How we replace an asphalt driveway

Cracked, sunken, or crumbling asphalt usually means the base under it has failed. Sealing or overlaying it buys a year or two. We remove the old asphalt, dig out soft soil, and build a compacted stone base, typically 6 inches, before hot asphalt goes on top.

We set the grade so water runs off the driveway and away from the house, then roll the asphalt smooth and edge it clean. Paver borders and Belgian block accents are common add-ons, and they keep the edges from crumbling.

What does an asphalt driveway cost?

Asphalt is usually the most affordable driveway surface. What moves the price on your driveway:

  • Size, in square feet, and the shape of the driveway
  • Removing and hauling away the old asphalt or concrete
  • How much base needs to be dug out and rebuilt
  • Slope, grading, and any drainage work
  • Paver borders, Belgian block aprons, or accent bands
  • Access for equipment and trucks

Every job is priced after we see it. The estimate is free, and we walk you through the options before you commit to anything.

Asphalt Driveways: common questions

How much does a new asphalt driveway cost?

It depends mostly on size, how much old material comes out, and how much base needs rebuilding. Every job is priced after we see it. The estimate is free, and we walk you through the options before you commit to anything.

Can you pave over my old asphalt?

Sometimes, if the base under it is solid and the problem is only on the surface. If the driveway is sinking, heaving, or cracked through, an overlay will crack the same way. We'll tell you which one you have.

How long does an asphalt driveway last?

That depends mostly on the base and drainage under it. That's why we rebuild the base instead of resurfacing over a failed one.

Should I seal a new asphalt driveway?

Yes, but not right away. Fresh asphalt needs time to cure before it's sealed. We'll tell you when.
