What Is Residential Asphalt Paving?
Asphalt paving is more than just laying down blacktop. It’s about creating a surface that will support your family’s everyday life — from your kids playing basketball in the driveway to parking your vehicles safely through harsh New England winters.
Asphalt is one of the most cost-effective, durable, and flexible paving materials available. It absorbs less water than concrete, handles freeze-thaw cycles better, and creates a clean, finished look that boosts your home’s visual appeal and market value.
But a driveway is only as good as the people who build it — and that’s where we come in.
The TDS Way: Our Residential Paving Process
We’ve spent over 35 years refining a process that blends precision with personal care. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Listening First
Every great project starts with a conversation. We’ll meet with you on-site to understand what you need, assess the existing surface, and walk you through your options. No hard sell. Just honest advice.
2. Site Prep & Grading
Once we’re aligned, we clear the area of grass, old pavement, and debris. Proper grading ensures that water drains away from your home and doesn’t pool on the surface — a crucial step that many overlook.
3. Solid Foundation
We install a stable base of crushed stone or gravel and compact it thoroughly. This foundation is the backbone of your driveway. Skipping or rushing this step? Not on our watch.
4. Professional Paving
We apply hot mix asphalt with care, using state-of-the-art equipment to ensure a smooth, even finish. Edges are hand-tamped for clean lines, and transitions to sidewalks or garages are seamless.
5. Finishing With Pride
We clean up like we were never there — except now, you have a beautiful new driveway. We walk the job with you, answer your questions, and make sure you’re thrilled with the result.

Best Practices That Protect Your Investment
Your driveway is a big investment, and we treat it with the respect it deserves. Here are just a few of the ways we go above and beyond industry standards:
-
Proper Drainage Planning: Without the right slope, water can damage the surface. We always design for runoff.
-
High-Quality Base Layer: A strong base is essential. We never lay asphalt on weak soil or skip compaction.
-
Precision Edging: Sharp, clean lines along the edges prevent cracking and add to the finished look.
-
Recycled Asphalt Reuse: When possible, we repurpose old asphalt to reduce waste and lower material costs — without sacrificing quality.
-
Professional Sealing Recommendations: We’ll guide you on when to sealcoat your driveway to extend its life and protect your investment.
Caring for Your New Driveway
To help your new driveway look great and last for years, we’ll give you a custom care guide after installation. Here are a few essentials:
-
Avoid Parking for 24–48 Hours: Let it cure fully before putting weight on it.
-
No Heavy Vehicles: Keep large trucks or trailers off the driveway for a few weeks.
-
Watch for Sharp Turns: Turning wheels while stationary can scuff the surface early on.
-
Seal Every 2–3 Years: We’ll help you set a maintenance schedule that keeps it looking new.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much will a new asphalt driveway cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your driveway, the condition of the current surface, and how much prep work is needed. At TDS Asphalt, we offer free, no-pressure estimates so you’ll know exactly what to expect — no surprises.
How long will the project take from start to finish?
Most residential driveways take 1–2 days to complete. We’ll give you a clear timeline upfront, and we do everything we can to minimize disruption to your routine.
Will I need to be home during the work?
It’s not required, but it’s helpful if you’re available at the start of the project in case we need to review layout or access details. We’ll communicate everything clearly whether you’re home or not.
What should I do to prepare before you start?
Clear the driveway of vehicles, plan alternative parking for 1–2 days, and let us know about sprinkler systems or underground utilities. We’ll walk you through prep during the estimate.
How long before I can use the new driveway?
After paving, we recommend waiting 24–48 hours before driving or parking on it. In warmer weather, it’s best to wait a little longer. We’ll provide full aftercare instructions so you’re set up for long-term success.
