Our Driveway Paving & Repair Process

We assess existing conditions, drainage, and subbase quality to determine what preparation is needed.

Excavation & Base

Existing material is excavated to proper depth, subgrade is compacted, and a gravel base is installed and compacted.

03

Paving

Asphalt is laid hot and compacted with a roller, or concrete is poured, finished, and control joints are cut. Edges are formed clean.

04

Cure Period

Asphalt needs 24–48 hours before driving. Concrete needs 7 days for full cure; 48 hours for foot traffic.

Driveway Paving & Repair FAQ for Baton Rouge Homeowners

How often should Baton Rouge homeowners get driveway paving & repair?
Given Baton Rouge's year-round heat and humidity — avg high 91°f in summer with extreme dewpoints, most homeowners benefit from driveway paving & repair at least once a year. Year-round termite monitoring (one of worst termite cities in the US) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Baton Rouge most need driveway paving & repair?
Brick ranch homes throughout East Baton Rouge Parish and Pier-and-beam homes elevated above flood risk in older neighborhoods are the most common home types in Baton Rouge and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
Asphalt vs. concrete — which should I choose?
Asphalt: lower upfront cost ($3–$7/sq ft), easier to repair, softer in extreme heat, lasts 20–30 years with maintenance. Concrete: higher upfront cost ($6–$12/sq ft), more durable, harder to repair seamlessly, lasts 30–50 years.
How long does a new driveway last?
Asphalt lasts 20–30 years with proper maintenance including periodic sealing. Concrete lasts 30–50 years. Both depend heavily on subbase quality and drainage.
Can a cracked driveway be repaired?
Yes, though results vary. Crack filling and patching extend life. Significantly deteriorated driveways with widespread cracking, heaving, or base failure are more economically replaced.
Why do driveways sink or crack?
Poor subbase preparation, inadequate drainage, root intrusion, freeze-thaw cycling, and heavy vehicle loads are common causes. Proper base installation during paving is the best long-term investment.
