You’re tired of watching your driveway or parking lot turn into a cracked mess after just a few Tennessee winters. That’s exactly what happens when corners get cut during installation or when someone uses subpar materials that can’t handle our freeze-thaw cycles.
When we complete your asphalt project, you get surfaces that actually hold up. No premature cracking. No water pooling that leads to bigger problems. No embarrassing potholes that make your property look neglected.
Your investment stays protected, your property looks professional, and you don’t have to worry about calling someone back in two years to fix what should have been done right the first time.
We bring over five decades of combined experience to every asphalt project in Burns and Wilson County. As a veteran-owned business, we approach each job with the same discipline and attention to detail that served us well in the military.
We’ve been serving residential and commercial clients throughout the Nashville area long enough to understand exactly what works in Tennessee’s challenging weather conditions. That means using the right materials, proper installation techniques, and taking the time to do it correctly from the start.
Burns residents choose us because we’re local, we’re reliable, and we deliver results that last. No shortcuts, no surprises, just professional asphalt paving that protects your investment.
We start with a thorough site evaluation to assess your current surface, drainage needs, and any underlying issues that could cause problems later. This isn’t a quick drive-by estimate – we take the time to understand your specific situation.
Next comes proper preparation, which is where most contractors cut corners. We excavate to the right depth, ensure proper grading for drainage, and compact the base material correctly. This foundation work determines whether your asphalt lasts five years or twenty-five years.
The paving itself uses quality asphalt mix designed for Tennessee weather conditions. We install it at the right temperature, compact it properly, and finish with clean edges that look professional. Finally, we walk through the completed project with you to ensure everything meets your expectations before we consider the job done.

Properly installed asphalt in Burns typically lasts 15-25 years with appropriate maintenance. The key factors are using quality materials suited for Tennessee’s freeze-thaw cycles and ensuring proper installation from the start.
Tennessee’s weather can be particularly challenging for asphalt surfaces. Our freeze-thaw cycles, combined with occasional ice storms and heavy summer rains, put stress on pavement that wasn’t installed correctly. That’s why we use performance-grade asphalt mixes and take extra care with base preparation and drainage.
With regular maintenance like sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair, your asphalt investment will provide decades of reliable service. Skip the proper installation or maintenance, and you’ll be looking at replacement much sooner.
Asphalt paving creates a smooth, durable surface using hot asphalt mix, while tar and chip provides a more rustic appearance with better traction using liquid asphalt and stone chips. Both have their place depending on your needs and budget.
Traditional asphalt paving works well for driveways and parking areas where you want a smooth, finished appearance. It’s easier to maintain, provides good drainage when installed properly, and offers the professional look most Burns homeowners and businesses prefer.
Tar and chip surfacing costs less upfront and provides excellent traction, making it popular for rural driveways and roads. The stone surface resists wear from studded tires and provides natural skid resistance. However, it requires different maintenance approaches and may not be suitable for all applications, especially in residential neighborhoods with appearance standards.
Asphalt paving costs in Burns typically range from $3-7 per square foot for residential driveways, depending on thickness requirements, site conditions, and access challenges. Commercial projects vary based on size, traffic requirements, and specific site needs.
Several factors affect your final cost: the current condition of your surface, drainage requirements, thickness needed for your intended use, and any special preparation work required. A steep driveway or one requiring significant excavation will cost more than a simple replacement on level ground.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees for “unexpected” conditions that any experienced contractor should anticipate. Our goal is to give you an accurate price upfront so you can make an informed decision about your paving investment.
The ideal time for asphalt paving in Burns is late spring through early fall when temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees. We typically schedule most installations between April and October for optimal results.
Asphalt needs warm weather for proper installation and curing. Cold temperatures make the material difficult to work with and can prevent proper compaction, leading to premature failure. Rain also delays projects since we can’t pave on wet surfaces or when precipitation is expected during the curing period.
That said, we can often work during mild winter days when conditions are right. Emergency repairs sometimes can’t wait for perfect weather, and we have techniques for handling urgent situations. However, for planned installations, scheduling during warmer months ensures the best possible results and longest lifespan for your new asphalt surface.
Yes, we handle both residential driveways and commercial parking lots throughout Burns and Wilson County. Our experience with both types of projects means we understand the different requirements and can deliver appropriate solutions for each.
Residential paving focuses on enhancing your home’s curb appeal while providing reliable access. We pay attention to details like smooth transitions to existing surfaces, proper drainage away from your foundation, and finishes that complement your property’s appearance.
Commercial projects require different considerations: heavier traffic loads, ADA compliance for accessibility, proper drainage for larger surface areas, and coordination with business operations to minimize disruption. We’ve handled everything from small business parking areas to larger commercial facilities, always ensuring the finished surface meets both functional requirements and professional appearance standards.
New asphalt requires minimal immediate maintenance but benefits from sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt attention to any cracks that develop. Proper maintenance extends your pavement’s life significantly and protects your investment.
The first year after installation, avoid heavy loads and sharp turns while the asphalt fully cures. Keep the surface clean of debris and address any oil stains promptly to prevent permanent damage. Small cracks should be sealed quickly before water infiltration causes larger problems.
Sealcoating provides a protective barrier against UV rays, water penetration, and chemical damage from vehicle fluids. It also refreshes the appearance and makes your asphalt easier to clean. Regular maintenance costs far less than premature replacement and keeps your property looking professional year after year.
