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
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
The driveway is prepared according to the property conditions, including grading and compaction where required.
Install New Asphalt
Fresh asphalt is installed over the prepared driveway base and shaped to the planned driveway layout.
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 Ostella, TN

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
Asphalt quantities and installation requirements depend on the dimensions and planned construction of the replacement driveway.

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?
When the existing pavement is being completely replaced, removing the old asphalt provides access to the driveway structure underneath it.
What happens to the base under the driveway?
After old asphalt is removed, the underlying base can be evaluated for stability, soft areas, grading, drainage, and preparation needs.
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 Ostella?
Replacement cost depends on driveway size, old pavement removal, disposal, base condition, grading, drainage, access, and new asphalt requirements.
Should a new replacement driveway be sealcoated?
