Our Residential Paving Services
New Asphalt & Concrete Driveway Installation
Driveway Replacement
When a driveway has extensive damage, recurring soft spots, or an unstable base, replacement may be the better option. Chris Paving removes the existing pavement, addresses underlying base and drainage issues, and installs a new asphalt or concrete driveway. Replacement also provides an opportunity to update your driveway’s layout or add parking space.
Asphalt Driveway Overlays
Driveway Widening & Extensions
Make room for another vehicle, improve access, or extend your driveway to reach additional areas of your property.

We help you create a layout that makes everyday parking and maneuvering easier.
Parking Pads & RV/Truck Parking Areas
Create dedicated parking space for extra cars, trucks, RVs, boats, or trailers. Chris Paving installs asphalt and concrete parking pads designed around your available space and the vehicles you plan to park. We consider vehicle weight, access, base preparation, and drainage when recommending the paving approach.

Add usable outdoor space and convenient paths around your home with a concrete patio or walkway. Chris Paving installs concrete surfaces for backyard seating areas, entrances, and connections between your driveway, home, and outdoor spaces. We plan the layout, grading, and drainage to suit your property and everyday use.
Driveway Repairs & Sealcoating
What We Evaluate Before Recommending a Solution
Every property has different paving needs. Before recommending a new driveway, overlay, replacement, or additional parking space, we consider the existing conditions and how you plan to use the area.
Existing Surface & Base Condition
Cracks, potholes, sinking, and recurring soft spots help determine whether the driveway needs surface repairs or more extensive work. The condition of the underlying base also matters when deciding whether an asphalt overlay is a suitable option.
Drainage & Property Layout
Standing water and runoff can affect pavement performance. We consider the driveway’s slope, surrounding ground, and connections to your home, garage, and street when planning repairs or new paving.
Vehicle Use & Parking Needs
A driveway used for passenger cars has different demands than an area intended for trucks, RVs, or trailers. We consider the vehicles using the space, available room, and access needs when discussing materials, widening, extensions, or parking pads.
Project Goals & Budget
Whether you want to replace a damaged driveway, improve its surface, or create more parking space, your priorities help guide the recommendation. We discuss suitable options and explain the factors that affect the scope and cost of the work.

Residential Paving FAQs
Planning a new driveway, replacing worn pavement, or adding parking space? Here are answers to common questions about residential paving throughout the Northshore and Southshore.
Can you widen or extend my existing driveway?
Yes. Chris Paving widens and extends asphalt and concrete driveways to accommodate additional vehicles, improve access, or create more room to maneuver. The best approach depends on your property layout, the condition of the existing driveway, and drainage.
Can you install a parking pad for an RV or truck?
Yes. We install asphalt and concrete parking pads for cars, trucks, RVs, boats, and trailers. Vehicle weight, available space, and access help determine the appropriate materials and base preparation.
Does my asphalt driveway need an overlay or complete replacement?
An overlay may be suitable when the existing driveway has surface wear, but the underlying pavement and base remain sound. Extensive cracking, sinking, recurring soft spots, or drainage problems may require repairs or replacement. We evaluate the driveway before recommending an approach.
Do you install both asphalt and concrete driveways?
Yes. Chris Paving installs both asphalt and concrete residential driveways. We can discuss the options based on your property, intended use, appearance preferences, and budget.
Can sealcoating fix cracks or potholes?
Sealcoating helps protect an asphalt surface, but it does not fill potholes or correct base failure. Cracks and damaged areas may need separate repairs before sealcoating. We assess the surface to determine which work is appropriate.
Do you install concrete patios and walkways?
Yes. We install concrete patios and walkways for backyard seating areas, entrances, and connections between your home, driveway, and outdoor spaces. Layout and drainage are considered when planning the work.
