Full-service asphalt paving for driveways, lots, roads and private drives across Northeast Indiana. Machine-laid, compacted tight, and spec'd to ride Indiana freeze-thaw without tearing itself apart.
Overview
Asphalt Paving in Indiana.
A fresh asphalt mat should last decades, not years. The difference isn't in the color, it's in what happens below the surface. Paul has been laying hot mix across Indiana for 25 years, and every job gets the same treatment: measured subgrade, compacted base, hand-finished edges, and a mix chosen for how pavement actually fails in this state.
What we install
New driveway installations, residential lanes, commercial parking lots, private streets, farm drives, and small industrial pads. If it's hot mix, we've done it, from a single-car driveway up to a 200-stall retail anchor.
How we spec Indiana asphalt
Indiana winters cycle through freeze-thaw forty-plus times a season, and summer heat cooks the mat from above. We run thicker lifts than the cut-rate crews, we compact in measured passes with the right rollers, and we pay close attention to drainage. The finished pavement is tight on day one and stays tight through the decades.
What you get with Paul
Written quote same day in most cases. Honest scope, if you don't need a full tear-out, we'll tell you. A small owner-run crew, not a sales team. Clean jobsite, protected landscaping, and a final walkthrough before the trucks leave.
FAQs
Common questions
about asphalt paving.
For most residential driveways, 2.5 to 3 inches of compacted hot mix over 4 to 6 inches of properly compacted aggregate base is the minimum that will last. Commercial and industrial work needs more. We'll spec the right number for your use case on the written quote.
Foot traffic is fine after 24 hours. Most homeowners can park after 48 hours. The mat continues curing and hardening for about 30 days, avoid sharp steering turns while a car is parked still during the first week.
If the old surface is failed past the point of a useful overlay, yes, we tear it out, re-grade, re-compact the base, and lay a fresh mat. If the base is still solid, an overlay buys you another 10 to 15 years for a fraction of the cost. We'll tell you straight which is right for your job.

Sealcoating
A fresh sealcoat every two to three years blocks UV, slows oxidation, and keeps hairline cracks from turning into the expensive kind.
