The driveway is the first thing anyone sees when they pull up to your house. A cracked, patched, or crumbling one drags down the whole front of the property. A new asphalt driveway, black and edged clean at the street and the garage, does the opposite. Whether you are selling soon or staying for good, it is one of the first things people notice.
What makes it last is underneath. Before any asphalt goes down, the crew digs out soft spots and builds a compacted crushed limestone base, graded so water runs off the edges instead of sitting under the driveway. Then 3 inches of asphalt are laid and rolled down to 2.5 inches compacted. Skimp on that ground work and even good asphalt starts to crack and settle.
Asphalt usually costs less up front than concrete, and you can drive on it after about 24 hours. Our own crews do the paving from start to finish. We never sub it out. If you would rather have concrete, we pour concrete driveways too, with our own employees.

Driveway repair
Hot asphalt is laid at 3 inches and rolled to 2.5 inches compacted, so the surface comes out dense, smooth, and ready to hold its shape under daily traffic.
Driveway paving
Edges are compacted and finished along the lawn, the street, and the garage, so the sides of the driveway hold up as well as the middle does.
Paving in FlowoodCars can go on a new driveway after about 24 hours, and heavy trucks after 48 to 72 hours. That is the easy part. The asphalt keeps curing for 6 to 12 months, and while it does, the surface stays softer than it will be later. Most homeowners never notice the difference, but it changes how you should use the driveway for a while.
During that time, avoid turning your wheels while the car is standing still. Roll forward a little, then turn. It is a small habit, and it keeps the surface smooth while the asphalt hardens. The same goes for anyone who visits: let them know to back out straight.
Once it has cured, the driveway gets its first sealcoat, in two coats, after any cracks are filled. From then on, sealcoat every 1 to 2 years and fill cracks as they open, before water gets under them. With that upkeep, an asphalt driveway typically lasts 20 to 30 years, and it keeps the dark finish that made the house look sharp the day it was paved.
Keep cars off for about 24 hours and heavy trucks off for 48 to 72 hours. After that, the driveway is ready for everyday coming and going.
How we pave
For 6 to 12 months the asphalt is still curing. Avoid turning your wheels in place during that stretch, and the surface stays smooth as it hardens.
Driveway care
Fill cracks as they open and sealcoat every 1 to 2 years. That routine upkeep is what carries an asphalt driveway to 20 to 30 years of use.
Driveway sealcoatingDriveway paving is quoted after we see it. We come to your home by appointment, look at the old surface and how water moves across it, and measure the area to be paved. If you are thinking about widening it or adding a parking pad, show us where.
The quote is free and written, often the same day, with a line item for each service, each with its own scope. If the driveway also needs a repair at the street or a wider parking pad, those show up as their own lines, so you can decide what to do now and what can wait. That way the quote matches the job you actually want.
We don't give prices over the phone. Once you approve the quote and pay the deposit, most driveways are scheduled within 2 to 3 weeks, and the paving itself usually takes 1 to 2 days. Urgent repairs, like a broken edge at the street, can go sooner. If you also want an estimate on concrete, ask for both and compare them side by side.

Yes. We pave driveways for homeowners across Flowood and Rankin County, with our own crews from our Madison and Jackson locations.
Cars can use it after about 24 hours. Heavy trucks should wait 48 to 72 hours.
New asphalt cures for 6 to 12 months and stays softer while it does. Turning the wheels while the car is standing still can mark the surface.
We lay 3 inches of asphalt and roll it to 2.5 inches compacted, over a compacted crushed limestone base.
A clean black driveway with finished edges changes how the front of a house looks. It also gets rid of the cracks and patches that make an older driveway look worn.
No. Our own crews pave every driveway. We never sub out paving.
Photos help, but driveway paving is quoted after we see it in person, by appointment. Sealcoating can usually be quoted from photos.
With proper care, you are looking at 20 to 30 years of use. Sealcoating every 1 to 2 years and repairing cracks as they appear makes all the difference.
Asphalt is usually more affordable, faster to install, and easier to repair. Concrete lasts longer but costs a lot more up front.
Sometimes. If the base under it is still solid, a new layer of asphalt over the old one can work. If the old driveway is cracked through or sinking, it has to come out first so the new one isn't built on a failing base.
Wait 6 to 12 months so the asphalt can cure, then sealcoat it and reseal every 1 to 2 years.
