Asphalt driveways and paving in Mount Washington

Mount Washington has grown from a small town on US 31E into a busy, growing community just south of Louisville, with new subdivisions filling in along Bardstown Road and the KY 44 corridor. That growth means a lot of driveways, many of them built quickly during construction and now showing their age.

Driveways in newer subdivisions often have the same weaknesses: a thin base that settles where the builder's trucks drove, low spots at the garage where water stands, and cracks along the edges where the asphalt wasn't supported. An overlay won't fix a soft base, so we check for those problems first and repair them before resurfacing.

For older homes around town, the question is often whether to overlay an existing driveway or tear it out. If the base is sound and the cracking is mostly on the surface, an overlay gives you a new driveway for less. If it is broken into pieces or sinking, a replacement built on compacted stone is the better long-term value. We will show you what we see and price both honestly.

We also help homeowners' associations with street overlays and patching, churches with lot maintenance and small businesses along Bardstown Road with sealcoating and striping.

Many homes in the area sit on sloped lots, and a steep driveway needs careful attention to compaction and drainage so water runs down the edges instead of cutting across the surface. We look at the slope, the street connection and the garage apron before we recommend an approach.

Once your driveway is paved, sealing it every few years helps it last. We can put you on a reminder schedule so it gets done before the cracks open up. Call (502) 410-4080 for a free estimate in Mount Washington.

Questions from Mount Washington customers

Should I overlay or replace my driveway?

If the base is solid and the cracking is surface-level, an overlay is usually the better value. If the driveway is breaking up or sinking, replacement is the lasting fix.

Can you pave a steep driveway?

Yes. We plan compaction and drainage for the slope, and we'll tell you if a concrete apron or a drainage fix should be part of the job.
