Hear from Our Customers
Your driveway stops being a problem. No more dodging potholes or explaining away cracked pavement to visitors. No more watching your property value suffer because your entrance looks neglected.
You get smooth surfaces that handle Tennessee weather without cracking every winter. You get materials that last decades, not years. You get a driveway that actually adds to your home’s value instead of detracting from it.
Most importantly, you get it done right the first time. No callbacks, no excuses, no surprise costs after we’ve started.
We’ve been serving Bellwood and Wilson County for over five decades. We’re veteran-owned, which means we understand the value of doing things right and keeping our word.
We’re not the guys who disappear after taking your deposit. We’re your neighbors. We’ve been part of this community long enough to know that reputation matters more than quick profits.
Our team knows Wilson County’s soil, drainage patterns, and weather challenges. We’ve paved thousands of driveways here, and we’re still getting calls from customers whose work we did twenty years ago – not for repairs, but for their neighbors’ projects.
We start with a site visit to assess your current surface and drainage needs. No generic quotes over the phone – every property in Bellwood has different requirements, and we price accordingly.
Next, we prep the area properly. This means excavating damaged sections, ensuring proper drainage, and creating a solid base. Most paving problems start here, so we don’t rush this step.
Then we install your asphalt using premium materials designed for Tennessee’s climate. We’re talking about surfaces that expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking. The kind that last decades, not just until your warranty expires.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through proper maintenance timing. You’ll know exactly when to seal your new surface and what to watch for as it settles.

Every project we complete includes proper site preparation, premium asphalt materials, and professional installation techniques. We handle residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and everything in between.
For Bellwood properties, this often means dealing with Wilson County’s clay soil and ensuring proper drainage. We install the right base materials and thickness for your specific traffic needs – heavier for commercial lots, appropriate depth for residential driveways.
You also get transparent pricing upfront. No hidden fees for “unexpected” conditions that any experienced contractor should anticipate. We’ve been doing this long enough to know what we’ll find when we start digging.
Our work comes with the confidence that comes from five decades in business. We’re not going anywhere, and neither is the quality of our work.
Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and current conditions. We prep and pour on day one, then return for final grading and cleanup.
Commercial projects vary based on size, but we work efficiently to minimize business disruption. We’ll give you exact timelines during our site visit, and we stick to them.
Weather can affect timing – we don’t pour asphalt in rain or when temperatures drop below 50 degrees. Tennessee weather is unpredictable, so we build buffer time into our schedules rather than rushing when conditions aren’t right.
Quality paving starts with proper base preparation and uses the right asphalt thickness for your needs. Cheap jobs skip the base work and use thin asphalt that fails within a few years.
We use 3-4 inches of asphalt for driveways, with proper compaction at each layer. Budget contractors often use 2 inches or less, which cracks under Tennessee’s freeze-thaw cycles.
The materials matter too. We use premium asphalt mixes designed for our climate. Cheap asphalt contains more filler and less binding agent, which means shorter lifespan and more maintenance headaches.
Residential driveways typically run $4-6 per square foot for quality work, including proper base preparation. A standard two-car driveway (20×40 feet) usually costs $3,200-4,800.
Commercial projects vary based on thickness requirements and site conditions. Parking lots need heavier-duty construction than residential driveways.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and site prep costs. No surprises, no “additional fees” that appear after we start. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we begin.
You can drive on new asphalt after 24-48 hours, but full curing takes about 30 days. We’ll mark off the area and give you specific timing based on weather conditions and asphalt thickness.
During the first month, avoid parking in the same spots repeatedly and don’t turn your steering wheel while stopped on the new surface. These habits can create permanent impressions while the asphalt is still settling.
We schedule sealing for 6-12 months after installation, once the asphalt has fully cured. This initial seal coat protects your investment and extends the surface life significantly.
Yes, we handle commercial parking lots, loading docks, and access roads throughout Wilson County. Commercial work requires heavier asphalt thickness and more robust base preparation than residential projects.
We work with businesses to minimize operational disruption. This often means working in sections or scheduling around your busy periods. We’ve paved everything from small office lots to large retail centers.
Commercial projects also require proper drainage design and ADA-compliant striping. We handle all permitting and ensure your lot meets local codes and accessibility requirements.
Seal coating every 3-5 years is the most important maintenance step. This protects against water penetration and UV damage from Tennessee’s hot summers.
Fill cracks promptly when they appear. Small cracks are normal as asphalt settles, but water infiltration through cracks causes bigger problems. We can handle crack filling as part of regular maintenance.
Keep the surface clean and avoid oil spills when possible. Oil breaks down asphalt over time. If spills happen, clean them quickly and consider spot treatments to prevent permanent damage.
