Is your Halls Crossroads driveway holding up to the neighborhood’s growth?
Halls Crossroads has grown from a rural crossroads at Emory Road and Maynardville Pike into one of North Knox County’s busiest suburban communities. Open land that used to sit between older ranch homes is now filling in with new subdivisions, and the shopping centers along Emory Road and Maynardville Pike keep bringing more traffic through the area.
That growth adds up fast on driveways and parking areas.
Whether it’s a ranch-style driveway from the 1960s or a new build going in off Dry Gap Pike, the pavement has to handle Halls Crossroads clay soil and a real freeze-thaw winter every year.

Halls Crossroads sits in the Beaver Creek watershed, nestled between Black Oak Ridge and Beaver Ridge in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians. Beaver Creek runs straight through the middle of the community, parallel to Emory Road, before it eventually reaches the Clinch River.
A driveway close to the creek faces different drainage pressure than one built up toward the ridges, and asphalt that skips proper base preparation for that clay tends to heave, hold standing water, and crack out well before it should.
Between established neighborhoods, new subdivisions, and the commercial corridor along Emory Road and Maynardville Pike, property owners here need a mix of new installs, repairs, and ongoing maintenance.
New installations and full replacements, graded and paved to hold up on both creek-bottom and ridge lots. See our driveway paving services.
Paving and resurfacing for the shopping centers and commercial properties along Emory Road and Maynardville Pike. See our parking lot paving services.
Pothole and edge repair for older Halls Crossroads driveways and lots that have been through a few winters. See our asphalt repair and patchwork services.
Protective sealcoating that slows down the cracking clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles cause over time. See our asphalt sealcoating services.
Halls Crossroads is unincorporated Knox County, so most driveways and lots here connect to county roads rather than city streets, which changes how access points and right-of-way approvals get handled compared to a job inside Knoxville city limits. Our crews account for that before work ever starts.
We cover the community from the Emory Road and Maynardville Pike crossroads out through the surrounding growth areas, including:
Halls Crossroads sits between Fountain City to the south, Powell to the west, and Corryton to the east, so jobs here range from tight in-town lots near the shopping centers to larger residential parcels further out. That range in property type is why every Halls Crossroads job gets scoped on-site rather than priced sight unseen.
50 Years in Business: Founded in 1976, we’ve worked Knox County long enough to know how Halls Crossroads clay behaves through a Tennessee winter.
Own Local Crews: Every job is handled by our own crews directly, with no subcontractors passing the work down the line.
Full In-House Process: Grading, preparation, paving, and finishing are all managed under one roof, so nothing gets lost between separate contractors.
Written Warranty: Every completed job comes with a written warranty backing the workmanship behind it.
Since Halls Crossroads is unincorporated, most driveways tie into Knox County roads rather than city streets, and any new or modified access point onto a county right-of-way needs a permit from Knox County Engineering & Public Works before work starts. We can walk you through what your specific property needs.
Clay-heavy soil near Beaver Creek holds more water than the firmer ground on the surrounding ridges, so proper grading and a compacted base matter more here than on drier, sandier ground. Skipping that step is the most common reason driveways in this part of Knox County crack early.
Cost depends on driveway size, current condition, slope, and how much grading or base repair the site needs before paving can start. A site visit gives an accurate picture for your property.
Yes. We work on both the commercial properties along Emory Road and Maynardville Pike and residential driveways throughout Halls Crossroads’ established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions.
Whether it’s a first-time driveway install on new construction or resurfacing a commercial lot along Emory Road, the right approach starts with knowing how Halls Crossroads ground actually behaves.
Edward’s Black Top Paving proudly serves homeowners, businesses, developers, and property managers throughout Halls Crossroads and the rest of Knox County.
