Englewood's 1960s and 1970s ranch homes sit on heavy glacial clay with driveways that are now decades past their service life, and the freeze-thaw cycles and road salt of a southwest Ohio winter are taking their toll. If your two-car drive is cracking, settling, or holding water near the garage, you are not alone, and Dayton Asphalt Paving has been fixing driveways and parking lots across the Dayton area since 2012.
Homeowners in Englewood (45322) call us because we know the Miami Valley soil, we understand the seasonal paving window from April through November, and we give honest advice about whether your drive needs repair, resurfacing, or full replacement. We are based in Dayton, we work locally, and we show up with our own crew and equipment.
Asphalt Paving in Englewood (45322)
Englewood's ranch neighborhoods sit on the same heavy glacial till clay that underlies most of the greater Dayton area. That clay holds water after the 40 inches of rain we see each year, and it moves when the ground freezes and thaws. The result is predictable: driveways crack along their downhill edges where the subgrade has settled, water pools near the garage door, and potholes erupt after a wet winter. Snowplows and road salt chew at the edges from December through March. Tight lot layouts mean a paver and roller have to be maneuvered carefully, and many of these original two-car drives were never built thick enough for today's traffic.
We have worked on hundreds of driveways in Englewood and the surrounding communities since 2012. We understand the soil, we know the seasonal constraints, and we measure and spec the thickness and base preparation your drive actually needs.

How a Job Works in Englewood
We start with a free on-site visit. We walk the drive or lot with you, measure it, look at the subgrade and drainage, and talk about what is actually happening. We take photos and notes, and we give you a written estimate with square footage, thickness, tonnage, and the price. No pressure, no surprise.
When you are ready, we schedule the work during the paving season, April through November. Our crew removes the old asphalt if needed, prepares and compacts the base, and lays new hot mix. We work around your property and your neighbors, we keep the site clean, and we do not block access longer than necessary. When we are done, we walk the finished drive with you and answer any questions.
If your drive needs repair or resurfacing instead of full replacement, we say so. Patching a pothole costs far less than replacing the whole drive, and resurfacing an overlay over a sound base can buy you ten to fifteen years for a fraction of the cost of replacement. We explain the options and let you decide.
Driveway paving in Englewood typically ranges from $6 per square foot for new installation on a prepared base, or from $4 per square foot for resurfacing an existing drive. A pothole or small patch starts at $450. Full driveway replacement runs higher because it includes removal of the old asphalt, base preparation, and proper compaction of the subgrade. The real cost drivers are the square footage, the condition of the base underneath, the thickness you need, and whether the site is easy or tight for equipment access. We give you a written estimate with all of those details spelled out. Call us at (937) 930-3543 for a free estimate, or email us with photos and your address and we can give you a ballpark figure to start.
