you can often have sequences of demanding tasks that can derail enthusiasm. Concentration, dedication, planning, and hard work are more-than-acceptable substitutes and accomplices as enthusiasm alone is for people outside of the arena. You have to first show your team that you can stick to a […]
As someone raised in Woodford Co, there isn’t a better day on the job than when we get to pave and meet with the residents, horse farm owners, business owners, and properties managers who live or work in Central Kentucky. It is truly a dream of mine for ADC Paving to work outside of the […]

I could not be more thrilled to have been asked by the National Pavement Expo to lead a class on Marketing. It has been a goal of mine to educate and share our learnings beyond the walls at ADC Paving, and to lead a class is truly an opportunity I am not taking lightly. Joining […]
Phil (00:00): All right, Mr. Gray. Good to go?
Last week I spoke of the importance of making the purchasing process easy for potential customers. Technology and time is something we all seem to have more of these days. And if you are ready to scratch the game-plan or perhaps even start a new business, there are three resources I recommend you look at, […]
