| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | New hot-mix driveways built on a compacted 304 limestone base with a true 2.5-3 inch compacted surface. Thickness and tonnage are spelled out in your written estimate. Stamped and decorative border finishes available. We pitch every drive a quarter inch per foot so meltwater never ponds on Miami Valley clay. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Full-depth patches key into sound asphalt instead of skin patches that peel by spring. We fix sunken aprons, crumbling edges, snowplow gouges and sections heaved over wet glacial clay. We tell you honestly when a repair buys you years and when the money belongs in resurfacing instead. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Potholes cut square then tack-coated and filled with compacted hot mix. We also run infrared patching that recycles the surface in place for seamless repairs with no waiting. Ohio pothole season is real; we book fast late-winter assessments so one hole doesn't become a failed section. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | A new 1.5-2 inch compacted surface course goes over your structurally sound driveway. It is the middle path between patching and full replacement. We level and repair cracks and edge-mill at the garage and street so the overlay ties in flush. If the base is failing we say so before you spend. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Mill-and-pave; full-depth reclamation or complete tear-out with haul-away. This is the heavy-equipment side of the trade done right. Milling recovers grade at garages and curbs where an overlay would sit too high; reclaimed millings can rebuild your base or surface a farm lane instead of filling a landfill. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | When alligator cracking runs section to section the base underneath is gone and no overlay will save it. We remove the old drive; rebuild the 304 base over Miami Valley clay and pave a binder-plus-surface structure that restarts the 20-to-30-year clock, honestly quoted against the repair option. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | New parking lots and expansions for retail; HOA; church; school and industrial properties. Thickness is engineered for the traffic the lot will actually carry, from customer parking to loaded trucks at the dock. We phase work around your operating hours and coordinate OHIO811 locates on every excavation. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Potholes; failed sections; catch basin rebuilds and full overlays for commercial property managers. We work fast to get the liability off your lot. Annual maintenance programs bundle inspection with patching and drainage checks so small failures never become tenant complaints. Sweeping available with any maintenance visit. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Compacted asphalt millings make a solid, budget-smart surface for long drives. They work well for farm lanes and parking pads, a step up from gravel that binds tighter every summer. We grade, spread and roll millings to shed water and tell you plainly where hot mix is worth the difference. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip combines liquid asphalt with rolled stone chips for a textured, low-glare finish. It gives natural traction in snow on long rural drives. A classic choice at less than hot-mix cost; we also maintain and re-chip existing oil-and-stone surfaces. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | New gravel drives built in proper lifts of 304 crushed limestone over fabric. We also regrade; crown and fill potholes on lanes that washed out in spring rain. Good grading is also the first step of every future paving job, we build the base once and correctly over this clay. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Private lanes; HOA streets; townhome complexes and apartment drives paved and overlaid and maintained. One contract covers it with board-ready documentation; phased scheduling around residents and reserve-study-friendly pricing. The big-linear-footage work most driveway outfits can't staff. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | Add a parking pad for the third car; widen a tight side drive or rebuild a broken garage apron. We also pave RV pads and tie every extension into your existing asphalt with milled seamless joints. Small-footprint jobs with full-size compaction standards. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | We pave backyard basketball courts, tennis and pickleball bases, walking paths and golf cart trails dead-flat. Tight-tolerance surface courses are ready for acrylic color systems. We build the asphalt structure; your court stays true through the freeze-thaw. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically cost less per square foot due to equipment efficiency and material volume discounts. A small driveway repair may have higher per-unit costs than a full-size residential paving job.
- Surface Condition and Preparation : Existing asphalt that requires milling, removal of old material, or extensive grading adds to the overall cost. A well-prepared base ensures longevity and affects the final price of your project.
- Material Selection : Standard asphalt paving, recycled millings, tar and chip, and gravel options each have different price points. Your choice of material directly impacts durability, maintenance needs, and long-term value.
- Site Accessibility and Complexity : Projects with limited access, steep slopes, or obstacles may require additional equipment or labor. Parking lots and private roads often involve more complex grading and drainage considerations than standard driveways.
