Athens has a lot of older concrete on hilly ground. About a quarter of the city's homes were built before 1970, by Census estimates. Concrete that old often shows its age. A driveway cracks where it meets the street, or a front walk tilts and holds water.

Athens grew from 115,452 people in 2010 to 127,315 in 2020, by Census count. The median home in the city was built in 1987. Some of the oldest stand in historic districts like Boulevard and Cobbham.
Athens is also hilly. The county's historic design guidelines point to "the hilly topography of our area." They note that the most common front-yard wall in the county is a retaining wall along the street.
On a sloped lot, a driveway or walk has to carry rain away from the house. Steps may be needed where the ground drops fast. When we replace a broken walk, the old concrete comes out first. Our page on sidewalk and walkway replacement covers that work.
Athens and Clarke County run as one unified government. There, the apron is the part of a driveway inside the public right-of-way. The county's Transportation and Public Works department reviews work on it. It allows a one-to-one repair or replacement of an existing apron through its own apron permit.
If the apron changes size or the driveway moves, the apron must meet the county's code and technical standards. The county's guide for new driveways says the apron must be concrete, 8 to 12 feet wide at the right-of-way line. The permit holder must give the driveway inspector at least 24 hours of notice before apron work starts. We point you to that department before any apron work.
A garage or workshop on a new slab is a question for the county's Building Permits and Inspections office. That office takes permit applications through an online portal.
Athens-Clarke County has 16 local historic districts, including Boulevard, Cobbham, Buena Vista Heights and Dearing Street. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required there before exterior changes. Ordinary repair and maintenance usually needs none, and Planning Department staff can tell you which is which.
The design guidelines lay out the paths. Resurfacing an existing driveway or walk in identical material and design needs no review. A new driveway or walk that fits the area's historic pattern may go to staff-level review. A circular driveway or front-yard parking area goes to a Historic Preservation Commission hearing.
Fences have a chart of their own. A side or rear yard fence qualifies for staff-level review. A new front-yard fence may need a public hearing, and the guidelines call vinyl fencing inappropriate in the districts. Our fence installation page covers the fence types we build.
Under the topsoil, most of Athens is red clay. NRCS soil data puts Pacolet and Cecil soils under more than half of the city. The NRCS rates both as well drained, with a red clay subsoil. Pacolet slopes commonly run 15 to 25 percent.
NOAA normals for the Athens airport show about 49 inches of rain a year. That water needs a path, so a new driveway or patio should shed it away from the house.
About 8 percent of the city's land sits in FEMA flood zones. They follow the North Oconee and Middle Oconee rivers and creeks such as Trail Creek. FEMA's Flood Map Service Center shows the official map for any address.
