Ocracoke Island, NC recently benefited from Finley Asphalt & Concrete’s expertise in delivering a state-of-the-art sports court paving project for the Ocracoke Youth Center. Facing unique logistical hurdles due to the island’s marshy terrain and ferry-only access, Finley Asphalt & Concrete meticulously planned every phase to ensure a seamless construction process.
The chosen project site on Ocracoke Island was previously undeveloped and marshy, requiring careful preparation to provide a stable foundation. The difficult access—only achievable by ferry—heightened the importance of efficient scheduling and early coordination. Equipment deliveries were organized for early mornings, overcoming narrow logistical windows and site restrictions. Laser-guided grading technology was employed to precisely prepare the base with four inches of stone, setting the stage for optimal asphalt application.
Once the base was set, Finley Asphalt & Concrete installed fresh, high-quality asphalt, forming the foundation for durable, all-season sports use. Concrete curbs and ADA-compliant parking spaces were added to enhance safety and accessibility, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and compliance with regulatory standards. The site’s drainage was expertly contoured, protecting against puddling and ensuring the longevity of the courts.
The final product features two multi-use courts with crisp, professional striping designed for a variety of youth sports and recreation activities. The Ocracoke Youth Center now boasts a valuable community asset, and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Excitement is already building for a planned Phase 3, which will introduce tennis and pickleball courts, further enhancing recreational options on the island.
This project underscores the value of choosing contractors with demonstrated experience in challenging environments. For top-tier paving services in Ocracoke Island, NC, Finley Asphalt & Concrete sets the standard for quality and customer satisfaction.
