A Driveway Starts With the Ground Below It
A driveway that looks good on the day it is paved and still looks good ten summers later is planned around more than the finished surface. Soil type, base depth, drainage, slope, width, the vehicles that use it and the connection to the road all shape the work. In Henderson County and the surrounding area, the clay in many yards moves with the weather, so a compacted base and good water management matter as much as the asphalt itself.

What Gets Checked Before Paving
Every driveway is different, but these parts of the project deserve attention before the first load of asphalt arrives.
Site and base preparation
The material under the pavement decides how the driveway performs. The contractor should check whether the existing ground or gravel base needs to be built up, compacted or replaced before asphalt goes down.
Drainage and slope
Water is the main enemy of asphalt. Ask the contractor where rain runs across and off the driveway, and where it needs to go, so puddles and washouts do not undermine the edges.
Layout and access
Width, entrances, turnaround space, parking pads and the tie-in to the county road or street all affect the paving plan and the cost.
Existing pavement
If you already have asphalt, the contractor should assess cracking, settlement, edge damage and drainage before suggesting replacement or resurfacing.

How a Driveway Referral Works
1. Discuss the project
You tell us how you use the driveway, what you want to change and what condition the existing area is in.
2. Review the site
An independent contractor looks at access, grade, drainage, existing pavement and what preparation the ground needs.
3. Define the paving work
The contractor explains the proposed scope, the materials and the factors that can affect the final cost.
4. Complete the project
If you agree a scope with the contractor, they prepare the site, compact the base and lay the asphalt under their own agreement with you.
