You pull into a smooth, even surface that doesn’t crack after one winter. Water drains where it should. Your property value goes up.
That’s what proper driveway paving looks like in Levittown, PA. Not the kind that fails in three years because the contractor cut corners on the base. The kind that lasts decades because every layer was installed with intention.
When your driveway is built to handle Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles—30 to 50 of them every winter—you’re not patching potholes every spring. You’re not watching cracks spread across your asphalt. You’re done worrying about it.
A quality asphalt driveway installation gives you curb appeal that doesn’t fade, a surface that holds up under daily use, and the confidence that comes from knowing it was done right the first time.
We’re not new to Levittown or to paving. Our roots in the asphalt industry go back to 1948, and that experience shows up in how we approach every project—whether it’s a single-car driveway or a commercial parking lot.
This is a family business. The kind where decades of hands-on knowledge get passed down, not just read out of a manual. Our crew works on one job at a time, start to finish, so you’re not competing for attention with three other properties.
Levittown homeowners know what matters: honest pricing, clear communication, and paving contractors who show up when they say they will. We’ve built our reputation on exactly that—plus five-star reviews on Angie’s List and repeat clients who keep coming back because the work holds up.
First, the old surface comes out. Whether it’s cracked asphalt, broken concrete, or something else, we remove it with the right equipment so there’s a clean slate to work with.
Next comes grading and drainage. This step matters more than most people realize. If water doesn’t drain off your driveway properly, it’s going to cause problems—fast. We grade and slope the surface so water moves away from your home and off the pavement, not into cracks where it freezes and expands.
Then the base goes in. This is the foundation that supports everything above it. A stable, compacted base prevents settling, reduces frost heave, and keeps your driveway from cracking under pressure. It’s not the part you see, but it’s the part that determines how long your driveway lasts.
After the base is set, the asphalt gets laid. Hot mix asphalt—sand, oil, and aggregate—is applied in layers and compacted with a roller to create that smooth, jet-black finish. We handle transitions to existing surfaces carefully so there’s no awkward bump where old meets new.
The whole process for a residential driveway typically takes two days: one for prep and base work, one for paving and finishing. You’re not waiting weeks. You’re getting it done.

Driveway paving in Levittown isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every property has different drainage patterns, soil conditions, and layout challenges. We tailor the approach to fit your specific situation—not the other way around.
You’re getting a paving contractor who understands what Pennsylvania winters do to asphalt. Levittown sits in Bucks County, where freeze-thaw cycles hit hard and often. Between 30 and 50 cycles every winter means your driveway needs to be built to flex, drain, and hold up under temperature swings that would crack poorly installed pavement in no time.
Our service includes site evaluation, removal of old materials, proper grading for water runoff, a compacted base layer that prevents settling, and hot mix asphalt applied and finished to create a durable surface. Whether you need a full driveway installation or driveway repair for an existing surface, you get transparent pricing—no surprise fees halfway through the project.
Levittown’s classic Cape Cod and Ranch-style homes deserve driveways that match the neighborhood’s character while standing up to real-world use. That means clean edges, smooth transitions to the street, and a finish that looks professional without being overdone.
We also handle commercial paving for parking lots and offer water management solutions, but the same principles apply: treat every project with care, communicate clearly, and build it to last.
The average cost to pave a driveway in Levittown is around $4,900, but that number moves depending on size, condition of the existing surface, and how much prep work is needed. A small single-car driveway costs less than a large two-car driveway with drainage issues.
What drives the price up? Removal of old materials, grading and drainage corrections, the thickness of the base layer, and the amount of asphalt required. If your current driveway has major cracks or settling, you’re looking at more excavation and base work, which adds to the cost.
We provide detailed estimates that break down every part of the project—materials, labor, prep work, and cleanup. No hidden fees. No surprises halfway through. You know what you’re paying for before the work starts, and the price reflects honest, competitive rates for quality work that lasts.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Pennsylvania lasts about 20 years, sometimes longer with regular maintenance. The key word there is “properly installed.” If the base isn’t stable, the drainage isn’t right, or the asphalt wasn’t compacted correctly, you’re looking at problems well before 20 years.
Pennsylvania’s climate is tough on pavement. Freeze-thaw cycles—30 to 50 of them every winter in this region—cause water to seep into cracks, freeze, expand, and break apart asphalt that wasn’t built to handle it. That’s why installation quality matters more here than in milder climates.
Maintenance extends the life of your driveway significantly. Sealcoating every two to three years protects the surface from UV damage, water infiltration, and wear from traffic. It costs a fraction of what repaving costs and can add years to your driveway’s lifespan. Ignoring maintenance? You’re looking at replacement in 15 years or less.
If you’ve got a few small cracks, repair makes sense. Fill them, seal them, and you’re good for a while. But if more than 25% of your driveway surface is damaged—large cracks, potholes, sections that have sunk or shifted—resurfacing or full replacement is the smarter move.
Resurfacing works when the base is still solid but the surface is worn. A new layer of asphalt goes over the old one, giving you a fresh finish without tearing everything out. It’s faster and less expensive than full replacement, but it only works if the foundation underneath is still doing its job.
Full replacement is necessary when the base has failed. If you’re seeing deep cracks, significant sinking, or areas where the driveway has completely broken apart, the problem isn’t just the surface—it’s what’s underneath. At that point, patching or resurfacing is just delaying the inevitable. We’ll assess your driveway honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution, not the most expensive one.
For a typical residential driveway in Levittown, the installation process takes about two days. Day one is prep work: removing the old surface, grading and sloping for drainage, and installing the compacted base layer. Day two is paving: laying the asphalt, compacting it with a roller, and finishing the edges and transitions.
That timeline assumes no major complications. If there are drainage issues that need extra work, soft spots in the soil that require additional base material, or weather delays, it might take longer. But you’re not looking at weeks of disruption—just a couple of days where you’ll need to park elsewhere.
After paving, the asphalt needs time to cure before you can drive on it. You can usually use your driveway within 24 to 48 hours, but it’s not fully cured for several months. Avoid parking heavy vehicles in the same spot repeatedly during that time, and don’t sealcoat for at least three months to a year after installation.
Water gets in, freezes, expands, and breaks the asphalt apart. That’s the short answer. Pennsylvania winters are brutal on driveways because of freeze-thaw cycles—temperature swings that cause water trapped in small cracks to freeze and push the pavement apart from the inside.
If your driveway cracks every winter, it’s usually because of poor drainage, an inadequate base, or asphalt that wasn’t thick enough to handle the stress. Water that doesn’t drain off the surface seeps into tiny cracks, and when it freezes, it expands with enough force to widen those cracks into bigger problems.
Proper installation prevents this. A stable base layer, correct grading so water runs off instead of pooling, and thick enough asphalt to withstand temperature changes all work together to keep your driveway intact through winter. Sealcoating also helps by filling small cracks before water can get in. If your driveway is cracking every year, it’s a sign something wasn’t done right during installation.
Yes. We offer discounts for seniors, military members, and first-time customers. The exact discount depends on the scope of the project, but it’s part of our approach to making quality paving accessible without cutting corners on the work itself.
Discounts don’t mean cheaper materials or rushed installation. They mean fair pricing for people who’ve served their country, contributed to their community for years, or are working with us for the first time. The same attention to detail, the same quality materials, and the same one-project-at-a-time focus apply regardless of the discount.
If you’re wondering whether you qualify, just ask during the estimate process. We keep pricing transparent and straightforward, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying and why before any work begins.
