A complete driveway replacement gives the contractor an opportunity to remove deteriorated pavement and evaluate what is happening underneath the old asphalt.
Remove the Old Asphalt
Deteriorated asphalt is removed so the existing driveway base and underlying conditions can be evaluated.
Evaluate the Existing Base
Once the old asphalt is removed, the condition of the underlying stone or aggregate base can be considered.
Prepare, Grade & Compact
Proper preparation helps establish the shape, drainage, and support needed before new asphalt is installed.
Install New Asphalt
Once preparation is complete, new asphalt pavement is placed across the driveway surface.
Compact & Finish
The newly installed asphalt is compacted and finished to create the completed driveway surface.
Simply installing new asphalt does not eliminate underlying property conditions. Base stability, grading, drainage, and preparation remain important parts of the project.
Asphalt Driveway Replacement Cost in Ethridge, TN
Every driveway replacement project is different. The condition of the old driveway and what is discovered underneath it can affect the amount of preparation required before new asphalt is installed.

The condition underneath the old asphalt can affect how much base preparation is needed.
Grading & Drainage
Slopes, low areas, drainage problems, and transitions can influence preparation and grading requirements.
Property Access
Equipment access, driveway width, gates, buildings, landscaping, and property layout can affect the work.
New Asphalt
New pavement requirements are determined after the replacement area and preparation needs are established.
