| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | Akron's dense clay soil and deep frost mean a driveway needs solid base work to last. We grade for drainage on the sloped lots common in West Hill and Firestone Park, then lay hot mix asphalt once spring rains ease. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Winter plowing and freeze-thaw cycles open cracks fast in Akron's clay-based driveways. We cut out the failed section, patch full depth, and match the grade so water still runs toward the street. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Plow blades and repeated freeze-thaw crossings punch potholes into Akron driveways every winter. We square the edges, tack the joint, and compact full-depth patches before cold patch is your only option. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | On Akron's heavy clay, a mill and overlay renews the surface without disturbing a sound base. It works well on many post-war ranches and split-levels in Stow and Cuyahoga Falls once the base has proven solid. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Milling strips the failed surface layer down to a base that can still carry an Akron driveway. We remove that layer where alligator cracking has gone too deep for a simple overlay to fix. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | A driveway past patching gets torn out to the aggregate base and rebuilt for Akron's clay. We proof roll the subgrade, set pitch to shed water, and lay hot mix once spring saturation clears. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | Commercial lots around Akron need a base built for plow trucks and deep freeze-thaw. We grade, compact and pave lots across Summit and Portage counties to carry that load. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Repeated freeze-thaw crossings and sustained plowing break down Akron parking lots each winter. We mill and patch trouble spots, seal cracks before spring saturation, and restripe before summer traffic returns. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Recycled millings pack down into a firm, low-cost surface that drains well on Akron's clay. It suits rural driveways around Medina and Portage counties where a full hot mix budget is not the goal. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip gives a textured surface that handles Akron's freeze-thaw without cracking flat. It works well on the older colonial and Tudor revival lots around Fairlawn Heights, where a rustic look fits the house. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | Gravel drives need regrading here once spring saturation and plow traffic loosen the surface. We shape the crown, add fresh stone, and pitch it to shed water instead of holding it in the clay below. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | HOA roads across Summit County need a base sized for winter plow trucks and spring clay saturation. We coordinate phased paving across Hudson and Bath subdivisions so residents keep access throughout the work. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | Aprons at the street line take the worst of Akron's frost heave and plow-blade impact. We rebuild or widen that section and tie the new hot mix flush into your existing driveway. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | A sports court needs a level, well-drained base to outlast Akron's freeze-thaw winters. We grade for runoff on the rolling glacial lots near Portage Lakes, then lay hot mix asphalt sized for daily play. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically cost less per square foot due to equipment efficiency and material bulk pricing. A 500 sq ft driveway will have different per-unit costs than a 2,000 sq ft parking lot.
- Current Surface Condition and Preparation : Existing pavement that requires milling, removal, or extensive base repair will increase costs. A simple overlay on sound asphalt costs less than full-depth replacement with site preparation.
- Project Type and Material Selection : New asphalt installation, recycled millings, tar and chip, and gravel options each have different price points. Your choice of material directly impacts the final cost.
- Site Accessibility and Terrain : Steep grades, tight access points, or sites requiring special equipment handling may increase labor and equipment costs. Easy-access residential driveways typically cost less than complex commercial projects.
