Your new driveway becomes the kind of surface that handles Pennsylvania winters without cracking, looks sharp for years, and actually adds value to your property. You’re not just getting asphalt laid down—you’re getting proper drainage, quality materials, and workmanship that lasts.
No more worrying about potholes forming after the first freeze-thaw cycle. No more water pooling near your foundation because the grading wasn’t done right. When we finish your project, you’ve got a driveway that works exactly like it should.
The peace of mind comes from knowing we treat your property like our own. One job at a time means your project gets our full attention, not a rushed crew trying to hit three jobs in one day.
Productive Asphalt brings 75+ years of paving experience to every Levittown project. We started in 1948, and that foundation of craftsmanship shows in how we approach each job today.
This isn’t some fly-by-night operation. We’ve built our reputation one driveway at a time in communities just like Levittown, where homeowners expect quality work and straight talk. Our crew knows Pennsylvania weather, understands local soil conditions, and has seen what works long-term versus what fails after a few seasons.
Our five-star reviews on Angie’s List reflect a simple philosophy: treat every client like the most important client. Whether you’re getting a residential driveway or need commercial parking lot work, you get the same attention to detail and commitment to getting it right.
First, we evaluate your property and discuss what you need. No generic estimates—we look at drainage, existing conditions, and how you actually use your driveway. You’ll know upfront what the project involves and what it costs.
Next comes proper preparation. We excavate to the right depth, install quality aggregate base material, and handle grading so water flows away from your foundation. This foundation work determines whether your driveway lasts 5 years or 25 years.
Then comes the paving itself. We use quality asphalt materials and the right equipment to create a smooth, durable surface. Our crew stays focused on your job until it’s complete—no bouncing between multiple projects. You get regular updates on progress and timing throughout the process.

Every paving project includes proper site preparation, quality materials, and attention to water management. We handle everything from initial excavation and base installation to final surface application and cleanup.
Levittown’s climate demands specific approaches to paving work. The freeze-thaw cycles here can destroy poorly installed asphalt within a few years. That’s why proper drainage and base preparation matter so much. We also offer specialized services like sealcoating to extend your pavement’s life and crack filling to address minor issues before they become major problems.
For commercial clients, we understand that your parking lot affects your business. Projects are scheduled to minimize disruption, and our crew works efficiently to get your lot back in service quickly. Whether it’s a small residential driveway or a large commercial parking area, the same standards apply.
Most residential driveway projects take 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two focuses on asphalt installation. Larger or more complex projects might extend to three days.
Weather affects timing—we won’t pour asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too cold for proper curing. Pennsylvania’s unpredictable spring and fall weather sometimes means adjusting schedules, but we keep you updated on any changes.
The key is proper preparation. Rushing the base work to meet an artificial deadline creates problems later. We’d rather take an extra day to do it right than deliver a driveway that fails in two years.
Overlay means adding new asphalt over existing pavement that’s structurally sound but showing surface wear. Complete replacement involves removing old pavement and starting fresh with new base and surface layers.
Overlay works when your existing driveway has minor cracking and surface wear but no major structural issues. It’s less expensive and faster than full replacement. However, if you have significant cracking, settling, or drainage problems, overlay just covers up issues that will resurface.
Complete replacement costs more upfront but addresses underlying problems. If your driveway has major cracks, potholes, or drainage issues, replacement gives you a fresh start that lasts longer. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your property and budget.
Small cracks and minor surface wear usually indicate repair needs. Large cracks, potholes, significant settling, or drainage problems typically require replacement. The 25% rule applies—if more than 25% of your driveway surface shows damage, replacement often makes more sense than patching.
Look for water pooling after rain, which indicates drainage or settling issues that repair won’t fix. Also check for cracks wider than a quarter-inch or areas where the pavement has sunk noticeably. These problems suggest issues with the base layer that require full replacement.
Age matters too. If your driveway is over 20 years old and showing multiple problems, replacement typically offers better long-term value than ongoing repairs. We can assess your specific situation and explain the pros and cons of each approach based on your driveway’s actual condition.
Residential driveway costs vary based on size, complexity, and current conditions. Simple overlay projects typically cost less than complete replacement with excavation and new base work. Commercial projects depend on size, traffic requirements, and site conditions.
Several factors affect pricing: existing pavement condition, drainage requirements, access for equipment, and material specifications. A driveway needing extensive drainage work costs more than one with good existing conditions. We provide detailed estimates that break down what you’re paying for.
The cheapest bid isn’t always the best value. Quality materials, proper base preparation, and experienced crews cost more upfront but deliver driveways that last longer and require fewer repairs. We focus on delivering value rather than competing solely on price, and we offer senior, military, and first-time customer discounts.
You can typically walk on new asphalt within a few hours, but wait at least 24-48 hours before driving on it. Full curing takes several days to weeks depending on weather conditions. Hot weather speeds curing, while cool temperatures slow the process.
Heavy vehicles or turning wheels while the asphalt is still soft can create permanent indentations. Avoid parking in the same spot repeatedly during the first week, and be gentle with steering when the pavement is still warm from sun exposure.
We’ll give you specific guidance based on weather conditions and the type of asphalt used. Following our recommendations protects your investment and ensures the surface cures properly. Most homeowners can resume normal use within 2-3 days, but commercial lots with heavy traffic might need longer cure times.
Yes, proper drainage is essential for long-lasting asphalt. Poor drainage causes water to pool, which leads to cracking, settling, and premature failure. We assess drainage during the initial evaluation and address issues as part of the paving process.
Common solutions include adjusting grade to direct water away from structures, installing catch basins or drainage pipes, and ensuring proper slope throughout the paved area. Sometimes this means additional excavation or base work, but it’s necessary for a driveway that performs well long-term.
Levittown’s clay soils and flat terrain can create drainage challenges. We have experience with local conditions and know how to design proper drainage for your specific property. Water management isn’t an add-on service—it’s an integral part of quality paving work.
