Hendersonville is a Sumner County city with Old Hickory Lake along its southern edge. Census survey data dates about a third of its homes to the 1960s and 1970s. On drives that old, cracks spread and the edges crumble into the grass. After a hard rain, water stands in the low spots.

The same Census survey counts about three of every four Hendersonville homes as single-family detached houses. The median home here was built in 1989. Nearly four in ten went up in 2000 or later, so the city mixes old drives with newer ones.
New home building is modest. The Census permit survey counted 192 single-family homes permitted in Hendersonville in 2025, against 843 in Gallatin. That means much of the driveway work here starts with an old drive. Potholes and broken edges on a younger drive may need only asphalt repair.
A worn drive with a sound base can take asphalt resurfacing, new hot mix laid over the old surface. A failed base calls for full replacement. We strip out the old surface, then grade the drive and pack a crushed stone base with a roller. The hot mix goes down last, from the top of the drive out to the road.
In the NRCS soil survey, Mimosa soils cover more ground around downtown than any other series. Mimosa formed in clay weathered from limestone, and water moves through it slowly. Rain runs off its slopes at a medium to rapid rate. Bedrock sits 40 to 60 inches down.
Harpeth silt loam comes second, on high terraces and rolling uplands. It is very deep and drains well. On some slopes the survey maps Barfield soils and rock outcrop, with limestone 8 to 20 inches down. Drakes Creek runs south through the city to Old Hickory Lake.
NOAA's climate normals for its Old Hickory Dam station show about 48 inches of precipitation a year. Lows reach 32 degrees or colder on about 86 days, and highs reach 90 or more on about 59. On clay ground, we settle drainage in the grading before the stone base goes down. Later on, sealcoating keeps water out of the asphalt, and we work the sealer in to fill its pores.
Cutting into a City street takes a Road Cut Permit from Hendersonville Public Works. The Road Superintendent reviews each application and later inspects the road repair. The permit holder must restore the roadway to City specifications. Whether a driveway job needs one depends on the work at the street, and Public Works answers that.
Grading counts as land disturbing activity under the City's municipal code. Public Works requires a land disturbance permit for every commercial site and any job of an acre or more. Its guide puts a single-family home under an acre on the not-required list.
US-31E and New Shackle Island Road (SR 258) are state highways. A new or changed driveway onto either needs a TDOT permit, and state law puts that on the property owner. Tennessee's one-call law wants an 811 request at least three working days before digging, grading included. We tell you which office to call before work starts.
Hendersonville Public Works maintains the City's public stormwater system. The City lists driveway pipes and culverts as part of that system, along with storm drains and ditches. Public Works repairs or replaces failed drainage structures in the public right-of-way.
The City puts stormwater issues on private property in the owner's hands. Runoff from one private lot onto another is on its list of services it does not manage. Its flood risk page says everyone lives with some flood risk, and it points owners to FEMA's flood maps.
On your own land, the grade of the drive or lot decides where the water goes. We set string lines and pull out the grass and vegetation first. Then we shape the grade so water runs off the asphalt. On a church or shop lot, drainage gets worked into the grading the same way.
