New asphalt driveways and full replacements for Lebanon homes

Paveway Paving Pros handles asphalt driveway paving for homes in Lebanon and the towns around it. We pave new asphalt driveways and replace old ones that have failed. A short drive in town may take one load of asphalt. A drive out in the country can run half a mile or a mile.

Every driveway gets hot mix asphalt over a compacted stone base, laid with our own pavers and rollers. We are an asphalt paving contractor in Lebanon, and our work reaches about 60 miles out across Middle Tennessee. Call or text (615) 894-5175 for a free estimate.

How Our Asphalt Driveway Installation Works

Every asphalt driveway installation starts with layout. We run string lines all the way around the outside of the drive and spray paint clean lines. Then we strip the grass and vegetation out from inside those lines.

Next comes the grading. We shape the ground so rain runs off the driveway, and any drainage the job needs gets handled there. Tennessee's one-call law counts grading as digging, with notice through 811 due at least three working days ahead.

Then crushed stone goes down, and we pack it with a roller until the base is right. Paving starts at the top of the drive, and we pave our way out to the road. The rollers follow and press the hot mix smooth. Once the new asphalt cures, we normally come back for its first sealcoating.

Driveway Paving on Lebanon Clay and Limestone

Federal soil maps show Talbott soil on more than a quarter of Wilson County. Its subsoil is firm clay over limestone, and water moves through it slowly. The county's second most common soil, on rocky cedar ground, sits only about 3 to 12 inches over limestone.

NOAA's climate normals give Lebanon about 54 inches of rain and melted snow a year. About 17 days a year bring an inch of rain or more. A pavement engineering reference warns that water under a pavement weakens the materials beneath it. On slow-draining clay, that water has nowhere quick to go.

That is why the grading and the stone base matter so much on a Lebanon driveway. The city's driveway permit form says a drive must be graded so street stormwater does not run down it. Rocky ground and deep clay grade differently, so we look at the ground before we price the job.

When Does an Old Blacktop Driveway Need Replacing?

Failed asphalt usually shows it. Alligator cracking is a web of connected cracks, and that same pavement reference ties it to lost support underneath. It also calls potholes the end result of that cracking.

When the base still holds firm and the wear is on top, asphalt resurfacing may be the better fit. When the base has failed, the fix starts at the ground with a full replacement.

A full replacement starts over. The old driveway comes out, and the new one goes in with the same steps as any new driveway. We look at the driveway first, and the free estimate names the fix it needs.

FAQ

Driveway Paving Questions, Answered

Common questions about driveway paving around Lebanon and the rest of Middle Tennessee. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (615) 894-5175

How much does a new asphalt driveway cost?
Size comes first, since a longer, wider driveway takes more stone and more hot mix. The ground matters too: how much grading it needs, and whether an old driveway has to come out. We look at the job first, then put a free estimate in writing. For published market ranges, read our guide to what an asphalt driveway costs in Tennessee.
Do I need a permit for a new driveway in Lebanon?
Inside Lebanon's city limits, a new driveway needs a permit from the city's Engineering department. The size of any driveway pipe gets set with that permit. On a county road, contact the Wilson County Road Commission first, and its culvert foreman sizes any culvert. A driveway onto a state route needs a TDOT highway entrance permit, which falls to the property owner.
How soon can I drive on a new asphalt driveway?
An asphalt industry guide says new hot mix can take cars soon, but a few days' wait is best. It also warns against letting a heavy moving truck onto a fresh driveway. If a move-in date is close, tell us when we look at the job.
Can you pave a long driveway out in the country?
Yes, and we pave long ones all the time. Out on the edges of town, driveways run longer and lanes get bigger. Long lanes on acreage have their own page: farm lane and private road paving. A long driveway past our usual area is worth a call too.
Should I wait to pave the driveway at a new house?
Sometimes, yes. Asphalt industry guidance warns that the fill around a new home is prone to settle. It says waiting a few months before paving is sometimes wise. We look at the ground at the estimate and talk through the timing with you.
When is the best time of year to pave a driveway in Lebanon?
Paving guidance from the asphalt industry says to pave only in good weather and to avoid cold, rainy days. NOAA's climate normals put Lebanon's typical last spring freeze around April 6 and the first fall freeze around October 28. The months between those dates give the warmest paving weather. Rain can still move a paving day.
