Our Driveway Paving & Repair Process

01

Site Evaluation

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

02

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 Norfolk Homeowners

How often should Norfolk homeowners get driveway paving & repair?
Given Norfolk's humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers averaging 88°f, most homeowners benefit from driveway paving & repair at least once a year. Tidal flooding management in low-lying neighborhoods (year-round) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Norfolk most need driveway paving & repair?
Brick colonial homes throughout Norfolk and Portsmouth and Victorian homes in Ghent and Larchmont neighborhoods are the most common home types in Norfolk 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.
