Residential Paving

Residential asphalt paving and driveways

Your driveway is the widest thing on your property and the first thing people see. We pave new residential driveways, replace failed ones, and resurface drives that still have a solid base — with a small, family-owned crew that shows up when we say we will.

Who it's for
  • Homeowners replacing a cracked or crumbling asphalt driveway
  • Gravel drives being converted to a paved surface
  • New builds needing a driveway and approach
  • RV, boat, and shop pads that need a real load-bearing surface
  • Rural properties with long access drives

What residential paving actually involves

Residential paving is asphalt work sized for homes: driveways, parking pads, RV and boat pads, rural approaches, and shared access drives. The mat is thinner than a truck lot but the base preparation matters just as much, especially on the sandy and silty soils common around the Tri-Cities.

Our process

  1. Free driveway walkWe measure, check drainage and slope, and confirm access for the paver and roller.
  2. Written estimate in 24 hoursClear scope: thickness, base work, edge treatment, and timeline.
  3. Prep and gradeOld surface removed if needed, subgrade shaped to shed water away from the house and garage.
  4. Pave and compactHot-mix placed and rolled, with clean transitions at the garage and street.
  5. AftercareWe walk you through cure time, first-season care, and when the first sealcoat should happen.
Problems it solves
  • Gravel washout and constant re-grading
  • Cracked, rutted driveways that trap water and weeds
  • Puddles at the garage apron or street approach
  • Edges crumbling from lack of support
What you get
  • Real curb appeal that shows from the street
  • Water directed away from the garage instead of into it
  • No more grading gravel every spring
  • You deal with the owner, not a call center
Tri-Cities conditions

Why it's different
in Eastern Washington.

Residential driveways here take full sun all summer, which dries out the binder and fades the surface gray. Then winter freeze-thaw pushes water into any hairline crack. New asphalt should cure roughly 6 to 12 months before its first sealcoat, and most Tri-Cities driveways do well on a 3 to 5 year sealcoat cycle after that.

We serve Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, West Richland, Prosser, Benton City, and Burbank.

FAQ

Residential Paving questions

How long does a residential driveway take?

Most single-family driveways are a one-day pour once prep is complete. Jobs that need demo, extra base work, or drainage correction typically run two days.

When should I seal a brand new driveway?

Wait about 6 to 12 months. New asphalt needs to cure and release its oils before it will accept a sealer properly. Sealing too early can trap oils and leave a soft, tacky surface.

Can you pave over my existing gravel drive?

Often yes, if the gravel is a proper compacted base and drainage is right. We check depth and compaction during the site walk and tell you honestly whether it needs additional base before paving.
