Our Approach

Public works run on deadlines and taxpayer dollars. We treat both like a fiduciary would.

GBL Paving is led by a president whose background is in finance — and that discipline runs through every bid we submit. Quantities are taken off carefully, costs are modeled honestly, and the number we hand a public agency is a number we stand behind.

The result is fewer surprises, cleaner change orders, and projects that close out the way they were bid. For agencies answerable to the public, that financial rigor is as valuable as the paving itself.

    Accurate, defensible bids

    Line-item clarity that stands up to public scrutiny and procurement review.

  • 03

    On budget, on schedule

    Financial controls and experienced crews that keep projects from drifting.

  • 04

    Sound, bondable footing

    A stable, well-run company with the standing to bond the work we take on.

Our Story

Three decades on Delmarva's roads.

What began as a landscaping crew — Grass Busters Landscaping — became one of the region's trusted public infrastructure contractors. The name carries forward: GBL.

1994

Founded as Grass Busters Landscaping

The company opens as a landscaping operation, growing into public-space work — grading, sodding, and irrigation for small parks and athletic fields.

1999

A permanent home base

The company establishes its facility — still home to our office, workshop, and equipment fleet today.

Early 2000s

The turn toward public work

Focus shifts to state and municipal contracts, adding paver work and ADA-compliant access ramps to the company's capabilities.

2012

All in on paving & concrete

After installing the bike path connecting Delaware City to Chesapeake City, the company exits landscaping to focus fully on paving and concrete.
