Asphalt Driveway Replacement in Vienna, VA

Summit is based in Vienna, and we know the Town has its own rules for driveways that apply on top of everything else. If your asphalt is cracked, sunken, or breaking up at the edges, we take it out, rebuild the base on compacted stone, and lay hot asphalt graded to drain. Joseph Cash gives every estimate and checks on the work while our own crew builds it.

Town of Vienna or Fairfax County?

Homes inside Town limits fall under the Town of Vienna, which maintains its own public streets and runs its own zoning. Plenty of homes with a Vienna mailing address are outside the Town, in Fairfax County, where VDOT handles the road and the county handles zoning.

For homes in the Town, the Planning and Zoning page says a driveway permit is required to expand or modify a driveway, and a separate Department of Public Works permit may be needed for work in the right-of-way. We confirm which office applies to your address first.

What Vienna's driveway regulations ask for

Section 18-419 of the Town code requires driveways to be built of permanent materials: asphalt, concrete, or grid pavers. Gravel and grass are not allowed, and other permanent permeable surfaces need sign-off from both the Zoning Administrator and the Director of Public Works.

The same section sets widths at the street right-of-way line and along the driveway, and spacing between two entrances on one lot. If your replacement changes the shape or width, we draw it to those standards before it goes to the Town.

Same footprint, better base

Many Vienna driveways are decades old and were laid on a thin base that has since settled. A like-for-like replacement keeps the footprint and fixes what is underneath: old asphalt out, soft soil dug out, a compacted stone base, typically 6 inches, and new hot asphalt set to a slope that moves water to the street. Paver or Belgian block borders are a common add-on, and they help keep asphalt edges from crumbling.
