Replace cracked, deteriorated, and failing asphalt with professional driveway replacement in Pleasant Shade, TN from AAA Paving Contractors.

Some asphalt problems can be repaired individually, while older driveways with widespread cracking, settlement, failed areas, or repeated patches may be candidates for replacement.
When Repair May Not Be Enough

Driveway replacement planning should consider both the visible asphalt surface and the conditions underneath it.

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
The driveway base plays an important role in supporting the new asphalt surface and should be evaluated during replacement.
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
Compaction is an important final stage of asphalt installation and helps finish the newly paved driveway.
Simply installing new asphalt does not eliminate underlying property conditions. Base stability, grading, drainage, and preparation remain important parts of the project.
