Asphalt Driveway Installations: Practical & Beautiful for New Home Construction

When it comes to new home construction, asphalt driveways offer a winning combination of practicality, durability, and curb appeal, making them an ideal choice for both homeowners and builders.

Here’s why asphalt stands out for new homes:

  • Built to Withstand Harsh Weather: Minnesota's extreme winters and hot summers can take a toll on driveway materials. Asphalt’s flexibility allows it to expand and contract with temperature changes, minimizing cracks and weather-related damage.
  • Affordable and Quick to Install: For builders, working with our experts ensures asphalt is cost-effective and installed quickly, keeping construction timelines on track. Homeowners benefit from reduced costs and less disruption to their move-in plans.
  • Easy to Maintain: Asphalt requires minimal upkeep, making it a long-term solution for homeowners. Regular sealing and simple repairs are enough to maintain its durability for years.
  • Boosts Curb Appeal: A smooth, polished asphalt driveway gives a new home an attractive, finished look that appeals to buyers and enhances the overall aesthetic of the property.

Our team delivers value for homeowners and ease for builders with reliable, affordable, and stylish asphalt driveway for new construction projects.

Grade & Pave Asphalt Driveway Installation

For homeowners looking to install an asphalt driveway at their new construction home or upgrade their gravel driveway, a grade and pave asphalt installation is an excellent choice. Our process begins with grading the existing surface to ensure proper leveling and drainage, which is critical for the durability and lifespan of the asphalt.

Once the surface is prepared, a layer of high-quality asphalt is applied and expertly compacted to create a smooth, sturdy finish. The result is a driveway that is not only more durable and weather-resistant than gravel but also significantly enhances your property's aesthetic appeal.

With its sleek appearance and added functionality, an asphalt driveway is a worthwhile investment for homeowners seeking a long-lasting solution.

How Long Does the Paving Process Take? 

The time required for driveway installation depends on the project's size and complexity, as well as the prevailing weather conditions. However, our typical paving process typically takes two days, spread over a week.  

Day 1: We perform the necessary prep work, including the removal of existing asphalt, grass, and dirt as needed, inspection and installation of the base material as needed, regrading the base for optimal drainage, and compacting it. We also repair any damage to the foundation blocks.   

Day 2: Typically, installation day is one week later. We haul in and install new asphalt material, compact and finish roll the new asphalt area, and block off the entrances to the area to protect it from traffic. 

The project size will determine the length of each visit; however, our crew is typically on-site for 1 to 3 hours each day. 

When Can You Start Using Your New Driveway? 

The first 14 days of your new driveway are the most critical. Do not drive on your new driveway for 7 days, and refrain from parking on it until after 14 days to ensure your vehicles don’t leave tracks or dips. If possible, avoid long-term parking for at least 30 days. 

If we are experiencing hotter weather, it is best to add extra days to this schedule.

Does Weather Affect the Installation Process? 

Yes, weather conditions play a critical role in asphalt installation. We avoid working during heavy rain, wet weather, or extreme cold, as these conditions can impact the quality of the results. 

How Long Can You Expect an Asphalt Driveway to Last? 

With proper maintenance, such as regular sealing and repairing minor cracks, an asphalt driveway can last 15-20 years or more.
