Asphalt Driveway Replacement in Kelso, TN
AAA Paving Contractors replaces aging and deteriorated asphalt driveways in Kelso, TN with properly prepared new asphalt pavement.
When Should an Asphalt Driveway Be Replaced in Kelso, TN?
Not every cracked driveway needs complete replacement, but widespread deterioration can reach a point where repeated repairs are no longer addressing the overall condition of the pavement.
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.
AAA Paving Contractors evaluates the existing asphalt and property conditions before determining the scope of a driveway replacement project in Kelso.

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
The old pavement is removed as part of the replacement process rather than simply covering widespread deterioration with another surface.
Evaluate the Existing Base
Removal provides access to the underlying base so unstable, soft, or poorly prepared areas can be identified.
Prepare, Grade & Compact
Base preparation, grading, drainage, and compaction help create the foundation for the new asphalt driveway.
Install New Asphalt
Fresh asphalt is installed over the prepared driveway base and shaped to the planned driveway layout.
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.

Grading & Drainage
Slopes, low areas, drainage problems, and transitions can influence preparation and grading requirements.
Property Access

New Asphalt
