Asphalt Driveway Installation in Stamford, CT
StoneForge Paving & Masonry installs new asphalt driveways and replaces worn-out ones. Asphalt is a smooth, cost-effective surface that handles Connecticut winters well when it is built on a properly excavated and compacted base, and every driveway we pave is graded for drainage and finished with clean, straight edges.
Why Choose an Asphalt Driveway
Asphalt flexes slightly with freeze-thaw cycles, which helps it resist cracking in our climate. It is quick to install, ready to drive on within days and easy to plow and maintain. With periodic sealcoating and prompt crack filling, a well-built asphalt driveway gives many years of reliable service.
We pave asphalt driveways in Stamford, Greenwich and Norwalk. Many homeowners pair a new driveway with Belgian block borders, a new driveway apron or drainage solutions to keep water off the surface.
Asphalt Options & Cost Factors
Options include full removal and replacement, new installation on a fresh gravel base, widening or extending an existing driveway, parking pads and turnarounds, and edge finishes such as Belgian block or stone borders.
Price depends on the size and shape of the driveway, the condition of the existing surface and sub-base, how much excavation is needed, the slope and drainage work required, the thickness of the asphalt and any borders or aprons. We give a clear written estimate after visiting your property.
