Decker Construction Company, established in the 1950s by Ed Decker, is a leading asphalt paving contractor based in Columbus, Ohio. The company has a rich history and has undergone several ownership changes, evolving from Marble Cliff Quarries and Medusa Aggregates to its current independent status. As of 1981, under the guidance of Roger Apple and Fritz Smith, Decker Construction has adhered to its original vision of providing high-quality, cost-effective construction services to the central Ohio community.
Decker Construction operates across a five-county area, delivering a diverse array of services through four specialized divisions: paving, construction, concrete, and asphalt maintenance. Their paving division handles a wide variety of projects ranging from driveways to highways, while the construction team focuses on road widening, excavation, underdrain and storm sewer installation. The concrete division notably emphasizes large-scale projects like wheelchair ramps. Additionally, the asphalt maintenance division provides essential services, including 24/7 street utility cut repairs and pothole fixes throughout the year.
Recognizing Columbus's potential for growth, Decker Construction has strategically diversified its offerings to support the expanding local community. The company operates a batch plant on McKinley Avenue, providing year-round asphalt materials—a unique capability in central Ohio. This allows Decker Construction to distribute essential products like Trackless Tack (NTSS-1HM) and recycled crushed aggregates. Furthermore, the Apple-Smith Corporation, functioning as Flash Fill, manufactures a fast-setting flowable backfill material ideal for utility repairs, minimizing downtime and facilitating quick restoration.
Decker Construction prides itself on its commitment to safety, quality workmanship, and timely project completion, thereby establishing itself as a trusted partner for both commercial and public sector clients in central Ohio.
