Asphalt Driveway Paving – Minneapolis, St Paul

Do you live in the Twin Cities area and need a new driveway? Choosing an asphalt driveway may be your best choice. Are you currently experiencing any of these problems with your asphalt or concrete driveway?

Severe winter driveway damage
Extensive cracking or buckling
Low spots, causing puddles
Small or large pot-holes
Major cracks on a concrete driveway

If you are experiencing one or more of the problems listed above, you probably need to replace your driveway, which may also indicate sub-base problems. If these problems aren’t corrected, your asphalt or concrete driveway will continue to deteriorate.

5 Main Advantages of Using Asphalt for Your Driveway

Asphalt paving is economical – It can cost 40-60% less than concrete.
Asphalt driveways are durable and flexible – Ideal for Minnesota winters.
Asphalt driveways can last up to 30 years – Quality craftsmanship is essential.
Asphalt driveways melt snow – Snow & ice melt faster with dark asphalt.
Asphalt can be recycled – Old asphalt can be recycled to lower our carbon footprint.

Your driveway says a lot about you and your home. An attractive driveway, one with ‘curb appeal’, adds value to your home and should therefore be seen as an investment. Beyond its monetary value, a beautiful, smooth driveway can increase your pride in your home. During the winter months, a smooth blacktop driveway makes snow removal easier. In good weather, it becomes a playground for your entire family.

Here at Richfield Blacktop, we provide quality asphalt driveway replacements and concrete and asphalt paving services, including garage floors, sidewalks, and patios. We specialize in full-service replacement for driveways, sidewalks, or walkways.

Is an Asphalt Overlay a Good Choice for Your Driveway?

In some cases, it is possible to overlay an existing asphalt driveway with another ‘layer’ of asphalt. Overlaying an existing driveway can save money by eliminating the need for removal and base work. However, cracks or damage will show through the new layer, and drainage must be taken into account. Also, a new inch-and-a-half layer may raise the surface above your garage floor. Although these problems can be resolved, overlays are generally not advisable in many situations. When considering an overlay, it’s best to consult an expert. Consider having one of our asphalt driveway consultants assist you in your decision.
