Welcome to 12 South: Where Great Streets Meet Great Service
If you’ve spent some time in 12 South, you already get it.
This neighborhood just has something special going on. You’ve got your morning coffee spots on 12th Avenue South, the murals everyone stops to photograph, Sevier Park on a Saturday afternoon. It’s got that perfect mix of local charm and just enough buzz to keep things interesting.
But here’s the thing about busy neighborhoods. All that foot traffic? The delivery trucks squeezing down narrow streets? People constantly parking and pulling out? It takes a toll. Parking lots start looking rough. Driveways develop those annoying cracks. And don’t even get me started on what a Nashville winter does to asphalt.
That’s kind of our whole deal at All Star Seal & Stripe Nashville. We’re the people you call when your parking lot looks like it’s seen better days or your driveway’s got more cracks than a sidewalk. Whether you’re running a business near 12th and Paris, managing a property closer to the Gulch, or you own one of those great old houses between Wedgewood and Kirkwood, we can help you out.
Fresh striping. Asphalt repairs. The whole deal.
Who We Are
So All Star Seal & Stripe Nashville is basically a family-owned company. We’ve been doing this in Middle Tennessee for 30 years now, which honestly still surprises me sometimes when I say it out loud. Three decades. That’s a lot of parking lots.
We know 12 South pretty well at this point. Like, really well. We’ve fixed up parking areas for those cute boutiques everyone loves, handled driveways near Belmont and Hillsboro, striped parking spaces for restaurants all up and down the main strip. You get to know a neighborhood after working in it that long.
Here’s what we do:
Asphalt paving and repairs. Driveways, parking lots, roads. If it’s cracked or potholed or just plain worn out, we can fix it.
Line marking and striping. Fresh, bright lines for parking spaces. Handicap spots. Fire lanes. All of it.
Concrete work. Sidewalks, curbs, walkways. Basically anything that needs to be smooth and safe.
Road construction and maintenance. Small repairs, bigger projects. We’ve done both.
We’re not trying to be the biggest paving company in Nashville. We just want to be the one you actually trust. The one that shows up when we say we will and does the work right.
Why This Neighborhood Needs Good Paving
12 South gets a workout. I mean, have you tried finding parking on a weekend afternoon? It’s chaos in the best way possible.
But all that activity means the pavement takes a beating. And it shows.
Faded parking lot lines. When people can’t tell where one space ends and another begins, it gets messy fast. We see this all the time with older commercial lots.
Cracked residential driveways. The houses around here are gorgeous, but a lot of them have driveways that need some love. Cracks turn into bigger cracks. Water gets in. Things get worse.
Commercial lots that look tired. If you own a shop or restaurant near Sevier Park or along 12th Avenue, your parking lot is basically your first impression. A rough, cracked lot with faded lines? Not exactly welcoming.
Sidewalks and curbs that aren’t level. Nobody wants a tripping hazard outside their business or home. We fix that stuff so it’s smooth again.
The thing is, Nashville weather doesn’t help. We get hot summers, cold winters, rain, ice. Asphalt and concrete don’t love that combination. Neither does paint, which is why striping fades faster than you’d think.
Real Projects, Real People
We’ve worked all over 12 South over the years. Here’s what some folks have said:
“We hired All Star to repave the parking lot behind our coffee shop on 12th Avenue. It was cracked and honestly kind of embarrassing. They finished everything in two days, and now it looks brand new. Customers have actually commented on it, which I didn’t expect!” — Sarah, local business owner
“Our driveway was a disaster. We’re close to Edgehill Village, and every winter just destroyed it a little more. These guys came out, patched all the cracks, sealed it up. Super easy to work with. Would definitely call them again.” — Mike, homeowner near Belmont
“I manage a small retail space near the Gulch. All Star came and restriped our entire lot and added fresh handicap spaces. They were fast, the price was fair, and the work looked great.” — Jennifer, property manager
We also do bigger jobs. Full parking lot replacements. Road repairs. ADA compliant upgrades. Whatever you need, basically. Every project gets the same attention whether it’s a tiny driveway or a huge commercial lot.

What Makes Working in 12 South Different
Every neighborhood has its quirks. 12 South definitely has a few, and honestly, that’s part of what makes it great. But it also means we have to plan a little differently.
Parking is always tight. There’s just not a lot of extra room anywhere. We figure out logistics ahead of time so we’re not causing problems.
Tons of foot traffic. We section everything off with cones and signs. Safety matters, especially when people are walking by with strollers or dogs or coffee.
The charm factor. Everything here has character. Older buildings, historic homes. We match materials carefully so repairs blend in instead of sticking out.
Busy streets all the time. When we can, we schedule work during slower hours. Early mornings work well. Weekdays are usually better than weekends.
Nashville codes and rules. There are specific requirements for things like ADA striping and proper drainage. We know them. We follow them. Nobody wants to deal with code violations.

Questions People Ask Us
Can you handle jobs in tight or busy spots in 12 South?
Yeah, absolutely. Tight spaces are kind of normal around here. Narrow driveways off Kirkwood, small lots tucked behind shops on 12th Avenue. We’ve got the equipment and experience to make it work.
How fast can you get out here for paving work?
Depends on what you need. Small repairs or fresh striping? Usually within a week. Full parking lot repaving takes longer, but we’ll tell you exactly what to expect before we start.
Do you work near Sevier Park or over by Edgehill Village?
All the time. We’ve done projects all over this part of Nashville. If you’re close to either of those areas, we’re just a phone call away.
What about parking and traffic? How do you deal with that?
We plan around your schedule. For businesses, we can work early mornings or after you close. For homes, we make sure you can still get in and out. And we always use proper signage and cones to keep things safe.
Can you do same day service if it’s urgent?
Sometimes, yeah. If you’ve got a dangerous pothole or need emergency striping, we’ll do our best to fit you in quickly. Just give us a call and we’ll see what we can do.
What kind of paving projects do you actually do around here?
Pretty much everything. Driveways, parking lots, speed bumps, curbs, sidewalks, striping, asphalt repairs. If it involves pavement or concrete, we can probably handle it.
Do you charge for estimates?
Nope. We’ll come take a look at your project, answer whatever questions you have, and give you a fair quote. No pressure.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Fully licensed, bonded, and insured. You can trust us to do the job right and protect your property while we’re doing it.
What about ADA compliant striping?
Yeah, we do that all the time. We know the requirements for handicap spaces, ramps, access routes. We’ll make sure everything is up to code.
What if I need maintenance later on?
We’re always here. Sealcoating, crack filling, restriping down the road. Whatever you need. We like building long term relationships with customers instead of just doing one job and disappearing.
