| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | Atlanta driveways rest on Piedmont red clay that softens fast in a wet spell. We build the aggregate base and pitch to a quarter inch per foot, then set compacted hot mix asphalt sized for this ground. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Atlanta driveway repair usually starts where storm water has softened the red clay underneath. We cut out the failed patch, rebuild the base, and tie new hot mix flush so the repair holds through the next thunderstorm. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Atlanta potholes usually form where standing water has worked into softened red clay. We cut a clean square, compact fresh aggregate, and set hot mix patch flush so the fix holds through the next storm. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | Atlanta resurfacing works best when the base is sound but the surface has worn from years of summer storms. We mill the worn top, tack the surface, and lay a new binder and surface course pitched for Atlanta's grade. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Atlanta milling removes the failed surface down to a base that Piedmont clay has often shifted. We haul off the millings and grade the base flat before new hot mix goes down. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | Atlanta driveway replacement starts with tearing out a slab that red clay movement has cracked beyond repair. We rebuild the aggregate base, compact it in lifts, and pour new hot mix pitched for this ground. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | Atlanta commercial lots need a base built to shed storm water fast across the Piedmont clay below. We grade, compact, and pave lots across Gwinnett and Cobb sized for daily traffic and heavy summer rain. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Atlanta parking lots crack fastest where storm water pools on soft Piedmont clay subgrade. We cut out the failed section, rebuild the base, and patch flush so the lot holds through the next thunderstorm season. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Atlanta millings driveways give a budget surface that still handles Piedmont clay movement. We compact recycled millings over a graded base so the surface sheds Atlanta's summer downpours. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Atlanta tar and chip driveways hold up well on the rolling grades found across ridge-and-valley lots. We spray a binder coat, embed stone chips, and roll it firm so the surface stays sealed through Atlanta's storms. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | Atlanta gravel driveways need grading that routes storm water off soft Piedmont clay subsoil. We shape the grade, add a compacted base, and spread gravel sized to stay put on sloped Atlanta lots. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Atlanta HOA roads across the suburban belt often fail together since they were built in one wave. We rebuild the base, correct drainage, and repave shared roads sized for Gwinnett and Cobb subdivisions. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | Atlanta driveway aprons take the hardest hit where storm water rushes off the yard toward the street. We widen the slab, key new hot mix into the old edge, and pitch it to clear the curb fast. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | Atlanta backyard courts need a base built for Piedmont clay that shifts through wet and dry spells. We grade and compact a stable base, then finish with hot mix so the court plays flat through Atlanta's storm season. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically have lower per-square-foot costs due to economies of scale. A 500 sq ft driveway will have different pricing than a 2,000 sq ft parking lot.
- Existing Condition and Preparation : If your asphalt requires milling, removal, or extensive base repair before new material is applied, preparation costs will increase the overall project price.
- Material Selection : Premium asphalt, recycled millings, tar and chip, and gravel options each have different costs. Your choice of material directly impacts your final price.
- Site Accessibility and Complexity : Steep slopes, tight spaces, drainage requirements, or difficult terrain may require additional equipment and labor, affecting your estimate.
