What Proper Paving Actually Gets You

You get asphalt that doesn’t crack after the first winter. No more dealing with water pooling in your driveway or watching your parking lot turn into a pothole minefield every spring.

When we install your asphalt, we’re thinking about what happens five years from now. The proper base preparation means your surface stays level. The right materials mean fewer repairs. The correct drainage means water goes where it should instead of creating ice patches that become liability headaches.

Your property looks professional. Your customers aren’t dodging puddles to get to your front door. You’re not calling contractors every other year to patch the same spots that keep failing.

Professional Paving Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your site and discuss exactly what you need. We measure, check drainage, and explain what we see. You get a clear estimate with no surprises.

Next comes proper preparation. We excavate to the right depth, install the correct base material, and compact everything properly. This foundation work determines whether your asphalt lasts two years or twenty.

Then we install the asphalt using commercial-grade equipment. We pay attention to thickness, compaction, and finishing details. The final result is smooth, properly graded, and ready to handle whatever you throw at it.

We clean up completely and walk through the finished project with you. You know exactly how to maintain it and when to call us if questions come up.

Residential Commercial Paving Services

What's Included In Every Project

Every paving job starts with proper site evaluation and preparation. We handle excavation, base installation, grading for drainage, and professional asphalt installation. You’re not paying extra for basic steps that should be standard.

We work on residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and everything in between. Whether you need a small driveway replacement or a large commercial surface, we bring the same attention to detail and quality materials.

Our service includes cleanup, final grading, and a walkthrough explaining proper maintenance. We source materials from established suppliers and use equipment sized appropriately for your project. You get professional results without the runaround.

How long does asphalt paving typically take to complete?

Most residential driveways take one to two days depending on size and site conditions. Commercial projects vary based on square footage and complexity. Weather plays a role – we won’t install asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too low because it affects the final quality. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed if conditions require adjustments. The key is allowing proper time for each step rather than rushing through to meet an artificial deadline.

What's the difference between cheap and quality asphalt installation?

The difference shows up in the base preparation and material quality. Cheap installations skip proper excavation depth, use inadequate base material, or don’t compact correctly. This leads to cracking, settling, and drainage problems within a few years. Quality installation means proper depth excavation, correct base material, thorough compaction, and appropriate asphalt thickness. You pay more upfront but avoid the cycle of constant repairs that come with shortcuts. We focus on the steps that determine long-term performance.

How soon can I drive on new asphalt?

You can typically walk on new asphalt within a few hours, but we recommend waiting 24-48 hours before driving on it. Full curing takes several days to weeks depending on weather conditions. During the first few days, avoid sharp turns, heavy loads, or parking in the same spot repeatedly as these can leave marks. We’ll give you specific guidance based on your installation and current weather conditions. Following these recommendations ensures your new asphalt maintains its smooth appearance and structural integrity.

Do you handle both residential driveways and commercial parking lots?

Yes, we handle both residential and commercial paving projects throughout Griggstown and surrounding areas. Residential work includes driveways, walkways, and small parking areas. Commercial projects include parking lots, loading areas, and access roads. Each type requires different considerations – residential focuses on curb appeal and proper drainage, while commercial emphasizes durability under heavy traffic and ADA compliance. We have the equipment and experience for both, and we adjust our approach based on your specific requirements and usage patterns.

What should I expect to pay for asphalt paving?

Pricing depends on square footage, site conditions, thickness requirements, and preparation needed. Residential driveways typically range from several thousand to mid-range thousands depending on size and complexity. Commercial projects are priced per square foot with considerations for traffic load and special requirements. We provide free estimates that break down all costs clearly. Beware of estimates that seem too good to be true – they usually involve shortcuts that cost more long-term. Our pricing reflects quality materials and proper installation methods.

How do I maintain my new asphalt to make it last?

Keep it clean and address small issues quickly. Seal coating every 2-3 years protects against weather and extends life significantly. Clean oil stains promptly as petroleum products break down asphalt over time. Fill small cracks before they become big problems – water infiltration is asphalt’s biggest enemy. Avoid heavy loads in hot weather when possible, and don’t let snow removal equipment scrape the surface. We’ll provide specific maintenance recommendations based on your installation and typical usage patterns. Proper maintenance can double your asphalt’s lifespan.
