How a New Driveway Goes In

1
Measure and plan
We measure the drive, check how water runs across it, and talk through width, turnarounds, and where the edges go.
2
Remove and grade
The old surface comes out if needed, and the ground is shaped so water drains away from the house and the garage.
3
Build the base
Crushed stone is spread and packed firm. This layer carries the weight of your cars, so we do not rush it.
4
Pave and roll
Hot asphalt goes down in an even layer and is rolled tight, with clean edges along the lawn and the road.

Why Homeowners Call Dan's for Driveways

Driveways are right on our card, next to our motto: your driveway, our reputation. We take that literally. Your driveway is the job people drive past and judge us by.

You also get one company for the whole life of the drive. We pave it, then we can come back to crack fill and sealcoat it so it lasts as long as possible.

What Affects Driveway Paving Cost

Every driveway is different, so we price it at a free estimate. Here is what we look at:

Length and width: Bigger driveways need more asphalt and more stone, and asphalt is priced by the ton.
What is there now: Paving over gravel is different from tearing out old asphalt or concrete first.
Base work: Soft or sunken areas have to be dug out and rebuilt before new asphalt goes down.
Slope and drainage: Hills and spots where water pools need extra grading.
Extras: Turnarounds, parking pads, and wider aprons add area and cost.

Driveways in Springfield Neighborhoods

Springfield has a lot of older homes, from the big houses around Ridgewood and Snyder Park to the streets near Wittenberg University. Many of those driveways were poured or paved decades ago and have settled, cracked, or been patched so many times they look like a quilt. Replacing an old drive with fresh asphalt is one of the best upgrades you can make to curb appeal.

Out in the townships, gravel driveways are still common. Gravel is cheap to start but it ruts, washes into the yard, and gets torn up by the snow plow every winter. Blacktop costs more up front but ends the yearly stone bill.

Winter is what ages driveways here. Freeze and thaw cycles open small cracks, and salt from the road gets tracked up the drive. A new driveway should get crack filling as needed and a sealcoat after it cures, usually within the first year or two.

Driveway Paving Questions

How much does a new asphalt driveway cost?

It depends on the size, what has to be removed, and how much base work the ground needs. A short drive over good gravel costs much less than tearing out a long, broken one. We give free estimates so you know the exact price first.

Can you pave over my gravel driveway?

Yes. The gravel is graded, topped up, and packed to make the base, then the asphalt goes on top. If the gravel is thin or muddy, we add stone first.

Asphalt or concrete for a driveway in Ohio?

Asphalt handles freeze and thaw well, is easy to repair, and costs less up front. Concrete lasts a long time but cracks are harder to fix and salt can damage the surface. For most Ohio driveways, asphalt is the practical choice.

How long will a new asphalt driveway last?

A well-built asphalt driveway can last many years, often 15 to 20 or more. Crack filling as needed and sealcoating every few years help it reach the long end of that range.

When should I sealcoat my new driveway?

Wait until the asphalt has cured, usually several months to a year. Sealing too soon can trap oils in the fresh asphalt. We can tell you the right time for your drive.
