We Know Springfield Driveways

We’ve been handling driveway projects throughout Springfield and Union County for years. We understand how the freeze-thaw cycles affect different materials and what it takes to build a driveway that lasts here.

We’re not the crew that shows up, slaps down some asphalt, and disappears. We’re local contractors who live and work in this area. Our reputation matters because we’re part of this community.

Every project gets the same attention whether it’s a small repair or a complete new installation. Licensed, insured, and accountable for the work we do.

How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out to assess what you’re working with. We look at drainage, measure everything, and discuss your options. You get a detailed estimate that covers materials, labor, and timeline.

Next comes preparation. We excavate to the proper depth, grade for drainage, and install a solid base. This foundation work is what separates driveways that last from ones that fail in two years.

Then we install your new surface using professional equipment and quality materials. Asphalt gets compacted properly and sealed. Concrete gets finished smooth and allowed to cure correctly. We clean up completely and walk through the finished project with you.

What's Included in Every Project

Every driveway project includes proper excavation, grading, and base preparation. We handle drainage issues that cause problems down the road. All materials are professional grade, not the lightweight stuff that fails after one winter.

You get options that make sense for your situation. Asphalt for durability and cost-effectiveness. Concrete for longevity and clean appearance. Resurfacing when your base is solid but the surface needs renewal.

We pull permits when required and coordinate with utility companies if needed. The work area gets protected and cleaned up daily. You’re not left with a mess or half-finished project that drags on for weeks.

A newly paved asphalt driveway leads to a gray house. Yellow caution tape blocks the entrance, and construction materials and a white pickup truck are on the sides. Trees and dirt surround the area.
Most residential driveway installations take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day one involves excavation and base preparation. Day two is asphalt installation and compaction. Day three handles final grading and cleanup. Weather can affect timing, especially during Springfield’s wet seasons. We don’t rush the process because proper curing time is essential for long-term durability. You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, but we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy vehicles.
Both work well in Springfield’s climate when installed properly. Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better because it’s flexible. It needs resealing every 3-5 years but repairs easily. Concrete lasts longer and looks cleaner but costs more initially. It can crack in severe freeze-thaw conditions and repairs are more noticeable. For most Springfield homeowners, asphalt offers the best combination of durability, cost, and maintenance requirements. We’ll assess your specific situation and budget to recommend what makes sense.
Driveway paving costs vary based on size, material choice, and site conditions. Asphalt typically runs $3-7 per square foot installed. Concrete ranges from $6-12 per square foot. A standard two-car driveway (600 square feet) usually costs $2,000-4,500 for asphalt or $3,500-7,000 for concrete. Factors affecting price include excavation needs, drainage requirements, and access challenges. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for driveway installation in Springfield. We prefer temperatures consistently above 50 degrees for asphalt work and above 40 degrees for concrete. Summer months provide ideal curing conditions, but we can work effectively from April through October in most years. Winter installations are possible during mild periods but not recommended due to temperature requirements and potential weather delays. Planning your project for shoulder seasons (spring or fall) often provides better scheduling flexibility and can sometimes offer cost advantages.
Most driveway replacements in Springfield don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries and not changing drainage patterns. New driveways or significant expansions typically need permits from the Springfield Building Department. If your project affects sidewalks, curbs, or street access, additional approvals may be required. We handle permit applications when needed and ensure all work meets local codes. It’s always better to check requirements upfront rather than deal with violations later. We’re familiar with Springfield’s requirements and will guide you through the process.
Asphalt driveways need sealcoating every 3-5 years to protect against water penetration and UV damage. Clean oil stains promptly and fill small cracks before they expand. Avoid using rock salt in winter – sand or calcium chloride work better and won’t damage the surface. For concrete driveways, seal every 2-3 years and avoid deicing chemicals that can cause scaling. Keep drainage areas clear of debris. Address any settling or cracking quickly to prevent water infiltration that leads to bigger problems during freeze-thaw cycles.
