Your driveway becomes a smooth, durable surface that enhances your property value instead of detracting from it. No more worrying about potholes damaging your car or cracks that let water seep in and cause expensive foundation problems.
You get peace of mind knowing your investment will last 20-30 years with proper installation. That’s decades without major repairs or the headache of dealing with fly-by-night contractors who disappear after the first winter.
Your neighbors notice the difference. A professionally paved driveway complements Doylestown’s historic charm while providing the modern functionality you need for daily life.
We’ve been solving paving problems since 1948. We understand Doylestown’s unique challenges – from the clay soils that require deeper base preparation to the drainage issues common in older neighborhoods.
Unlike contractors who treat every job the same, we customize our approach for each property. Whether you own a Victorian home near the Michener Art Museum or a newer property in one of Doylestown’s established neighborhoods, we know what works here.
We’re the asphalt contractor your neighbors recommend because we do what we say we’ll do. One project at a time, with the same attention to detail whether it’s a small residential driveway or a large commercial parking lot.
First, we evaluate your property’s specific conditions – soil type, drainage patterns, and how the existing surface is failing. This isn’t a quick walk-around; we’re checking for issues that cause problems later.
Next comes proper preparation. We excavate to the right depth for your soil conditions, install and compact the stone base, and ensure proper grading for water management. Corners cut here mean problems in two years.
Finally, we install the asphalt in the right weather conditions and compact it properly. You can walk on it immediately and drive on it within 24-48 hours. We clean up completely and explain what to expect as your new pavement cures.

You get comprehensive paving services designed for Doylestown’s specific conditions. We handle everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots, including water management solutions and proper grading that prevent the drainage problems common in our area.
Our services include new installation, resurfacing, crack repair, and sealcoating. We also handle the specialized requirements that come with Doylestown’s historic district properties and Bucks County’s regulations.
Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on asphalt, but our installations are designed to handle temperature extremes. We use materials and techniques that work with our climate, not against it. That means fewer emergency repairs and longer-lasting results for your property.
Asphalt paving in Doylestown typically costs $3-7 per square foot, but your actual cost depends on several factors specific to your property. The current condition of your existing surface, drainage requirements, soil conditions, and access to your property all affect the final price.
Properties with clay soil – common in parts of Doylestown – require deeper stone base preparation, which increases costs but prevents future problems. If your property has drainage issues or requires excavation of tree roots, that adds to the project scope.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down every aspect of your project. No hidden fees or surprise charges – you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and why each step is necessary for long-term results.
Properly installed asphalt should last 25-30 years in Pennsylvania’s challenging climate, but the key word is “properly.” The freeze-thaw cycles we experience in Doylestown can destroy poorly installed pavement in just a few years.
The foundation is everything. We excavate to the right depth for your soil conditions, install adequate stone base, and ensure proper drainage. These steps prevent the water infiltration that causes most asphalt failures during winter months.
Regular maintenance extends that lifespan even further. Crack filling and sealcoating every few years prevent small problems from becoming expensive replacements. We’ll explain the maintenance schedule that keeps your investment protected for decades.
Late spring through early fall provides the best conditions for asphalt paving in Doylestown. We need consistent temperatures above 50°F for proper material application and curing, which typically means April through October.
Fall is actually ideal for many projects because the asphalt has time to cure properly before winter’s freeze-thaw cycles begin. Summer heat can make working conditions challenging, but we adjust our schedule to work during cooler parts of the day when necessary.
Winter paving is possible for emergency repairs, but we don’t recommend major installations during freezing weather. The materials don’t bond properly in cold conditions, which compromises long-term performance. We’ll work with you to schedule your project during optimal weather windows.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for paving projects throughout Doylestown and Bucks County. Permit requirements vary depending on your project scope and location within the township, but we’re familiar with local regulations.
Most driveway projects require permits, especially when we’re changing grade, width, or drainage patterns. Commercial projects typically need more extensive permitting, including stormwater management plans and compliance with local business district requirements.
We include permit handling in our service because we know the local requirements and have established relationships with township officials. This prevents delays and ensures your project meets all code requirements from start to finish.
Sometimes, but only when your existing base is stable and the current asphalt isn’t severely damaged. We evaluate every situation individually because paving over failed asphalt just transfers the problems to your new surface.
If your existing driveway has minor surface wear but a solid foundation, an overlay can be cost-effective. However, if we find base failure, drainage problems, or extensive cracking, complete removal and reconstruction is the only solution that lasts.
We’ll inspect your current pavement and explain your options honestly. Sometimes the cheaper upfront option costs more in the long run. Our goal is to give you the solution that makes sense for your property and budget, not just the easiest sale.
We focus on one project at a time instead of juggling multiple jobs, which means your driveway gets our full attention from start to finish. This approach ensures quality control and lets us address any issues immediately rather than rushing to the next job.
Our experience with Doylestown’s specific conditions – clay soils, drainage challenges, and historic district requirements – means we know what works here. We’re not applying generic solutions; we’re customizing our approach for your property’s unique situation.
We also stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties and maintain the relationships that keep us busy through referrals. When contractors disappear after a few years, we’re still here handling any issues that arise. That’s the difference between a job and a long-term investment in your property.
