You’re not just getting asphalt laid down. You’re getting a driveway that handles Pennsylvania winters, summer heat, and daily traffic without cracking apart in two years.
When we finish your project, you’ll have a smooth, professionally graded surface that drains properly and looks sharp. No more dealing with potholes that damage your car or uneven sections that collect water and ice.
Your property value increases. Your daily routine gets easier. And you won’t be calling another contractor in three years because the work was done right the first time.
We’ve been handling paving projects in the Langhorne area since 1948. That’s 75+ years of understanding how Pennsylvania weather affects asphalt, what drainage solutions work in this region, and how to build driveways that last.
We focus on one job at a time. While other contractors juggle multiple projects and rush through yours, our crew gives your driveway complete attention until it’s finished properly.
Local property owners choose us because we treat every project the same way, whether it’s a small residential driveway or a large commercial parking lot. You get the same careful attention and quality workmanship regardless of your budget.
First, we evaluate your property and discuss exactly what you need. No generic estimates or hidden surprises later. We explain the grading requirements, drainage considerations, and timeline upfront.
Next, we prepare the base properly. This means excavating to the right depth, ensuring proper slope for water runoff, and compacting the foundation. Most driveway problems start with poor base preparation, so we don’t cut corners here.
Finally, we install the asphalt using proper temperatures and techniques, then compact it to the right density. We clean up completely and walk you through maintenance recommendations so your investment lasts as long as possible.

Your driveway paving project includes proper site preparation, professional-grade asphalt installation, and thorough compaction for long-term durability. We handle the grading, drainage, and any necessary water management solutions.
Langhorne properties often need specific attention to drainage due to the area’s clay soil conditions and seasonal weather patterns. We account for these local factors in every installation, ensuring your driveway channels water away from your foundation and doesn’t develop standing water issues.
Whether you need a basic residential driveway, commercial parking area, or industrial paving project, we bring the same attention to detail and quality materials. Senior, military, and first-time customers receive special pricing discounts.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Pennsylvania typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance. The key is proper base preparation and using the right asphalt mix for local climate conditions.
Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on asphalt, but when the base is prepared correctly and the asphalt is installed at proper temperatures, your driveway can handle these seasonal changes without major cracking. Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years extends the life even further.
The driveways that fail quickly usually have base preparation problems or were installed by contractors who rushed the job. That’s why we take time to excavate properly and ensure adequate drainage before any asphalt goes down.
Quality paving starts with proper excavation depth, usually 8-12 inches depending on soil conditions and expected traffic. Cheap jobs often skip adequate excavation or use insufficient base materials.
Professional contractors also use the right asphalt mix for your specific application and install it at proper temperatures. Low-quality work often uses recycled asphalt that’s not suitable for driveways or installs material that’s too cool to compact properly.
The biggest difference shows up in 2-3 years. Quality installations remain smooth and intact while cheap work develops cracks, potholes, and drainage problems that cost more to fix than doing it right initially.
Driveway paving costs in Langhorne typically range from $3-7 per square foot depending on site conditions, driveway size, and preparation requirements. A standard two-car driveway usually runs $2,500-5,500.
Factors affecting price include excavation depth needed, drainage requirements, accessibility for equipment, and current base condition. Properties with poor drainage or soft soil require more preparation work, which increases the investment.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises or add-ons later. Senior, military, and first-time customers receive discount pricing, and we work with various budget levels to find solutions that fit your needs.
Late spring through early fall provides the best conditions for asphalt installation in Pennsylvania. Temperatures need to stay above 50°F for several days after installation for proper curing.
Summer installation works well, but extremely hot days can make the asphalt too soft initially. Early fall is often ideal because temperatures are moderate and there’s less chance of unexpected rain disrupting the project.
We don’t recommend winter installation unless it’s an emergency repair. Cold temperatures prevent proper compaction and bonding, which compromises long-term durability. Planning your project for warmer months ensures the best results.
Most driveway replacements in Langhorne don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries and not changing drainage patterns. However, new driveways or significant expansions may need township approval.
If your project involves changing the driveway width, adding new access points, or modifying stormwater flow, you’ll likely need permits. Properties near wetlands or with steep slopes have additional requirements.
We help determine permit requirements during our initial consultation and can assist with the application process if needed. It’s better to check beforehand than deal with township issues after the work is completed.
Keep your new driveway clean and avoid parking heavy vehicles on it for the first few days while it fully hardens. Regular sweeping removes debris that can stain or damage the surface over time.
Sealcoating every 3-5 years protects against water penetration and UV damage. Small cracks should be filled promptly to prevent water from getting underneath and causing bigger problems during freeze-thaw cycles.
Avoid using rock salt directly on new asphalt during winter. Sand provides traction without the chemical damage. If you notice any settling or drainage issues, address them quickly before they become expensive repairs.
