in Richland.

New installs and full re-paves on a compacted base. 20 to 30 years with upkeep.

We pave driveways for homeowners in Richland and across Rankin County, including Metes and Bounds, Richland Heights, and the Scarbrough Road area, with crews coming from our Madison and Jackson locations.

Long-Lasting and Durable

A properly installed asphalt driveway typically lasts 20 to 30 years with crack filling and sealcoating.

Fast Installation

Most driveways are paved in 1 to 2 days, and cars can drive on them in about 24 hours.

How we do it

What moves the price

Paving in Richland

An asphalt driveway in Richland that carries a work truck

A lot of driveways park more than a car. A work truck, a trailer, or a boat puts weight on the same few spots every day: where it turns in, where it backs up, and where it sits. Tell us what you park and where, and we plan the driveway around it.

Every driveway starts with the base. We grade it to drain, then build and compact a crushed limestone base so the asphalt has something solid to sit on. The asphalt goes down 3 inches thick and is rolled to about 2.5 inches while it is still hot. The edges get compacted too, because a loose edge is where a driveway starts to break off.

Cars can usually drive on it in about 24 hours. Give heavy trucks 48 to 72 hours. New asphalt keeps curing for 6 to 12 months, so in that time avoid turning your wheels in place, and swing a trailer wide instead of cranking it around in one spot.

Compacted edges

Edges get compacted along with the middle, so the side of the driveway holds when a tire drops onto it or a trailer tracks close to the line.

Rolled while hot

The roller works the asphalt down from 3 inches to about 2.5 while it is still hot. A tight surface stands up better to heavy tires.

Graded to drain

We grade the surface so water runs off to the side instead of sitting where you park. Sealcoat after the first 6 to 12 months helps keep water out.

Replacing an old Richland driveway with new asphalt

When an old driveway is cracked through, sinking, or breaking up at the edges, paving over it puts new asphalt on a failing base, and the new surface cracks along the same lines. In that case the old driveway comes out.

We tear it out with a skid steer, haul the material away, and grade down to the base. Soft or wet spots get dug out, rebuilt with crushed limestone, and compacted again. Then we pave the driveway new, from the street to the garage or parking pad, and roll it smooth.

If the old driveway is still sound underneath and only worn on top, a new layer over it can work, and we tell you which one you have after we see it. Some homeowners also ask us to compare asphalt with a concrete driveway. Asphalt usually costs less up front and lasts 20 to 30 years with upkeep. Concrete costs more up front and can last 30 years or more. We can quote both, each as its own line item.

Down to base

The old surface is cleared and the driveway is graded down to base. Weak spots are dug out and rebuilt before any new asphalt goes on.

Our own paver and roller

Our own crew runs the paver and roller. We never sub out paving, so the company that quoted your driveway is the company that builds it.

Resurface instead

If the base is sound and only the top is worn, a new layer over the old driveway can be enough. We check before we recommend tearing anything out.

Scheduling your Richland asphalt driveway

Paving quotes start with a visit. We come to the property by appointment, look at the old surface, the grade, and where water goes, and ask what you park. The written quote follows, often the same day, with a line item for each service, each with its own scope. 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. The paving itself usually takes 1 to 2 days. If the job covers more than the driveway, like a parking pad or a turnaround, we tell you up front how long it should run.

On paving day, move your vehicles out before the crew arrives and keep the driveway clear until it is ready. Our crew lays the asphalt, rolls it, and checks the edges, then walks the finished driveway with you.

§ 04 · FAQ

Straight answers on Asphalt Driveways.

Q · 01 Can a new asphalt driveway hold my work truck and trailer?
+

Yes, when it is built for them. Tell us what you park and where it turns, and we plan the base and grade around that. Give heavy trucks 48 to 72 hours before driving on it.

Q · 02 How thick do you pave a driveway?
+

We lay 3 inches of asphalt and compact it to about 2.5 inches, over a compacted crushed limestone base.

Q · 03 Why should I avoid turning my wheels in place on new asphalt?
+

New asphalt cures for 6 to 12 months. Turning the wheels while the vehicle is stopped can scuff the surface in that time, so keep rolling when you turn.

Q · 04 Do you pave driveways in Richland Heights and Metes and Bounds?
+

Yes. We pave driveways across Richland and Rankin County. Every job is done by appointment at your property.

Q · 05 Do you need to see my driveway before you quote it?
+

For paving, yes. We look at the base, the grade, and the drainage, then send a free written quote, often the same day.

Q · 06 How soon can you start on my driveway?
+

Most driveways are scheduled within 2 to 3 weeks of the deposit, and the paving usually takes 1 to 2 days.

Q · 07 Who actually paves the driveway?
+

Our own crews. PavePro never subs out paving.

Q · 08 How long will my asphalt driveway last?
+

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.

Q · 09 Can you pave over my old driveway instead of tearing it out?
+

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.

Q · 10 When should I sealcoat my new driveway?
+

Wait 6 to 12 months so the asphalt can cure, then sealcoat it and reseal every 1 to 2 years.
