What is Residential Asphalt Paving?
Residential asphalt paving refers to services provided for homes, such as driveways, walkways, and patios. Asphalt is made up of petroleum, crushed stone or gravel, and sand. It’s the black paving surface used for most roadways and parking lots.
Benefits of Residential Asphalt Paving
Asphalt has many benefits when used for residential purposes:
- Affordable. Asphalt costs less per square foot than cement, making a more affordable option for homeowners.
- Environmentally friendly. Asphalt is made primarily from recycled materials, including old asphalt, tires, and shingles.
- Safe. The non-skid surface of asphalt is safe when used for residential driveways and walkways.
- Durable. Asphalt holds up well to weather, vehicle traffic, moisture, and more. It expands and contracts with changes in temperature.
- Attractive. Asphalt is an aesthetically pleasing material for driveways, walkways, patios, and other uses around your home’s exterior.
- Improves curb appeal. Your home looks more appealing as people approach, especially potential buyers if you ever sell your home.
- Adds value. Paving your driveway with asphalt adds value to your home.
Services Offered
TopWest Asphalt provides the following residential paving services:
New Paving
Whether you want a new driveway or a new tennis court, brand-new asphalt paving is the best way to guarantee a long-lasting, durable result. We will demolish any existing surface, grade the soil for proper runoff, lay a strong subbase and binder, and then pour, level, and cure the new asphalt.
Crack Sealing
Asphalt expands and contracts with changes in the weather, putting it at risk for cracks to develop. It is vital to inspect your pavement for cracks at least once per year and have them sealed as soon as possible. Over time, cracks can worsen, leading to more expensive and invasive repairs and even eventual structural failure.
Pothole Repair
Potholes and deep cracks need more than a simple patch, but they can generally be repaired. The nature of the damage will determine the exact repair. Note that full repairs can only be performed during the summer months, but we can place a cold patch if needed to get you through the winter.
Resurfacing
Resurfacing involves the complete removal of the top layers of asphalt. We will patch the lower layers as needed and then pour a fresh, new surface. This restores both strength and appearance at a fraction of the cost of repaving.
Are You a Good Candidate for Residential Asphalt Paving?
If you have a dirt or gravel driveway, a newly constructed home in need of a driveway or other surfaces, or an existing asphalt driveway that needs to be repaired, you may be a good candidate for residential asphalt paving. Asphalt may be best for you if you need an affordable, low maintenance option.

But this is only true if your asphalt driveway is paved professionally by experienced pavers. TopWest Asphalt has the expertise to lay asphalt driveways that look great and last for many years.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does my asphalt driveway need to be resealed?
The only maintenance an asphalt driveway sometimes requires is periodic resealing. Sealing an asphalt surface protects it from damage due to moisture, vehicle traffic, oil leaks, and more. We recommend sealing your asphalt every 1-3 years depending on its condition.
Can cracks be patched without resurfacing?
Patching cracks in asphalt is a relatively simple project. It helps if you take care of them as soon as they form, so it’s good to inspect your driveway periodically. If too many cracks form or there are signs that the sublayers are damaged, resurfacing may be required.
Does asphalt work well in cold climates?
Asphalt actually works best in colder climates than in hotter climates. It can withstand cold, wet weather as we have in Abbotsford during the winter. Temperatures don’t get too high in the summer so there’s no concern about melting or warping asphalt.
How much does residential asphalt paving cost?
The cost of paving services varies from one home to another depending on a variety of factors. We provide free, no obligation estimates for asphalt paving projects.
