Proper grading is key to preventing water damage and long-term cracking. Our experienced crew ensures that every paving job starts with a stable, well-drained foundation for a surface that performs for years.
Quality asphalt paving begins with proper site preparation. Our team carefully excavates the existing surface, removes old asphalt or deteriorated materials, and grades the area to ensure proper drainage. Pennsylvania's freeze-thaw cycles make drainage absolutely critical—water that collects beneath asphalt will freeze, expand, and cause premature failure. We pay careful attention to slope, ensuring water flows away from structures and doesn't pool on the surface.
The base layer is the foundation of every successful asphalt installation. We install crushed stone aggregate to proper depth specifications, typically 4-8 inches depending on the application and soil conditions. This base provides stability, supports the weight of vehicles, and facilitates drainage. Our crews use professional compaction equipment to achieve optimal density—inadequate compaction is a leading cause of premature asphalt failure that we won't compromise on.
We use premium hot-mix asphalt designed for Pennsylvania's climate. Residential driveways typically receive 2-3 inches of compacted asphalt, while commercial applications require 3-4 inches or more depending on traffic loads. Timing is critical—asphalt must be installed at proper temperatures for optimal compaction and bonding. Our experienced paving crews work efficiently to spread and compact the asphalt while it's at ideal working temperature, creating a smooth, dense surface that resists water penetration and traffic wear.
Professional finishing makes the difference between adequate paving and exceptional results. We carefully hand-work edges, transitions, and detail areas where equipment can't reach. Proper edging prevents premature edge failure and creates clean, professional lines. We also ensure proper transitions to existing surfaces, garage floors, and concrete aprons. The result is an asphalt surface that looks professionally finished and performs reliably from day one.
Bucks County experiences 30-50 freeze-thaw cycles each winter—one of the most demanding climates for asphalt pavement. Water that penetrates the surface freezes, expands with tremendous force, and creates cracks and deterioration. Summer temperatures cause oxidation and fading. This climate variability makes proper installation techniques absolutely critical for long-term performance.
Asphalt Services understands these challenges from 25+ years of local experience. We install asphalt with adequate thickness to resist cracking, ensure proper drainage to prevent water infiltration, use quality materials designed for temperature extremes, and create surfaces that perform reliably through Pennsylvania’s demanding seasons. Contractors without local experience often use techniques appropriate for milder climates—resulting in premature failure and costly repairs.
Not every worn surface requires complete replacement. Asphalt resurfacing (also called overlay) involves milling off the top layer and installing new asphalt over the existing base—typically costing 40-60% less than full replacement. However, resurfacing only works when the base remains stable and structural problems haven’t developed.
During our free assessment, we evaluate whether your pavement is a candidate for resurfacing or requires complete replacement. We look for base failure, severe cracking patterns, drainage problems, and structural issues. Our honest assessment helps you make informed decisions—we won’t push unnecessary full replacement when resurfacing will provide years of additional service, and we won’t recommend resurfacing when underlying problems will cause rapid failure.
Not sure if it’s time to repave? Look out for these common signs:
If you’re seeing one or more of these issues, it may be more cost-effective to repave instead of patching. Our team can inspect your surface and give honest advice on the best solution.
We source premium hot-mix asphalt from certified suppliers who maintain consistent quality standards. The asphalt mix includes carefully sized aggregates bound with asphalt cement designed for our climate. We don’t use recycled asphalt or inferior mixes that some contractors substitute to lower costs—these materials may initially look acceptable but fail prematurely under Bucks County’s demanding conditions.
Our commitment to quality extends beyond the asphalt itself. We use properly graded base materials, professional compaction equipment, and proven installation techniques. This combination of quality materials and skilled installation creates asphalt surfaces that perform reliably for 20-30 years with proper maintenance—significantly longer than installations that cut corners on materials or technique.
New asphalt represents a significant investment. Proper maintenance extends pavement life and protects that investment. We recommend sealcoating 12-18 months after installation, then every 2-3 years. This protective coating prevents water penetration, guards against UV damage, and blocks oil and gas spills that deteriorate asphalt binder. Regular sealcoating can extend your pavement’s lifespan by 25% or more—adding 5-7 years to a properly maintained surface.
Our maintenance programs are customized to your specific needs and usage patterns. Residential driveways require less frequent attention than commercial parking lots with heavy traffic. We assess your property, consider local factors that affect pavement aging, and recommend maintenance schedules designed to maximize your return on investment.
Every asphalt paving project begins with a comprehensive site visit and detailed estimate. We evaluate existing conditions, measure the area, assess drainage and access, and discuss your specific needs. Our written estimates clearly explain scope of work, materials to be used, project timeline, and total cost with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
We know that asphalt paving represents a major investment for property owners. That's why we provide transparent pricing that allows you to make informed decisions. We'll explain factors that affect cost—excavation depth, base preparation, asphalt thickness, site access, and any special requirements. You'll understand exactly what you're paying for and why the investment makes sense for long-term value.

Asphalt paving costs in Bucks County typically range from $3-7 per square foot for residential driveways, with commercial parking lots varying based on size and specifications. Several factors affect your specific cost: existing surface condition requiring removal, excavation depth needed, base material quantity and type, asphalt thickness (residential typically 2-3 inches, commercial 3-4 inches), site accessibility for equipment, and drainage requirements. Complex sites with challenging access or extensive grading needs will cost more. Asphalt Services provides free detailed estimates that clearly explain all cost factors. Call (215) 752-2346 for a precise quote based on your property’s specific conditions.
Professional asphalt paving follows a specific process to ensure long-lasting results. First, we excavate and remove existing surface material to proper depth. Second, we grade the area ensuring proper drainage slope away from buildings. Third, we install and compact crushed stone base material (typically 4-8 inches). Fourth, we apply hot-mix asphalt at proper temperature (2-3 inches for driveways, 3-4 inches for commercial). Fifth, we compact the asphalt using professional rollers while material is at optimal temperature. Finally, we hand-finish edges and transitions, ensure smooth joints, and allow proper curing time before use. Each step is critical—skipping or rushing any phase compromises the final result.
Most residential driveway paving projects take 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers asphalt installation and finishing. Larger or complex projects may require additional time. Commercial parking lots vary widely based on size—small lots may take 2-4 days, while large facilities can require 1-2 weeks. Weather affects timing since asphalt requires temperatures above 50°F for proper installation. You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, though we recommend avoiding heavy loads and sharp turns for several days. Full curing takes several months, but the surface is usable much sooner.
The optimal season for asphalt paving in Bucks County is late spring through early fall, typically May through October. Asphalt requires warm temperatures (above 50°F consistently) for proper compaction and curing. Late spring (May-June) is ideal because ground has warmed and weather is stable. Summer (July-August) works well but scheduling can be tight as demand peaks. Early fall (September-October) offers excellent conditions before cold weather. Winter paving (November-March) is not recommended except for emergency repairs, as cold temperatures prevent proper compaction and bonding. Plan ahead and contact us early in the season to reserve your preferred timeframe.
Choose complete asphalt paving (full replacement) when your surface has extensive cracking, potholes, base failure, poor drainage, or has exceeded its useful life. Paving involves removing everything, installing new base, and applying fresh asphalt—costing $3-7 per square foot but lasting 20-30 years. Choose resurfacing (overlay) when your base remains stable, you have only surface wear or minor cracking, and drainage is adequate. Resurfacing mills off 1-2 inches and applies new asphalt over existing base—costing 40-60% less and lasting 10-15 years. During our free assessment, we evaluate your specific situation and provide honest recommendations. We won’t push expensive replacement when resurfacing works, and we won’t recommend resurfacing when base problems will cause premature failure.
Several factors determine asphalt paving longevity. Quality base preparation is most critical—properly compacted stone base prevents settling and failure. Adequate asphalt thickness resists cracking (2-3 inches minimum residential, 3-4 inches commercial). Proper drainage prevents water infiltration that causes freeze-thaw damage. Quality hot-mix asphalt designed for local climate performs better than inferior mixes. Professional installation techniques including proper compaction at correct temperatures. Finally, regular maintenance including sealcoating every 2-3 years protects against water, UV damage, and chemicals. Asphalt Services focuses on all these factors, which is why our installations routinely last 20-30 years versus 10-15 years for installations that cut corners on any of these critical elements.
Yes, Asphalt Services handles all necessary permits for asphalt paving projects throughout Bucks County. Permit requirements vary by township and project scope. Driveway work typically requires permits in most municipalities, especially when changing grade, width, or drainage. Commercial projects usually require more extensive permitting including stormwater management plans. We’re familiar with requirements in Langhorne, Yardley, Newtown, Levittown, Bensalem, Doylestown, and communities throughout Bucks County. During your estimate, we’ll explain what permits your project requires, handle the application process, and ensure full compliance with local codes. This expertise prevents delays and ensures your project proceeds smoothly from start to finish.
You can typically walk on new asphalt paving immediately after installation and drive on it within 24-48 hours. However, asphalt continues curing for several months and remains somewhat soft during this period. For the first week, avoid parking in the same spot repeatedly, making sharp turns, or driving heavy vehicles on the surface. During the first month, be careful with kickstands, jack stands, and concentrated loads that can create impressions. Avoid power steering while stationary. For commercial parking lots, we can install and open sections progressively to minimize business disruption. After 6-12 months when asphalt has fully cured, you can use the surface normally without restrictions. We provide detailed care instructions after installation.
