Built to Last: Why Harrelson Construction Trusts LeeBoy Pavers for Over 60 Years
When it comes to commercial asphalt paving, consistency and uptime matter just as much as output. For Harrelson Construction, every job, whether it’s a commercial parking lot or a municipal roadway, depends on asphalt equipment that can perform day after day without slowing the crew down. That’s why, since 1964, they’ve relied on LeeBoy asphalt pavers.
A Legacy of Trust
Harrelson Construction has built its reputation on quality work, and that starts with the machines they run. Over the years, LeeBoy has remained a constant in their fleet, a testament to the brand’s durability and performance in the field.
“LeeBoy is all I ever run,” the Harrelson operator shared. “I’m happy with LeeBoy and wouldn’t run anything else. The product is the best there is as far as I’m concerned.”
That kind of loyalty isn’t built overnight. It comes from years of dependable results on real job sites.
Proven Performance of LeeBoy Asphalt Paver Machines in Commercial Paving
One of the core machines in Harrelson’s lineup is the LeeBoy 1000G, a compact asphalt paver built for commercial work and tight jobsites. Over the past few years alone, Harrelson has placed 10,000 to 15,000 tons of material with their 1000G.
“It’s a workhorse,” they explained, and the numbers back it up. That kind of output, job after job, is a big reason the 1000G continues to earn its place in their fleet.
Stepping Up with the LeeBoy 8510E: High-Capacity Asphalt Paver for Contractors
As their workload has grown, Harrelson has also added the LeeBoy 8510E to take on larger and more demanding paving projects. Designed as a staple among commercial paving contractors, the 8510E delivers precise asphalt placement and a smooth, consistent mat.
“Even though I have a 1000, I would never go back to anything less than the 8510E,” the Harrelson operator said. “It’s a world of a difference, and I love it.” With its larger hopper capacity and wider conveyor system, the 8510E helps Harrelson maintain consistent material flow and higher production between truckloads.
Why It Matters
For paving contractors, the right paver can mean the difference between meeting expectations and exceeding them. Harrelson Construction’s long-term experience with LeeBoy, from the dependable 1000G to the high-capacity 8510E, shows how reliable machines translate into real-world productivity and quality on the job.
With LeeBoy machines in their fleet, Harrelson continues to deliver the quality and consistency their customers expect, project after project, year after year.
