Falls Church driveways range from short city driveways on older lots to longer ones in the Fairfax County neighborhoods that share the name. When asphalt is cracked across, sinking at the garage, or pooling water, the base has usually given out. We remove the old driveway, build a compacted stone base, typically 6 inches, and lay hot asphalt sloped so the water goes where it should.
City of Falls Church or Fairfax County
The City of Falls Church is an independent city, but many homes with a Falls Church mailing address are in Fairfax County. Inside the City, any work in the City right-of-way, such as a driveway apron or a curb break, needs a permit from the Department of Public Works, and the City's general conditions require that right-of-way work be bonded. In the Fairfax County parts of Falls Church, aprons on state-maintained streets go through VDOT. We confirm which before we quote.
Where the water goes in Falls Church
Storm drains in the City empty into local streams, Tripps Run and Four Mile Run, and from there to the Potomac and the Chesapeake Bay. On a small lot, a driveway that sheds water toward the house or the neighbor becomes everyone's problem.
We set the grade so water runs off the asphalt and toward the street or a planned outlet, not into the garage, the basement stairs, or the yard next door. If water needs a better path, we tell you during the estimate.
Rebuild or resurface?
If the asphalt is worn on top but the driveway is flat and solid, resurfacing can be enough. If it is cracked in a web pattern, sunken in the wheel paths, or broken at the edges, the base has failed and a new topcoat will crack the same way. We tell you which one you have. When it is a rebuild, our own crew does the whole job, and the work carries Summit's 5-year workmanship warranty.
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 in Falls Church: common questions
Do I need a permit for driveway work in the City of Falls Church?
For anything in the City right-of-way, yes. The Department of Public Works issues right-of-way permits, which cover work like driveway aprons and curb breaks, and the City requires bonding for that work. The driveway on your own lot may not need one. We confirm with the City before quoting.
My address says Falls Church. Which rules apply?
It depends where the lot sits. Inside the City of Falls Church, the City handles permits. Many Falls Church addresses are in Fairfax County, where VDOT handles aprons on state roads and the county handles zoning. Your tax bill shows which, and we check during the site visit.
How much does an asphalt driveway cost in Falls Church?
It depends on size, how much old asphalt or concrete comes out, how much base needs rebuilding, grading, borders, and whether apron work and a City permit are involved. Summit does not publish set prices. Joseph looks at the driveway and gives you a free estimate.
Can you fix water pooling at the bottom of my driveway?
Usually, yes. Pooling at the garage or the low end of a driveway comes from the grade. When we replace the driveway, we reset the slope so water leaves the paving. If the lot needs more, such as a drain, we explain the options before you decide.
