Asphalt Driveway Replacement in Cottontown, TN
Is your old asphalt driveway cracked, settled, patched, or failing? AAA Paving Contractors provides complete driveway replacement throughout Cottontown, Tennessee.
When Should an Asphalt Driveway Be Replaced in Cottontown, TN?
The decision to repair or replace an asphalt driveway depends on the extent of the damage, condition of the pavement, underlying base, drainage, and history of previous repairs.
When Repair May Not Be Enough
A few isolated pavement problems may be repairable. Replacement becomes a different conversation when deterioration is spread throughout a large portion of the driveway.
The existing pavement, base, grading, drainage, access, and intended driveway use can all affect the replacement process.

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
Removing failed asphalt exposes the underlying driveway structure and allows preparation work to begin.
Evaluate the Existing Base
The driveway base plays an important role in supporting the new asphalt surface and should be evaluated during replacement.
Prepare, Grade & Compact
Base preparation, grading, drainage, and compaction help create the foundation for the new asphalt driveway.
Install New Asphalt
The replacement driveway receives new asphalt after the underlying preparation work has been completed.
Compact & Finish
The new asphalt surface is compacted and finished before the replacement project is completed.
Driveway replacement creates an opportunity to address preparation and base conditions that may have contributed to deterioration of the old pavement.
Asphalt Driveway Replacement Cost in Cottontown, TN
The cost to replace an asphalt driveway in Cottontown depends on much more than the size of the finished pavement. Removal, base conditions, grading, drainage, access, asphalt requirements, and site preparation can all affect the project.
Starting Asphalt Pricing

Driveway Size
Total square footage and driveway layout affect material quantities and the overall scope of work.
Old Asphalt Removal
Removal requirements depend on the existing driveway and the amount of deteriorated pavement being replaced.
Base Condition
Soft, unstable, or deteriorated base areas can require additional preparation before new pavement is installed.
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.
New Asphalt
New pavement requirements are determined after the replacement area and preparation needs are established.
The final cost of replacing a driveway in Cottontown depends on the actual site conditions and scope of work. The 3.00 - 7.00 figure should be used only as a starting asphalt pricing guide.

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.

The scope of demolition and preparation has a major effect on project timing, so the actual driveway should be evaluated before scheduling.

Should a new replacement driveway be sealcoated?
