Asphalt driveway paving covers new driveways for homes and full replacement of worn-out ones. NS Paving and Landscaping is an asphalt paving contractor serving Lehighton and six Pennsylvania counties. We pave new residential driveways and replace old ones from the base up.
Most driveway trouble starts under the surface. Water gets into a weak base, then freezes and pushes the asphalt up. Cracks and soft spots follow. Call or text (484) 545-5072 for a free estimate, and we will put the quote in writing.

The asphalt is only the top layer of a driveway. Under it, a compacted stone base spreads each car's weight over the ground. Weak spots in the ground get dug out and replaced before the base goes down. Fill around a new home tends to settle, so a few months' wait before paving is sometimes wise.
Hot asphalt is spread and rolled while it is still hot. The national asphalt trade association says the mix must be compacted before it cools to 185 degrees. Rolling packs the mix tight, and a tight surface sheds water.
Standing water soaks into the base and weakens it. A state asphalt association's driveway guide calls for a slope of at least a quarter inch per foot. We set the slope so rain runs off the asphalt and away from the house. Pennsylvania's stormwater law also requires anyone who alters land to keep its runoff from harming other property.
Many worn driveways can be fixed in place. Asphalt resurfacing puts a new layer of asphalt over the old drive when the base underneath is still sound. A drive with a few holes may need only asphalt patching.
Wide patches of spider-web cracks, called alligator cracking, often mean the base has lost its strength. Potholes that come back every spring can point the same way. Poor drainage and spring thaw can both weaken a base. When the base is the problem, new asphalt on top of it tends to crack again.
Full driveway replacement starts with tearing out the old asphalt. The base is rebuilt where it failed and compacted again, and new asphalt goes on last. Replacement is also the time to widen the drive or fix where the water goes.
NOAA's 30-year climate averages for Lehighton count about 132 days a year with a low of 32 degrees or colder. January averages a high near 36 and a low near 19, so many winter days cross the freezing line. Water that freezes under a driveway expands and lifts the asphalt above it.
Federal NRCS soil surveys flag frost action as a limit for roads on the soils mapped around Lehighton. Several of those soils also rate low in strength under traffic. That is why the stone base and the drainage matter more here than the top layer.
Asphalt industry guidance warns that thin layers of hot asphalt lose heat fast on a cool surface. The time left for rolling may be under 10 to 20 minutes, so driveway paving belongs in dry, mild weather. In a typical year, NOAA's averages put frost around Lehighton from late October to late April.
