Asphalt Driveway Replacement in Forest Hills, TN
Is your old asphalt driveway cracked, settled, patched, or failing? AAA Paving Contractors provides complete driveway replacement throughout Forest Hills, Tennessee.
When Should an Asphalt Driveway Be Replaced in Forest Hills, TN?

The existing pavement, base, grading, drainage, access, and intended driveway use can all affect the replacement process.

Replacing an asphalt driveway involves more than installing a new layer of pavement. The existing driveway, underlying base, grading, drainage, and property conditions should all be considered.
Remove the Old Asphalt
Removing failed asphalt exposes the underlying driveway structure and allows preparation work to begin.
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
The driveway is prepared according to the property conditions, including grading and compaction where required.
Install New Asphalt
The replacement driveway receives new asphalt after the underlying preparation work has been completed.
Compact & Finish
Compaction is an important final stage of asphalt installation and helps finish the newly paved driveway.
Driveway replacement creates an opportunity to address preparation and base conditions that may have contributed to deterioration of the old pavement.

Asphalt Driveway Replacement Questions in Forest Hills, TN
Considering replacing an old asphalt driveway in Forest Hills? Here are answers to common questions about removal, repair, base preparation, new asphalt, cost, and maintenance.

Installing asphalt over an existing driveway is not automatically appropriate for every property. The condition of the old pavement and underlying structure should be evaluated first.
Does the old driveway have to be removed?
Removal requirements depend on the existing driveway and planned project, but failed pavement should not simply be ignored underneath new asphalt.
What happens to the base under the driveway?
Driveway replacement provides an opportunity to inspect what was hidden underneath the old pavement before the new surface is installed.
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 Forest Hills?
Every driveway replacement has different site conditions. Square footage is important, but demolition and preparation can also affect the final cost.
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.
