Hear from Our Customers
You’re tired of looking at cracked, deteriorating pavement every day. Whether it’s your home’s driveway making a poor first impression or your business parking lot turning customers away, bad paving affects more than just appearance.
Quality asphalt paving transforms your property immediately. Your driveway becomes a source of pride instead of embarrassment. Your parking lot welcomes customers instead of warning them away with potholes and cracks.
The difference goes beyond looks. Professional paving handles Tennessee’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rains, and summer heat without falling apart in two years. You get smooth surfaces that last, proper drainage that prevents water damage, and peace of mind knowing the job was done right the first time.
TriStar Paving brings military precision to every paving project in Wilson County. With over 50 years of combined experience, we understand what works in Tennessee’s challenging climate and what doesn’t.
Being veteran-owned means showing up when promised, completing projects on schedule, and standing behind every job. We’ve built our reputation one driveway and parking lot at a time throughout the Nashville area.
Local knowledge matters in paving. We know how Wilson County soil behaves, how Tennessee winters affect asphalt, and which techniques deliver lasting results in this climate. You’re not getting generic paving solutions—you’re getting expertise tailored to Angeltown conditions.
The process starts with a site evaluation where we assess your current pavement, drainage needs, and soil conditions. No surprises, no hidden issues discovered halfway through the job.
Preparation comes next. We properly excavate and grade the area, install appropriate base materials, and ensure proper drainage slopes. This foundation work determines how long your pavement lasts, so we don’t cut corners.
The asphalt installation follows industry best practices. We use quality materials, maintain proper temperatures, and achieve optimal compaction. The final result is smooth, even pavement that handles traffic and weather without premature failure.

Residential paving covers everything from new driveway installation to existing driveway repairs and resurfacing. We handle standard asphalt driveways, decorative options, and specialized applications like tar and chip surfaces for rural properties.
Commercial paving focuses on parking lots, access roads, and loading areas that handle heavy traffic. We understand ADA compliance requirements, proper striping layouts, and the durability standards commercial properties demand.
Wilson County properties face unique challenges from clay soils, seasonal temperature swings, and heavy rainfall. TriStar Paving addresses these local conditions with appropriate base preparation, drainage solutions, and asphalt specifications that perform in Tennessee’s climate year after year.
Most residential driveways take one to two days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. The actual paving happens in one day, but preparation work might require additional time for proper excavation and base installation.
Commercial parking lots vary significantly based on size and scope. A small business parking lot might take two to three days, while larger commercial projects can require a week or more. Weather conditions in Tennessee can affect timing, especially during winter months.
You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24 to 48 hours, though heavy vehicles should wait longer. We’ll provide specific timing based on your project and current weather conditions.
Asphalt overlay involves placing new asphalt over existing pavement that’s structurally sound but showing surface wear. This works when the base is stable and there are no major cracks or drainage issues. It’s more cost-effective and faster than full replacement.
Complete replacement removes all existing pavement and starts fresh with new base preparation and asphalt installation. This is necessary when the existing pavement has failed, has drainage problems, or shows extensive cracking and settling.
In Wilson County’s clay soil conditions, full replacement often provides better long-term value because it addresses underlying base issues that cause premature failure. We’ll evaluate your specific situation and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your property and budget.
Proper drainage is critical in Tennessee where heavy rains can quickly damage poorly designed pavement. We evaluate existing drainage patterns and modify grading as needed to direct water away from the pavement surface.
This might involve adjusting slopes, installing catch basins, or creating swales to handle runoff. For driveways, we ensure water flows toward the street or designated drainage areas rather than pooling on the surface or running toward your home’s foundation.
Commercial projects often require more complex drainage solutions including underground systems, retention areas, or connections to existing storm water management systems. We coordinate with local requirements and ensure compliance with Wilson County drainage regulations.
New asphalt needs minimal maintenance for the first few years if installed properly. Sealcoating every two to three years helps protect the surface from UV damage, water penetration, and chemical spills like oil or gasoline.
Small cracks should be filled promptly to prevent water infiltration that can damage the base. In Tennessee’s freeze-thaw climate, water that gets into cracks expands when frozen and can quickly turn minor issues into major problems.
Regular cleaning removes debris that can stain the surface or clog drainage areas. For commercial properties, prompt removal of oil spills and other chemicals helps maintain appearance and prevents surface deterioration. We provide specific maintenance recommendations based on your traffic patterns and usage.
Residential driveway paving typically ranges from $3 to $7 per square foot, depending on thickness requirements, base preparation needs, and access difficulty. A standard two-car driveway usually falls between $3,000 and $8,000 for complete replacement.
Commercial paving costs vary widely based on size, traffic requirements, and site conditions. Parking lots might range from $2 to $5 per square foot, while heavy-duty applications requiring thicker asphalt cost more. Site preparation and drainage work add to the base cost.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs including excavation, base materials, asphalt installation, and any additional work like striping or drainage improvements. No hidden fees or surprise charges after the work begins.
Local contractors understand Wilson County’s specific soil conditions, climate challenges, and municipal requirements. We know which base preparations work best in local clay soils and how to design pavement that handles Tennessee’s weather extremes.
Response time matters when you need repairs or have questions after installation. Local companies can address issues quickly rather than scheduling service calls weeks out. We also have established relationships with local suppliers for materials and equipment.
TriStar Paving’s reputation depends on satisfied customers throughout the Wilson County area. We can’t disappear after completing your project because our business relies on local referrals and repeat customers. This accountability ensures we stand behind our work long-term.
