Driveway Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we’ll assess your current driveway situation and discuss what you’re looking to achieve. We’ll measure the area, check drainage, and explain your options for both asphalt and concrete solutions.

Next comes the preparation work – and this is where many contractors cut corners. We excavate to the proper depth, install the right base materials, and ensure proper grading for drainage. This foundation work determines how long your driveway will last.

Then we install your new surface using quality materials designed for our local climate. Whether you choose asphalt or concrete, we follow proper installation procedures and allow adequate curing time. You’ll know exactly what to expect and when you can start using your new driveway.

Residential Driveway Paving Services

Complete Driveway Solutions for Your Home

We handle everything from new driveway installation to resurfacing existing surfaces that still have good bones. Our asphalt driveway paving works well for most residential applications, while concrete driveway paving offers additional design options and longevity.

If your current driveway just needs help, we also provide driveway resurfacing services and targeted repairs. Sometimes a full replacement isn’t necessary – we’ll give you an honest assessment of what makes sense for your situation and budget.

Every project includes proper site preparation, quality materials, and cleanup when we’re finished. We’re not interested in quick fixes that’ll have you calling someone else in two years. You’re investing in a solution that should last decades with basic maintenance.

How long does a new driveway installation take to complete?

Most residential driveway installations take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers the actual paving or concrete pour. We then need time for proper curing – you can usually walk on asphalt within 24 hours, but should wait 3-5 days before driving on it. Concrete requires about a week before it’s ready for vehicle traffic. Weather can affect these timelines, and we’d rather wait for proper conditions than rush a job that won’t last.

What's the difference between asphalt and concrete driveway paving costs?

Asphalt typically costs less upfront – usually 30-50% less than concrete for basic installations. However, concrete lasts longer and requires less maintenance over time. Asphalt needs resealing every 3-5 years, while concrete can go decades with minimal care. The best choice depends on your budget, how long you plan to stay in your home, and your maintenance preferences. We’ll walk through both options during your estimate so you can make the decision that makes sense for your situation.

Can you install a driveway over my existing one?

Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of your current driveway. If the base is solid and the existing surface is just worn or cracked, an overlay might work. However, if there are drainage issues, significant settling, or structural problems, we’ll need to remove the old surface and start fresh. Trying to overlay a failing driveway just transfers those problems to your new surface. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the approach that’ll give you the best long-term results.

How do I maintain my new driveway after installation?

For asphalt driveways, plan to sealcoat every 3-5 years to protect against weather and extend the life of your surface. Keep it clean of debris and address any small cracks quickly before they become bigger problems. Concrete driveways need less regular maintenance but benefit from occasional cleaning and sealing every few years. Both surfaces should be kept clear of snow and ice using appropriate materials – avoid rock salt on concrete when possible. We’ll give you specific maintenance guidelines based on your installation type and local conditions.

What happens if there are drainage problems with my new driveway?

Proper drainage is built into every driveway we install. We grade the surface to direct water away from your home and toward appropriate drainage areas. If your property has challenging drainage conditions, we’ll address those during the design phase rather than hoping they won’t cause problems later. This might involve installing drainage systems, adjusting grades, or modifying the driveway layout. Good drainage isn’t optional – it’s essential for a driveway that’ll last. We guarantee our work includes proper water management for your specific site conditions.

Do I need permits for driveway installation in Riverdale?

Most driveway replacements don’t require permits in Riverdale if you’re staying within the existing footprint. However, new driveways, significant expansions, or changes that affect drainage may need approval. We’re familiar with local requirements and will handle any necessary permits as part of your project. This includes ensuring proper setbacks, drainage compliance, and any other local codes. You don’t need to worry about navigating the permit process – we’ll take care of the paperwork and make sure everything meets Riverdale’s requirements before we start work.
