| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | New hot-mix driveways built on compacted CA-6 crushed limestone with a true 2.5-3 inch compacted surface. Thickness and tonnage are spelled out in your written estimate. Stamped and decorative border finishes available. We pitch every drive a quarter inch per foot so meltwater never ponds on prairie clay. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Full-depth patches key into sound asphalt instead of skin patches that peel by spring. We fix sunken aprons, crumbling edges, snowplow gouges, and sections heaved by freeze-thaw over Sangamon County's clay-heavy loess. We tell you honestly when a repair buys you years and when the money belongs in resurfacing instead. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Potholes cut square then tack-coated and filled with compacted hot mix. We also run infrared patching that recycles the surface in place for seamless repairs with no waiting. Central Illinois freeze-thaw winters open potholes fast; we book quick late-winter assessments so one hole doesn't become a failed section. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | A new 1.5-2 inch compacted surface course goes over your structurally sound driveway. It's the middle path between patching and full replacement: we level cracks and edge-mill at the garage and street so the new mat ties in flush. If the base is failing, we say so before you spend. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Mill-and-pave; full-depth reclamation or complete tear-out with haul-away. This is the heavy-equipment side of the trade done right. Milling recovers grade at garages and curbs where an overlay would sit too high; reclaimed millings can rebuild your base or surface a farm lane instead of filling a landfill. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | When alligator cracking runs section to section the base underneath is gone and no overlay will save it. We remove the old drive; rebuild the crushed limestone base over prairie clay and pave a binder-plus-surface structure that restarts the 20-to-30-year clock, honestly quoted against the repair option. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | New parking lots and expansions for retail; HOA; church; school and industrial properties. Thickness is engineered for the traffic the lot will actually carry, from customer parking to loaded trucks at the dock. We phase work around your operating hours and coordinate JULIE locates on every excavation. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Potholes; failed sections; catch basin rebuilds and full overlays for commercial property managers. We work fast to get the liability off your lot. Annual maintenance programs bundle inspection with patching and drainage checks so small failures never become tenant complaints. Sweeping available with any maintenance visit. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Compacted asphalt millings make a solid, budget-smart surface for long farm lanes and machine-shed pads. They pack tighter every summer, a real step up from gravel on the black-soil prairie south and east of Springfield. We grade, spread, and roll millings to shed water, and tell you plainly where hot mix is worth the difference. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip is the same oil-and-chip surface central Illinois townships lay on back roads. It bonds liquid asphalt with rolled stone chips for a textured, low-glare finish with natural traction in snow. A classic choice for long rural drives outside Springfield at less than hot-mix cost; we also maintain and re-chip existing oil-and-stone surfaces. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | New gravel drives built in proper lifts of CA-6 crushed limestone over fabric. We also regrade; crown and fill potholes on lanes that washed out in spring rain. Good grading is also the first step of every future paving job, we build the base once and correctly over this clay. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Private lanes; HOA streets; townhome complexes and apartment drives paved and overlaid and maintained. One contract covers it with board-ready documentation; phased scheduling around residents and reserve-study-friendly pricing. The big-linear-footage work most driveway outfits can't staff. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | Add a parking pad for the third car or the boat; widen a tight side drive or rebuild a broken garage apron. We also pave RV and boat pads and tie every extension into your existing asphalt with milled seamless joints. Small-footprint jobs with full-size compaction standards. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | We pave backyard basketball courts, tennis and pickleball bases, walking paths, and golf cart trails dead-flat. Tight-tolerance surface courses are ready for acrylic color systems, and we build the structure so your court stays true through Springfield's freeze-thaw winters. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically have lower per-square-foot costs due to equipment efficiency and material volume discounts. A small driveway repair costs more per square foot than a full residential paving job.
- Current Surface Condition : Existing pavement that requires removal, milling, or extensive base repair increases labor and disposal costs. A smooth, well-prepared base reduces overall project expense.
- Material Selection : Standard asphalt paving costs differ from premium options like recycled millings or tar and chip driveways. Your choice of material directly impacts the final price.
- Site Accessibility and Grading : Difficult terrain, poor drainage, or limited equipment access may require additional grading, base preparation, or specialized work that affects the total cost.

Pricing FAQ
Why do asphalt paving prices vary so much between projects?
Pricing depends on multiple factors including project size, existing surface condition, base preparation needs, material type, site accessibility, and local labor costs. Two driveways that look similar may require different work underneath, which affects the final price. A detailed site inspection ensures you receive an accurate, customized quote.

Consider recycled asphalt millings or tar and chip options for cost-effective alternatives to traditional asphalt. Addressing small repairs early prevents larger, more expensive problems later. Our team can recommend the best solution for your budget and long-term needs.
