Asphalt Paving Services for Fairfax County VA | Driveways | Chipseal | Maintenance and Repair
Northern Virginia communities like McLean, Great Falls, Fairfax Station and Belle Haven in Fairfax County, boast some of the most impressive residences in the D.C. Metro are. Many are sited on multi acre plots. One of the most obvious, and attractive features of these homes is the asphalt driveway that winds from the street to the house itself.
New or well-maintained slate black asphalt provides a dramatic touch to even the grandest of Fairfax County residences. Many homeowners don’t realize how much their asphalt driveway or guest parking area enhances their curb appeal until the asphalt develops problems.

When professional results, reliability, superior customer care and affordability are key elements of your asphalt paving project, the pros at Standard Paving, Inc are the solution.
Professionally installed and maintained, asphalt driveways and parking lots should last 20 to 30 years. If the asphalt is not maintained, or is improperly installed, cracks, potholes, crumbling, and graying out can occur and the impact on the home it serves is significant. A poorly maintained asphalt driveway or parking area significantly reduces curb appeal (and resale value) and sends a negative message regarding the owner’s sense of responsibility.

Asphalt Paving Services for Fairfax County
With a service life of up to 30 years, asphalt is a favorite paving material for many Fairfax County homes and estates. But even the finest asphalt requires occasional maintenance thanks to our Northern Virginia climate, to keep its attractive slate black appearance. Of course, if the material hasn’t been maintained, or was improperly installed, more serious damage can occur which not only affect appearance but utility as well.
Whatever issues you may have with your asphalt driveway, Standard Paving is prepared to restore the surface to like new condition, quickly and professionally.
Maintenance and Minor Repair:
Asphalt is a petroleum product and like any chemical based material it is subject to change when its environment changes. In Northern Virginia, the two big “changes” that asphalt encounters are the UV rays of summer, and the deicing chemicals of winter. You can protect an asphalt surface from these threats by sealcoating once every three years or so. A quality sealcoat can deflect the UVs and stop deicing chemicals and automotive fluids (oil, coolant) from interacting with the asphalt. In addition, the sealcoat will restore the asphalt’s beautiful black finish.
If you have small cracks (less than ¼ inch deep) we can fill and compact those before applying the sealcoat. This prevents the progression of the cracking which if left unchecked will become potholes and flaking. The repair process is quick and affordable and the best way to protect your investment in your asphalt drive.
Repaving Asphalt Driveways:
If you have an asphalt surface with deep cracks, crumbling edges, potholes, or flaking, repaving may be the best solution to restore it to its original condition. At Standard Paving, our experienced crew will first locate, cut out, and remove structurally failed asphalt. Filling deep cracks and holes and compressing them comes next. The surface is then blown clean (asphalt won’t bond with a dirty surface) before installation. A self-propelled, self-leveling paver is used to put down a new layer of asphalt. That’s followed by a commercial grade roller that compacts the surface creating a brand-new asphalt drive. The edges are trimmed and compacted by hand.
Asphalt Installation:
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.
New Construction and Additions:
If you are building a new home, or your asphalt driveway has reached the end of its service life, or you want to modify or expand your asphalt surface, Standard Paving is equipped and staffed to take on your project.
New asphalt paving, whether it’s replacing an existing drive, new construction, or an addition like a parking apron, turn-around area. Or circle drive, is all about the subbase. Asphalt surfaces that fail early frequently happen because the subbase was not properly prepared.
We bring in our excavation crew, dig a base, check for soil compaction, adequate drainage, and any challenges like tree roots, then fill with gravel. The gravel is compacted and the installation begins. With a sound base, and a quality installation, you can count on decades of service.
