You’re not just getting a new driveway or parking lot. You’re getting a surface that won’t buckle in the first winter or crack apart by summer.
Proper asphalt installation means the right base, the right materials, and the right crew doing the work. That’s what separates a driveway that lasts 20+ years from one that needs repairs in three. When the job’s done right from the start, you’re not calling someone back to fix what should’ve been handled the first time.
Your property looks better. Your vehicles have a smooth, safe surface. And you’re not dealing with potholes, drainage issues, or crumbling edges down the line. That’s the difference between asphalt paving done fast and asphalt paving done right.
We’ve been in this industry since 1948—that’s over 75 years of family tradition, hands-on experience, and a reputation built on actually showing up and doing what we say we’ll do. Based right here in Bucks County, we’ve paved driveways, parking lots, and commercial sites throughout Croydon, PA and the surrounding area.
Here’s how we work: one job at a time. Our full crew focuses on your project—not three others at once. You get personalized service, clear updates, and a team that treats your property with the same care we’d want for our own. Whether it’s a residential driveway or a large commercial lot, every project gets the same level of attention.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re paying for quality materials, experienced crews, and work that doesn’t need to be redone in a few years. Croydon property owners choose us because they know we’ll be straight with them, show up when we say we will, and deliver results that hold up.
First, we come out and take a look. We’ll assess your property, talk through what you need, and give you an honest estimate—no pressure, no upselling. If your driveway just needs resurfacing instead of a full replacement, we’ll tell you that.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule the work and stick to it. Site prep comes first: grading, drainage, and a solid base layer. Cutting corners here is where most paving jobs fail, so we don’t. Then comes the asphalt installation—proper thickness, even coverage, and careful compaction to make sure everything settles correctly.
After the asphalt is laid, we handle grading and final touches. You’ll know exactly what’s happening at every step because we keep you in the loop. When we’re done, your driveway or parking lot is ready to handle traffic, weather, and years of use without falling apart.

Residential driveway paving, commercial parking lots, industrial sites—we handle it all. That includes new installations, resurfacing, repairs, sealcoating, and water management solutions. If it involves asphalt, we’ve done it.
Croydon properties deal with freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and temperature swings that can wreck poorly installed asphalt. That’s why base preparation matters so much here. We make sure water drains properly, the base is compacted correctly, and the asphalt thickness matches the load it’ll carry. Residential driveways get different treatment than commercial lots that see truck traffic daily.
We also offer discounts for seniors, military, and first-time customers because we believe in taking care of the people who take care of this community. And if something’s not right, we make it right—no runaround, no excuses. You’re working with a contractor who’s been around long enough to know that reputation matters more than a quick sale.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Croydon, PA should last 20 to 30 years with regular maintenance. The key word is “properly installed.” If the base isn’t prepared correctly or the asphalt layer is too thin, you’ll see problems much sooner.
Pennsylvania weather is tough on asphalt—freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and temperature extremes all take a toll. That’s why base preparation and drainage are so critical. A solid foundation prevents cracking, settling, and water damage that shorten your driveway’s lifespan. Regular sealcoating every few years also protects the surface from UV rays, chemicals, and moisture, adding years to your investment.
If you’re getting quotes and one contractor is significantly cheaper than the others, ask what they’re cutting. It’s usually the base prep, asphalt thickness, or quality of materials—and those shortcuts cost you more in repairs down the line.
Resurfacing means adding a new layer of asphalt over your existing driveway. It’s a good option if your current surface has minor cracks and wear but the base is still solid. Full replacement means tearing out the old asphalt, fixing any base issues, and installing a completely new driveway from the ground up.
Here’s how to know which one you need: if you have widespread cracking, potholes, drainage problems, or areas where the asphalt is sinking, resurfacing won’t fix it. You’re just covering up deeper problems that’ll come back fast. But if your driveway is mostly intact with surface-level wear, resurfacing can extend its life for several more years at a fraction of the cost.
An experienced paving contractor will be honest about which option makes sense for your situation. If someone’s pushing a full replacement when resurfacing would work, or trying to resurface a driveway that clearly needs to be torn out, that’s a red flag.
Most residential driveways in Croydon, PA cost between $3,000 and $7,000 depending on size, condition, and what needs to be done. The national average runs about $7 to $15 per square foot, but your actual cost depends on several factors: the size of your driveway, whether you need excavation or grading, the thickness of asphalt required, and site accessibility.
A standard two-car driveway is around 600 square feet. If you’re doing a full installation with proper base prep, you’re looking at the higher end of that range. Resurfacing an existing driveway in good condition costs less. If your property has drainage issues, steep slopes, or requires tree removal, expect additional costs for that work.
Be cautious of quotes that seem too good to be true—they usually are. Low bids often mean thin asphalt, poor base prep, or unlicensed contractors who disappear when problems show up. Get at least three detailed estimates that break down materials, labor, and site prep so you can compare apples to apples.
Yes, if you want it to last. Sealcoating protects your asphalt from water, UV damage, chemicals, and general wear. It’s basically a protective barrier that keeps the surface from breaking down prematurely. Without it, you’ll see cracks, fading, and deterioration much faster.
In Croydon’s climate, sealcoating should be done every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. The first sealcoat usually happens about six months after installation, once the asphalt has fully cured. After that, regular reapplication keeps your driveway looking good and adds years to its lifespan.
Think of it like changing the oil in your car—it’s a small maintenance cost that prevents much bigger repair bills later. Sealcoating costs a fraction of what you’d pay to resurface or replace a driveway that’s been neglected. It’s one of those things where spending a little now saves you a lot down the road.
Start with reviews. Check Google, Angie’s List, and the Better Business Bureau for verified feedback from actual customers. Look for patterns—do they show up on time? Communicate clearly? Stand behind their work? A few bad reviews aren’t unusual, but pay attention to how the company responds to complaints.
Make sure they’re licensed and insured. Any legitimate paving contractor should be able to provide proof without hesitation. Ask for references from recent projects, especially ones similar to yours. A contractor who’s confident in their work won’t have a problem connecting you with past customers.
Get everything in writing—scope of work, materials, timeline, and total cost. If someone’s vague about details or pressuring you to sign immediately, walk away. Good contractors don’t need high-pressure tactics because their work speaks for itself. And if a quote seems way lower than others, there’s usually a reason—and it’s not because they’re being generous.
Technically, yes, but there are better and worse times to do it. Asphalt installation works best in warm, dry weather—ideally between late spring and early fall when temperatures are consistently above 50°F. Cold weather makes asphalt harder to work with and affects how well it compacts and cures.
That doesn’t mean paving can’t happen in cooler months, but the conditions have to be right. If temperatures drop too low or rain is in the forecast, it’s better to wait. Rushing a paving job in bad weather almost always leads to problems: poor compaction, uneven surfaces, and premature cracking.
Most of our paving work in Croydon, PA gets scheduled from April through October for this reason. If you’re planning a project, booking early in the season gives you more flexibility with scheduling. Waiting until late fall means you might be pushed to the following spring depending on weather.
