At Advance Asphalt Inc, we’re dedicated to our Northern California clients, whether they’re commercial property managers or residential homeowners. We bring the same quality paving materials and exceptional workmanship to every new pavement installation, like we recently did with a long asphalt drive on a residential property in Vacaville CA.

The Vacaville CA property used to have a gravel road that ran along the fence line and worked as the driveway for the home. For many years, gravel was a fine paving material for their driveway, but asphalt pavement has many advantages over gravel. While it was cheaper to install, gravel pavement is hard on vehicles, can wash out, and doesn’t add much value to a residential property. For driveways, asphalt pavement is preferable because it’s long-lasting, stands up to repeated use, looks beautiful, and isn’t that expensive to install. All these advantages ensure that a new asphalt driveway adds a lot of value to a residential property.

The Advance Asphalt Inc paving expert explained all of this to the residential property owner, and they chose asphalt pavement for their new driveway. Our experienced paving contractors got right to work, first compacting and grading the gravel to ensure that it would create a stable base layer for the asphalt. Next, they poured high quality asphalt in a thick layer to create the smooth, dark black driveway. The residential property owner loved their new driveway and especially loved how it increased their curb appeal. With a new asphalt driveway, they didn’t have to worry about gravel damaging their cars or making every drive home a bumpy ride.

With over 45 years combined experience in asphalt paving, Advance Asphalt Inc is Vacaville CA’s trusted paving company. We’re happy to help beautify communities in our area with brand new pavement, whether that’s a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot. Recently we were contacted by a Vacaville CA homeowner who needed a long driveway for their residential property. The residential paving experts at Advance Asphalt Inc were happy to get to work.

First, we got out to the site right away to inspect the property and design a durable, long-lasting driveway. There are several important factors for any new pavement installation that apply to driveways just like parking lots and roadways, including grade or slope, a stable base layer, and high quality paving materials. Grading is important to avoid water damage to the pavement. A stable gravel base keeps the driveway from shifting or cracking, and using only commercial quality asphalt makes the driveway just as durable as a public roadway.

The Advance Asphalt Inc crew quickly got to work paving this long driveway in Vacaville CA. We graded the area first to create correct drainage. Next, the crew installed a gravel aggregate base to a depth of 6 inches, as thick as most roadways. On top of that, we installed 3 inches of high quality, commercial-grade asphalt. Finally, we compacted and smoothed the entire drive to create a beautiful drive.

A new asphalt driveway is a great way to add curb appeal and value to your residential property, but it needs to be installed by your area’s trusted residential paving company. In Vacaville CA, Advance Asphalt Inc is this paving company. Contact us for a free site inspection and paving consultation.
