Driveway Paving Norfolk, VA

A BREAKDOWN OF THE DRIVEWAY PAVING PROCESS

Are you looking to make your gravel driveway more attractive? Paving can improve the curb appeal of your home and reduce exterior maintenance. Paved driveways look great and are easy to maintain in all weather conditions, including the harsh winters in Virginia.

What is involved in getting your driveway paved? Let's take a look at the driveway paving Norfolk, VA process to help you understand what you can expect from a professional Virginia paving contractor.

PHASE 1 - REMOVAL

Removing any driveway materials is the first step to preparing for a newly paved driveway. The existing driveway materials must be removed, regardless of whether it is a gravel driveway or an old paved area that has been damaged or cracked. This will be done if you want to replace an existing paved driveway. After the pieces are removed, the Paving Company will dispose of them.

PHASE 2 - PREPARATION

After the old driveway is removed, it will be necessary to prepare the area for the new driveway. The existing gravel used as a base for the driveway may still be suitable for the new driveway. However, it might need to be removed and replaced. After the gravel has been placed, it is used for a pitch drainage system to drain water from the driveway. The gravel is then compacted with a large roller to ensure that it is even and leaves no space between stones. This is essential because it prevents future cracks and sinkholes from occurring in the driveway.

PHASE 3 - INSTALLATION

After the ground is prepared, the driveway can be installed by a paving machine. The machine pours concrete or asphalt and then rolls it out flat. The final driveway will need to cure for at least 24 hours after the pavement layer has been removed. This is to ensure that the material does not crack and lasts.
