| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | Winston-Salem sits on red Piedmont clay, so a new driveway needs a compacted stone base before the hot mix goes down. We grade for drainage on the sloped lots common in Ardmore and Reynolda Park, then pave once the clay has dried out enough to hold a stable base. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Summer downpours and the occasional hard freeze open cracks fast in a Piedmont clay-based driveway. We cut out the failed section, patch full depth, and match the grade so water keeps running toward the street instead of pooling against the foundation. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Summer storms and hard freezes punch potholes into Winston-Salem driveways, especially near washed-out clay edges. We square the edges, tack the joint, and compact a full-depth patch instead of leaving cold patch to wash out again next storm. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | On a Piedmont clay base that's still sound, a mill-and-overlay renews the surface without tearing out what's underneath. It works well on the mid-century ranch driveways common in Konnoak Hills and Sherwood Forest once the base has proven it can still carry the load. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Milling strips the failed surface layer down to a base that can still carry a Winston-Salem driveway or lot. We remove that layer where alligator cracking has gone too deep for a simple overlay to fix, common on older driveways around Old Salem and the West End. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | A driveway past patching gets torn out to the aggregate base and rebuilt to handle Piedmont clay. We proof-roll the subgrade, set pitch to shed water downhill, and lay hot mix once the clay has dried enough to hold a stable base. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | Commercial lots around Winston-Salem need a base built for summer storm runoff and daily truck traffic. We grade, compact and pave lots from the Hanes Mall Boulevard corridor to Kernersville business parks to carry that load. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Heavy summer storms and daily traffic break down Winston-Salem parking lots over time. We mill and patch trouble spots, seal cracks before the next storm season, and restripe before customer traffic picks back up. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Recycled millings pack down into a firm, low-cost surface that drains well on Piedmont clay. It suits the rural driveways common around East Bend and the Yadkin Valley, where a full hot mix budget isn't the goal. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip gives a textured surface that handles Piedmont freeze-thaw swings without cracking flat. It works well on the older Victorian and Moravian-era lots around Old Salem and the West End, where a rustic look fits the house. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | Gravel drives need regrading here once summer storm runoff and red clay washout loosen the surface. We shape the crown, add fresh stone, and pitch it to shed water instead of holding it in the clay below, common on the long rural drives around King and the Yadkin Valley. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | HOA streets across the Piedmont Triad need a base sized for summer storm saturation and daily resident traffic. We coordinate phased paving across subdivisions like Brookberry Farm and Bermuda Run so residents keep access throughout the work. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | Aprons at the street line take the worst of storm runoff and daily traffic wear. We rebuild or widen that section on lots around West Highlands and Ardmore, tying 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 handle Piedmont Triad summer storms and daily play. We grade for runoff on the gently sloped lots common around Lewisville and Clemmons, then lay hot mix asphalt sized for a basketball or pickleball court. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically cost less per square foot due to equipment efficiency and material bulk purchasing. A 500 sq ft driveway will have different per-unit costs than a 2,000 sq ft parking lot.
- Surface Condition and Preparation : Existing pavement condition determines prep work needed. Poor drainage, cracks, or soft base layers require additional grading, removal, or milling before new asphalt can be installed properly.
- Material Selection : Standard asphalt, recycled millings, tar and chip, and gravel each have different costs. Premium materials and specialty finishes may increase the overall project price.
- Site Accessibility and Complexity : Steep slopes, tight spaces, mature trees, or obstacles require specialized equipment and extra labor. Easy-access, flat sites are generally more cost-effective to complete.

Pricing FAQ
