Asphalt Paving Services Across Central Virginia
Driveways, commercial parking lots, overlays, and private roads — installed by a 4th-generation crew that grades, bases, and compacts every job to spec.
Asphalt Driveway Paving
New asphalt driveways and full repaving for homes across Richmond, Chesterfield, Henrico, and Hanover. Every driveway is built on a compacted 4–6 inch stone base with a hot-mix asphalt surface and dual-roller compaction — so it holds up to Virginia freeze-thaw winters.
Commercial Parking Lot Paving
Parking lot paving, resurfacing, and repair for retail, office, church, and HOA properties. We handle subgrade drainage, ADA-compliant line striping, and phased schedules that keep your lot open while we work.
Asphalt Overlay & Resurfacing
When the base is still sound, a 2-inch asphalt overlay restores a worn driveway or lot for a fraction of full replacement — and adds 8 to 12 years of service life without a full tear-out.
Private Roads & Asphalt Millings
Full-depth asphalt and dust-free recycled millings for private lanes, farm roads, and long rural driveways across Central Virginia — graded, crowned, and compacted for proper drainage.
Asphalt Paving Built for Virginia's Climate
Asphalt fails in Virginia for one reason more than any other: a base that was never built to handle our soil. Central Virginia's red clay swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries, and the region cycles through 30 to 50 freeze-thaw events every winter. Pave over that without a properly compacted stone base and the surface cracks within a few seasons. We start every asphalt paving project — driveway or parking lot — with grading, drainage, and a 4 to 6 inch compacted stone base before a single load of hot-mix asphalt is laid.
For homeowners, that means an asphalt driveway that stays smooth and crack-free for decades. For property managers, it means a commercial parking lot with proper drainage, ADA-compliant striping, and a phased schedule that keeps your business open. When an existing surface is worn but structurally sound, an asphalt overlay restores it without the cost of a full rebuild — and routine sealcoating every few years protects the investment.

Virginia Asphalt Paving FAQs
How much does asphalt paving cost in Virginia?
Most residential asphalt driveways in Central Virginia run $3 to $6 per square foot for a full installation — grading, a compacted stone base, and a 2 to 3 inch hot-mix surface. A typical 1,000 square foot driveway lands between $3,000 and $6,000. Commercial parking lots are priced by square footage, base condition, and striping scope. We give every customer a written, line-item estimate before any work begins.
How long does a new asphalt driveway take to cure?
You can usually drive on a new asphalt driveway within 24 to 48 hours. Full curing takes 30 to 90 days as the surface continues to harden, and we recommend waiting 6 to 12 months before the first sealcoat so the asphalt can cure fully.
How long does asphalt paving last in Virginia?
A properly installed asphalt driveway lasts 20 to 30 years in Virginia when it is sealed every 2 to 4 years and cracks are filled early. The base is what determines lifespan — which is why we never pave over a failed base.
