Asphalt Paving
Why You Should Repave an Asphalt Driveway
Over time, asphalt driveways naturally deteriorate due to exposure to weather, traffic, and aging materials. Repaving your driveway can offer several important benefits:
1. Repair Extensive Damage
Cracks, potholes, and crumbling edges are signs of structural damage. If more than 25–30% of the surface is compromised, patching is no longer cost-effective. Repaving ensures a smooth, solid surface and prevents further deterioration.
2. Improve Safety
Uneven or broken pavement creates tripping hazards and can damage vehicles. A freshly repaved driveway eliminates these risks, providing a safer surface for walking, driving, and parking.
3. Boost Curb Appeal
Your driveway is one of the first things people see. A clean, newly repaved surface can significantly improve the appearance of your home and increase property value.
4. Enhance Drainage
Over time, an old driveway may settle or slope incorrectly, leading to poor drainage and water pooling. Repaving can restore proper grading and prevent water damage to your home’s foundation.
5. Extend Lifespan
A repaved driveway can last 15–20 years with proper maintenance. It provides a fresh start, especially if the base is still in good condition, saving money in the long run compared to ongoing repair
