I’ve been part of this operation for over two decades, and King Asphalt recently acquired us. My first year working for them has been great for me and my family. Not only do they offer stable pay and excellent benefits, but they also provide the resources and support I need to advance my career. The communication and teamwork here are crucial to delivering our best products. I’m excited for many more years with who I call the “King” of asphalt.
Matt McKenzie
Asphalt Paving Foreman
I have been working with King Asphalt for five years. I was nervous about starting a new job and working with new people. It did not take long to adjust. I knew nothing when I started. I began as a Flagger and worked my way up to operating heavy equipment with the help of good people. I love my job at King Asphalt. I work with a great crew and a great boss, Rick Lawless! They treat you like family at King Asphalt.
Amber Hernandez
Heavy Equipment Operator
Over the course of nine Seasons as an asphalt milling subcontractor, I was honored to work alongside 50+ paving contractors all over the Southeast. I experienced a lot of great companies and work philosophies in action. From that exposure, I can truly say that King Asphalt embodies the best our industry has to offer. While quality work is at the forefront of our efforts every day, the commitment to safety and family are the cornerstones of our success. When employees become family a company thrives. When our family is cared for they care about their work and customers see the difference. That is the King Asphalt I love.

Senior Estimator
The atmosphere around King Asphalt is one of family, everyone gets along, and most people genuinely enjoy coming to work every day, and working around their peers. King Asphalt takes family seriously, it’s always the one thing I appreciate about them. If my daughter or son is at home sick, and I need to stay with them, there are no questions asked.

This company has done a lot for me. I have witnessed the good and the bad everywhere I have worked. I have worked with King Asphalt for 9 years, and they are always willing to help me personally and professionally. My relationships with the people at King Asphalt have helped shape me into the man I am today. This company has shown me grace a time or two, and because of that, I have grown as a person and an employee.
