Asphalt Driveway Replacement in Shady Grove, TN
Is your old asphalt driveway cracked, settled, patched, or failing? AAA Paving Contractors provides complete driveway replacement throughout Shady Grove, Tennessee.
When Should an Asphalt Driveway Be Replaced in Shady Grove, 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.
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
Deteriorated asphalt is removed so the existing driveway base and underlying conditions can be evaluated.
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
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.

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?
The existing aggregate or stone base helps support the new asphalt and may require preparation or correction depending on its condition.
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?
Project timing depends on driveway size, removal requirements, base work, grading, weather, access, preparation, and asphalt installation.
How much does driveway replacement cost in Shady Grove?
The best estimate considers the actual driveway dimensions, existing pavement, underlying conditions, preparation requirements, and new asphalt installation.
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.
