Asphalt driveway paving in Mississippi

Mississippi is hard on a driveway. Clay soils swell when they are wet and shrink when they dry out, heavy rain finds every low spot, and summer heat softens the surface. A driveway that skipped the base work shows it within a few years: ruts, cracks, and edges crumbling into the yard.

We start with the ground. Soft spots get dug out, the base is built from compacted crushed limestone, and the driveway is graded so water runs off the edges instead of soaking in. Then we lay 3 inches of asphalt and roll it down to 2.5 inches compacted. With crack filling and sealcoating every 1 to 2 years, an asphalt driveway typically lasts 20 to 30 years.

Blacktop and asphalt are the same thing; blacktop is the everyday name for asphalt pavement. Asphalt usually costs less up front than a concrete driveway, and you can drive on it in about a day instead of a week.

Driveway repair

Cracks get filled. Potholes and soft spots get cut out and rebuilt. When the base has failed across the whole driveway, we tell you replacement is the better use of your money.

Resurfacing

A worn driveway on a sound base can take a new layer of asphalt over the top after repairs, which costs less than a full tear-out.

Parking lot and road paving in Mississippi

Churches, schools, apartment communities, HOAs, businesses, and municipalities all need pavement that carries its traffic and drains. A parking lot sees delivery trucks and buses. A private road sees every resident's car and the garbage truck. A city street sees all of it. We size the base and the asphalt to the traffic each one carries, spec'd per job after we see the site.

Commercial work is scheduled around the property. We plan the work around your hours, and striping can be done at night or on weekends for some projects. The same crews handle milling when an old surface has to come off to keep curb and drain heights, and heavy-duty paving for truck yards and loading areas.

Sealcoating, crack filling, and striping in Mississippi

Sun and rain do most of the damage to asphalt in Mississippi. UV dries out the surface and turns it gray and brittle, cracks open, and rain carries water through them into the base. Once the base softens, potholes follow, and the repair costs far more than the upkeep would have.

The upkeep plan is short. New asphalt cures for 6 to 12 months before its first sealcoat. After that, cracks get filled and the pavement gets two coats of sealcoat every 1 to 2 years. On commercial lots the stripes go back down after each sealcoat, since the coating covers the old lines.

Sealcoating protects the surface, which is why it extends the life of sound pavement. It cannot fix a base that has already failed, so failed areas get repaired first.

Crack filling

Cracks are cleaned out and filled with hot-applied filler to keep water out of the base, before every sealcoat and whenever new ones open.

How much does asphalt paving cost in Mississippi?

Paving has no one-size price. The same square footage can be a quick overlay or a full rebuild depending on what is under it, so we do not quote prices over the phone or on the spot.

Every quote is free and written, with a line item for each service and its own scope, so a driveway that also gets crack filling and sealcoating shows each piece separately. For asphalt work we come out to check the grade, the soil, and the pavement you have now, then price it from the office, often the same day. Sealcoating and striping can usually be quoted from photos.

Once you approve the quote and pay the deposit, most jobs are scheduled within 2 to 3 weeks, and urgent repairs can go sooner. The paving itself usually takes 1 to 2 days, and a project that adds sealcoating and striping usually runs 2 to 5 days.

§ 07 · FAQ

Mississippi paving questions.
Straight answers.

Q · 01 How much does it cost to pave a parking lot?
+

The size of the lot, the condition of the base under it, and the traffic it carries set most of the cost. Paving over a sound lot costs far less than rebuilding one. Your written quote lists the paving, striping, and any repairs as separate line items.

Q · 02 How much does an asphalt driveway cost in Mississippi?
+

It depends on the size and shape of the driveway, what is there now, and how much base and grading work it needs. We look at the site before we price it, and the quote is free.

Q · 03 How much does PavePro charge?
+

We do not have a price list, because every site is different. You get a free, written quote with a line item for each service, often the same day after we see the property. There is no obligation and there are no hidden fees.

Q · 04 Who paves asphalt driveways in Mississippi?
+

PavePro does, with our own crews, from our locations in Madison and Jackson. We pave driveways in 46 towns across central and south Mississippi and never sub out the paving.

Q · 05 How long does an asphalt driveway last?
+

Typically 20 to 30 years with upkeep: filling cracks as they open and sealcoating every 1 to 2 years. A driveway built on a solid, well-drained base lasts the longest.

Q · 06 When can I drive on new asphalt?
+

Cars can go on it after about 24 hours and heavy trucks after 48 to 72 hours. For the next 6 to 12 months, while it cures, avoid turning your wheels in place or parking heavy loads in the same spot.

Q · 07 How soon should a new asphalt driveway be sealed?
+

Wait 6 to 12 months. New asphalt is still curing during that time, and the first sealcoat goes on after it has.

Q · 08 How often should asphalt be sealcoated?
+

Every 1 to 2 years, in two coats, with the cracks filled first. Busy parking lots sit at the short end of that range.

Q · 09 Does sealcoating extend the life of asphalt?
+

Yes, on pavement with a sound base. It shields the surface from sun, water, and oil, which slows the cracking that lets water into the base. It will not fix pavement that has already failed.

Q · 10 Is blacktop the same as asphalt?
+

Yes. Blacktop is the everyday name for asphalt pavement. Whether you call it blacktop or asphalt, it is the same material we lay on driveways and parking lots.

Q · 11 Is asphalt or concrete more expensive?
+

Asphalt usually costs less to install, and you can drive on it after about 24 hours instead of 7 days. Concrete costs more up front and can last 30 years or more. We install both, so we can price them side by side.

Q · 12 Does asphalt come in different colors?
+

Standard asphalt is black when it goes down and fades toward gray in the sun over the years. Sealcoating brings back the dark black finish.
