Mark Buckland

Mark Buckland is a Paving Specialist and the CEO of Houston Asphalt, headquartered in Macon, GA. He is a third-generation paver, having perfected his trade early in life, working side-by-side in the family business for years. Buckland founded the company in 1991, providing the highest level of asphalt paving and seal coating for over 3 decades. Houston Asphalt has established itself as a leading service provider to commercial, residential, and industrial clients looking to hire a premium paving contractor.

Buckland is known for sharing his knowledge with customers about the benefits of asphalt surfaces over concrete. Not only is asphalt easier to maintain, but it is also a more economical solution compared to concrete, which has a higher installation cost. Mark explains how ground movements from heavy vehicle traffic, soil expansion after heavy rains, or freeze/thaw cycles during colder months can cause concrete driveway surfaces to buckle or crack. Asphalt is a flexible material that expands and contracts with temperature changes or the impact of weight.

In addition to asphalt’s many benefits, the quality of Mark Buckland’s paving services affects the performance and longevity of the driveways and parking lots his company installs. He considers many factors that improve the installation process, including the temperature and humidity in the air, along with a uniform and precise rolling pattern for a smooth and consistent surface. Houston Asphalt has a reputation for quality work and customer satisfaction.
