Is your old asphalt driveway cracked, settled, patched, or failing? AAA Paving Contractors provides complete driveway replacement throughout Sumner County, Tennessee.

When Repair May Not Be Enough
Localized asphalt damage and widespread pavement failure are not the same problem. The overall condition of the driveway should be considered before deciding how to proceed.
AAA Paving Contractors evaluates the existing asphalt and property conditions before determining the scope of a driveway replacement project in Sumner County.

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
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
The newly installed asphalt is compacted and finished to create the completed driveway surface.
If an existing driveway has settlement, drainage problems, soft areas, or repeated pavement failure, the conditions underneath the asphalt should be considered during replacement.
Asphalt Driveway Replacement Cost in Sumner County, TN
Driveway replacement pricing in Sumner County, Tennessee can vary based on the existing pavement, square footage, demolition, base preparation, grading, drainage, property access, and new asphalt installation.
Starting Asphalt Pricing
Use the starting asphalt price as a general planning guide. A complete driveway replacement can include additional work beyond new asphalt installation.
Driveway Size
Total square footage and driveway layout affect material quantities and the overall scope of work.
Old Asphalt Removal
Existing pavement may need to be broken up, removed, loaded, and hauled away before replacement begins.
Base Condition
Once the old pavement is removed, existing base conditions may influence the replacement scope.
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
The amount of new asphalt required is based on the driveway size and project specifications.
The final cost of replacing a driveway in Sumner County depends on the actual site conditions and scope of work. The 3.00 - 7.00 figure should be used only as a starting asphalt pricing guide.

EXPLORE ASPHALT REPAIR →Can you pave over my old asphalt 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?
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?
Drainage requirements vary by property, but water movement and driveway grading should be considered during preparation.
How long does driveway replacement take?
There is no single replacement timeline for every driveway. Larger projects or properties requiring substantial preparation can require additional time.
How much does driveway replacement cost in Sumner County?
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?
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.
