What Is Driveway Excavation and Replacement?

Driveway excavation and replacement is a complete rebuild of your driveway from the ground up. It’s not just a new layer of asphalt—this is a full removal of your existing driveway surface, base materials, and subbase, followed by rebuilding each layer to ensure proper drainage, strength, and long-term durability.

This service is ideal for driveways with:

• Deep cracks or crumbling

• Poor drainage or standing water

• Uneven surfaces or sagging areas

• Old, worn-out pavement that’s beyond repair

If you want a driveway that lasts decades—not just years—excavation and replacement is often the smartest investment.

Our Step-by-Step Process

At TDS Asphalt, we take pride in doing things thoroughly. Every driveway excavation and replacement project follows a time-tested process that ensures quality, safety, and longevity.

1. On-Site Evaluation and Honest Advice

It starts with a personal visit from one of our experienced team members. We’ll assess the condition of your driveway, check the drainage and grading, and give you honest feedback. If a full replacement isn’t necessary, we’ll tell you. But if it is, we’ll walk you through what needs to happen and why.

2. Full Removal of Old Pavement

We use specialized equipment to remove the existing asphalt or concrete. This includes taking out any damaged or unstable subbase material that could lead to future issues. It’s a critical step that many contractors skip, but we don’t.

3. Grading and Subbase Installation

We re-grade the area to ensure proper slope and drainage—no more puddles or runoff issues. Then we install a strong subbase (usually crushed gravel or processed stone) and compact it thoroughly. This layer supports everything above it and keeps your driveway from shifting or sinking over time.

4. Binder Layer (Optional for Heavier Loads)

For driveways that will see frequent vehicle traffic or heavy loads, we may install a binder course, which adds structural strength and helps the surface hold up longer.

5. New Asphalt Installation

We apply a fresh layer of hot mix asphalt, spread it evenly, and compact it using vibratory rollers. Our team works quickly but carefully to ensure a smooth, clean finish.

6. Final Touches and Clean-Up

We take care of the finishing touches, including edges, transitions to walkways or garage floors, and site clean-up. We leave your property better than we found it.

Long-Term Care and Maintenance Tips

A newly installed driveway is an investment—and with a little care, it can look great and perform well for decades. Here’s how to protect it:

• Avoid Parking Immediately: Wait at least 24-48 hours before parking vehicles on your new driveway.

• No Heavy Loads for the First Week: Keep large trucks or trailers off the surface during this time.

• Sealcoating: Wait 6-12 months before sealcoating, then reapply every 2-3 years to protect against weather and UV damage.

• Keep Edges Clear: Avoid driving over the edges, as they are more vulnerable to damage.

• Fix Small Issues Early: If you notice cracks or small depressions, contact us before they worsen.

We’ll also follow up after your installation to make sure everything looks great and that you’re satisfied with the final product.
