Once the old asphalt is removed, the condition of the underlying stone or aggregate base can be considered.
Prepare, Grade & Compact
The driveway is prepared according to the property conditions, including grading and compaction where required.
Install New Asphalt
Fresh asphalt is installed over the prepared driveway base and shaped to the planned driveway layout.

Grading & Drainage
Property grading and drainage conditions can affect how the new driveway is prepared.
Property Access
Equipment access, driveway width, gates, buildings, landscaping, and property layout can affect the work.

Asphalt Driveway Replacement Questions in Elmwood, TN
Before replacing an asphalt driveway in Elmwood, it helps to understand what happens to the old pavement, how the base is handled, and when replacement may make more sense than continued repair.
Should I repair or replace my asphalt driveway?
When most of the driveway remains serviceable, repair may be an option. When deterioration extends throughout the pavement, replacement may be considered.

Whether existing asphalt can remain in place depends on its condition, elevation, drainage, base stability, and the overall project. Severely deteriorated pavement may require removal.
Does the old driveway have to be removed?
When the existing pavement is being completely replaced, removing the old asphalt provides access to the driveway structure underneath it.
What happens to the base under the driveway?
The existing aggregate or stone base helps support the new asphalt and may require preparation or correction depending on its condition.
Can drainage problems be addressed during replacement?
Existing slopes, low areas, water movement, driveway elevations, and drainage conditions should be considered while planning a replacement project.
How long does driveway replacement take?
The scope of demolition and preparation has a major effect on project timing, so the actual driveway should be evaluated before scheduling.
How much does driveway replacement cost in Elmwood?
Replacement cost depends on driveway size, old pavement removal, disposal, base condition, grading, drainage, access, and new asphalt requirements.
Should a new replacement driveway be sealcoated?
Newly installed asphalt generally needs time before sealcoating is considered. The appropriate timing depends on the pavement and sealcoat requirements, so the new asphalt should be evaluated before maintenance treatment is applied.
