Free asphalt driveways quotes, anywhere in central and south Mississippi.
New installs and full re-paves on a compacted base. 20 to 30 years with upkeep.
Asphalt driveways cost far less than concrete, so you get a high-quality surface on a reasonable budget.
A properly installed asphalt driveway typically lasts 20 to 30 years with crack filling and sealcoating.
Most driveways are paved in 1 to 2 days, and cars can drive on them in about 24 hours.
Small cracks seal up quickly and resurfacing costs a fraction of full replacement.
| typical thickness | 3 inches laid, 2.5 inches compacted |
|---|---|
| base material | Compacted crushed limestone |
| cure time | Cars in about 24 hours, heavy trucks in 48 to 72 hours, full structural cure 6 to 12 months |
Start with how you use the driveway. Two cars side by side, a boat or camper trailer, a work truck, or a spot for guests all change the width and layout. A turnaround or parking pad can save you from backing into the street every morning.
Then think about water. A driveway is a large hard surface, and every drop that lands on it runs somewhere. We lay out the grade so it drains away from the house and garage and toward the yard, the ditch, or a drain.
Last is the connection to the street. Some cities and counties have rules for the apron where a driveway meets a public road, and many HOAs have their own standards. Check both before the job is scheduled so nothing has to be changed after the asphalt is down.
The asphalt you see is the last layer. What holds it up is the ground and the base underneath, and that is where most driveway failures start.
We grade the site, find soft spots, and dig out ground that won't hold. Mississippi clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries, so weak spots that get paved over tend to show up later as cracks and sunken areas. Once the subgrade is solid, we place and compact a crushed limestone base.
On top of that goes hot asphalt at 3 inches laid, 2.5 inches compacted, rolled tight with clean edges and transitions at the garage and street.
A new driveway is a full build: grading, base, and fresh asphalt, either on bare ground or after the old driveway is torn out. It is the right call when there is no driveway yet, or when the existing one has failed down to the base.
If your asphalt is worn and cracked on top but the base is still solid, resurfacing puts a new layer over the old one for less tear-out. If the damage is in a few defined spots, driveway repair fixes those areas and leaves the good asphalt alone.
If you have a gravel driveway now, the existing stone can often become part of the base. See gravel to asphalt conversion for how that works. We tell you which option fits after we see the driveway.
Two driveways of the same size can price very differently. These are the factors that set the number:
Someone comes out to check the grade, soil, and any existing pavement, and then we send a free, written, itemized quote with no hidden fees.
Cars can usually drive on a new driveway after about a day. Keep heavy trucks off for 48 to 72 hours.
The asphalt keeps curing for 6 to 12 months, and it stays softer than older pavement during that time, especially on hot afternoons. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the car is sitting still, park in slightly different spots, and set kickstands, trailer jacks, and ramps on a board. Keep heavy loads off the edges.
Once it has cured, sealcoat it and reseal every 1 to 2 years. Fill cracks while they are small with crack filling so water stays out of the base.
A driveway looks the same on day one whether it was built right or not. The difference shows up in a few years. These questions sort it out up front:
Our answers: our own crews do the paving, and we never sub it out. Soft spots get dug out and rebuilt on a compacted crushed limestone base. Driveway asphalt is 3 inches laid, 2.5 inches compacted. We plan drainage at the site visit, the quote is free, written, and itemized, and we are licensed and insured with general liability and workers' comp.

For most driveways, paving takes about 1 to 2 days. Weather and driveway size can affect that, but we keep you updated every step of the way.
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.
It depends on the size, what is there now, and how much base work the driveway needs. We do not quote prices on the phone or on the spot; we look at the site and send a free written quote.
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.
Yes. We grade the gravel, keep what is compacted and in good shape as part of the base, rebuild weak spots with crushed limestone, and pave over it.
Wait 6 to 12 months so the asphalt can cure, then sealcoat it and reseal every 1 to 2 years.
