Milton is a north Fulton County city incorporated in 2006, built around large-lot estate properties, equestrian farms, and planned subdivisions like White Columns, The Manor Golf and Country Club, and Crooked Creek. Many properties in Milton sit on one acre or more, which means driveways are often long, sometimes exceeding 100 feet, and run across wooded terrain with mature tree canopy and root systems near the pavement edge. The Crabapple area near the city's historic crossroads has a mix of older homes and newer infill, while the Birmingham section holds some of the largest and most rural parcels in the city. Asphalt on large rural and semi-rural lots in Milton faces different conditions than suburban driveways, including steeper grades, more root intrusion, and less consistent drainage.
