A proper residential asphalt driveway starts with excavation (if needed), base preparation, grading for drainage, asphalt installation, and professional compaction. The goal is a smooth surface that resists early cracking and settling—especially important in Pennsylvania’s freeze–thaw climate. We also handle detail work like clean edges and optional borders (including Belgian block).

If the pavement’s foundation is still stable and the damage is mostly on the surface, asphalt resurfacing (overlay) may be a cost-effective solution. If you have widespread base failure—deep “alligator cracking,” major settling, or recurring potholes—full removal and replacement is often the better long-term fix. We’ll make an honest recommendation during your free on-site estimate.

Lifespan depends on traffic, drainage, and maintenance, but a well-installed driveway or parking lot can last many years with routine care. In the Delaware Valley, proper base prep, compaction, and water management matter just as much as the asphalt itself because freeze–thaw cycles can accelerate deterioration when water is allowed to sit or seep in.

Sealcoating is a protective coating that helps defend asphalt from UV exposure, water intrusion, and oil or gas stains while restoring a darker finish. It does not fix potholes or major cracking, so repairs and crack filling should be handled first. Many properties benefit from sealcoating on a routine schedule depending on traffic and exposure, and we’ll recommend timing based on your surface condition.

Yes. We handle commercial parking lot paving and can manage the full scope—from removal or milling (when needed), base and asphalt installation, and final finishing—then coordinate striping so your lot is clearly marked for traffic flow and safety. We plan work to reduce disruption for customers, tenants, and employees.

In many cases, yes. Standing water (“birdbaths”) is usually a grading or drainage issue. Depending on the cause, solutions may include regrading, localized repairs, leveling, or resurfacing to restore proper slope and water runoff. During the site visit, we’ll identify what’s causing the water to pool and recommend the most durable fix.

Blake’s Paving works with offices, retail centers, schools, HOAs, and other commercial properties on projects such as parking lots, private lanes, access roads, and heavy-traffic paving areas. We also handle ongoing maintenance—repairs, resurfacing, and sealcoating—to extend pavement life and reduce long-term costs.
