Standard Paving’s Specialties Fredericksburg VA
While we are staffed and equipped to take on any asphalt paving project, large or small, in the Fredericksburg area we tend to do some types of projects more than others.
Asphalt Driveway Resurfacing Fredericksburg VA:
A professionally installed and maintained asphalt driveway will have a useful life of 20 to 30 years. But if you think about all that a driveway goes through, it’s not surprising that some small cracks (less than ¼” deep) will appear. Thanks to our northern Virginia climate, the subbase of a driveway has to put up with the expansion and contraction of the soil caused by freezing and thawing. Of course, you are running a two or three ton vehicle over it on a daily basis, and you know that oil, deicer chemicals, and other debris are going to find there way to the drive. If your driveway gets to this condition, it can look pretty ratty.
The solution is a resurfacing of the asphalt. This is not the same as a full blown repaving. In a resurfacing, we take off the top layer of existing asphalt, level up any low spots to eliminate puddling, and then install a new layer of dark slate colored asphalt. The new asphalt is compressed to ensure a bond with the older material and providing a new, clean, hard surface. Resurfacing is quicker and less expensive than repaving or replacing your drive. Call us now and we will be happy to explain the details.
Asphalt Driveway Paving Fredericksburg VA:
If your driveway has deep cracks, pot holes, crumbling edges, low spots that puddle after every rain, or is “graying out,” then it is probably nearing the end of it’s useful life. The most common solution to this condition is repaving. If the driveway has reached the end of its time, then full replacement would be required.
When we repave an asphalt driveway, we start by inspecting the existing surface for structurally failed asphalt which is cut out and removed. Pot holes are filled, edges are trimmed if grass has encroached, low spots are leveled up, and the subbase is checked for stability. We then use a self-propelled, self-leveling paver to lay down new asphalt followed by a vibrating roller to compress the surface. Edges are trimmed and compressed by hand. The finished product will amaze you. The clean, slate colored drive makes a huge difference in the overall appearance of your home.
Tar and Chip Paving Fredericksburg VA:
This inexpensive alternative to hot mix asphalt was first developed in New Zealand in 1935. It quickly spread to the U.S. and is widely used for repaving both rural and urban roads and streets. Tar and chip paving, also known as chip seal or macadam, is constructed using an asphalt emulsion (liquid asphalt) and chip gravel.
Preparation of the subbase for tar and chip paving is similar to that for hot asphalt paving. The actual construction starts with an asphalt distributor truck spraying down a layer of liquid asphalt followed by a truck spreading an even layer of chip gravel. A commercial compressor follows up compacting the gravel into the asphalt creating a rock hard, all weather, maintenance free, surface. This is an economical alternative for driveway, parking lot, or private road asphalt paving. If you have a gravel or dirt road on your property, tar and chip paving is an excellent method to acquire an all-weather surface.
The key to tar and chip paving is correctly laying down the asphalt and gravel. Too much or too little of either can result in a substandard, even dangerous surface. The key is experience and ss popular as the technique is, there are few asphalt paving companies that have the extensive experience that Standard Paving has.

Step 1
Our own full time experienced crew installs the asphalt with a heated self propelled paver and hand tools.
Step 2
The hot asphalt is compacted with an industrial, steel drum, vibrating roller, to form a hard surface.
Step 3
The vertical edges are hand finished and compacted for maximum durability and neat appearance.
