You get a driveway or parking lot that handles Pennsylvania winters without cracking apart in two years. No more dealing with contractors who vanish halfway through the job or hit you with surprise costs.
We focus on one project at a time. That means your job gets our full attention from start to finish, not squeezed between three other jobs happening simultaneously.
The result is paving work that actually holds up. Fewer repairs, fewer headaches, and a surface that looks professional for years to come.
Productive Asphalt has been handling paving projects since 1948. Three generations of experience means we’ve seen every type of property challenge Bensalem throws at us.
We’re not the biggest paving company in Bucks County, and that’s intentional. Staying focused means we can treat every client like our most important client, whether you need a residential driveway or a complex commercial parking lot.
Our approach is straightforward: honest estimates, clear communication, and workmanship that reflects decades of doing this right. Five-star reviews on Angie’s List back up what we’re telling you.
First, we assess your property and discuss exactly what you need. Every site is different, so we create a custom approach rather than using a cookie-cutter solution.
Next comes proper preparation. This includes grading, drainage considerations, and base work that most contractors rush through. Getting the foundation right prevents problems later.
Then we install your asphalt using quality materials and proven techniques. We handle everything from small residential driveways to large commercial parking areas, adjusting our process to match your specific requirements.

You get comprehensive paving services designed for Pennsylvania conditions. This includes new asphalt installation, repairs, water management solutions, and proper grading to prevent drainage issues.
Bensalem properties face unique challenges with freeze-thaw cycles and heavy traffic patterns. We address these factors upfront rather than hoping standard approaches will work.
Whether you’re a homeowner replacing an old driveway or a business owner maintaining a parking lot, we customize our approach to your property’s specific needs and your budget requirements.
Most residential driveways take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and site conditions. Day one typically involves excavation, grading, and base preparation. Day two covers asphalt installation and finishing work.
Weather affects timing significantly. We won’t install asphalt in wet conditions or when temperatures drop below 50 degrees, as this compromises the final quality.
Complex projects with drainage issues or extensive prep work may require additional time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions change the schedule.
Commercial paving requires thicker asphalt layers and stronger base materials to handle heavier vehicle loads and constant traffic. Residential driveways typically use 2-3 inches of asphalt, while commercial lots often need 4-6 inches.
Commercial projects also involve more complex drainage systems, ADA compliance considerations, and striping requirements. The materials cost more, but they’re necessary for long-term durability under commercial use.
Both types require proper base preparation, but commercial work demands more extensive planning and engineering to meet municipal codes and handle the increased stress.
Surface cracks and minor deterioration can often be repaired with sealcoating or crack filling. However, extensive cracking, potholes, or areas where the base is failing typically require full replacement.
If water pools consistently in certain areas or if the asphalt feels soft and spongy when you walk on it, the base layer has likely failed. Patching won’t solve these underlying structural issues.
We assess each situation individually during our site visit. Sometimes a section can be repaired while other areas need replacement, which can save you money compared to redoing the entire surface.
Residential driveway paving typically ranges from $3-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions, thickness requirements, and prep work needed. Commercial projects vary more widely based on specifications and size.
Factors affecting cost include excavation requirements, base material needs, drainage work, and access challenges. Properties requiring extensive grading or utility work will cost more than straightforward installations.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs. No surprise charges or change orders unless you approve additional work that wasn’t visible during the initial assessment.
You can typically walk on new asphalt within 24 hours, but wait at least 3-7 days before driving on it. The exact timing depends on weather conditions and asphalt thickness.
Hot weather requires longer curing times, while cooler temperatures allow faster use. Heavy vehicles should stay off new asphalt for at least a week to prevent permanent indentations.
We’ll give you specific timing based on your installation conditions and weather forecast. Following these guidelines ensures your new asphalt reaches full strength and durability.
Yes, we stand behind our workmanship with warranties that vary based on project type and scope. Material defects and installation issues are covered, giving you peace of mind about your investment.
Our warranty doesn’t cover damage from excessive loads, chemical spills, or normal wear from heavy use beyond the surface’s design capacity. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered before starting work.
More importantly, our 75 years in business and five-star review history show we’re committed to making things right if problems arise. We’re not going anywhere, so you can reach us if issues develop.
