Georgetown's climate—with its seasonal moisture and variable soil—demands expert asphalt work. Proper drainage and compaction prevent early failure. This page covers what's involved, why quality paving matters, and how to keep your investment protected year-round.

How We Work

Every paving project follows a clear, proven process. You'll understand each step before work begins.

The Process from Start to Finish

Site Assessment

We evaluate soil composition, drainage patterns, and existing damage. Georgetown's soil conditions are unique; proper assessment prevents future settlement.

Excavation & Grading

Unstable material is removed and the surface is graded to slope water away. Poor grading is a leading cause of early asphalt failure in Delaware.

Base Installation

A properly compacted stone base prevents shifting and extends pavement life. This layer is critical in areas with variable moisture.

Hotmix Application

Our team applies hotmix asphalt at the right temperature, then compacts it for optimal density and strength. Proper compaction ensures durability.

Finishing & Curing

The surface is inspected, allowed to cure, then marked with stripes or sealed. We handle all finishing details to specification.

Maintenance Planning

We recommend sealcoating every 2–3 years and prompt crack repairs. Regular maintenance significantly extends pavement life.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a new driveway in Georgetown?

Yes. Sussex County requires a building permit for most paving work. We handle all permitting, inspections, and compliance so you stay on the right side of local regulations.

How often should I seal coat my driveway?

Every 2–3 years is ideal. Regular sealcoating prevents water infiltration, UV damage, and oil stains—extending your pavement's life by years and saving money on major repairs.

What causes potholes and how do you repair them?

Potholes form when water seeps into the base layer, freezes, and expands—common in Delaware winters. We excavate the damaged area, compact a new base, and patch with fresh hotmix asphalt for a lasting repair.

How long does a new asphalt driveway last?

Properly installed and maintained asphalt typically lasts 15–20 years. Regular sealcoating, crack repair, and good drainage add years to its life.

Can asphalt be recycled?

Yes. Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is environmentally friendly and cost-effective for some projects. We discuss sustainable options during your consultation.

What's included in parking lot striping?

Professional striping includes parking space lines, directional arrows, handicap-accessible markings, and ADA-compliant layout. Clear striping improves safety and curb appeal.
