Why Homeowners Choose Asphalt Driveways

Asphalt is one of the best materials for residential driveways in California’s Central Coast.

Here’s why:

• Resists cracks and weeds better than gravel or concrete

FAQs

Do I need to remove my old driveway before installing a new one?

Not always. We can often resurface your existing asphalt if it’s structurally sound. We’ll evaluate it during the inspection.

How much does it typically cost to pave a driveway?

Most residential asphalt paving jobs range from $2.75 to $4 per square foot, depending on the size and condition of your driveway.

How long does the paving process take?

Typical driveways take 1 day for prep and 1 day for paving. Larger or more complex jobs may take longer.

Will you handle drainage issues?

Yes. Proper slope and water runoff management are part of our standard process.
