Paving Contractor in Little Rock, AR

Paving in Little Rock Starts Under the Surface

Most driveways in Little Rock do not fail from the top. They fail from water that got underneath and never left.

We look at a lot of pavement in this town that is only six or seven years old and already breaking apart at the edges. Nine times out of ten the story is the same. The base was thin, the grade pushed water toward the slab instead of away from it, and one wet Arkansas spring did the rest.

Asphalt Rehab is a locally owned paving contractor in Little Rock, AR. We work out of 1421 Marshall St, just off the I-630 corridor, and we cover the whole metro. Driveways in Hillcrest, the Heights and Capitol View. Retail and office lots along Cantrell Road, Rodney Parham and University Avenue. Church and school lots out toward Maumelle, Sherwood and Bryant.

Central Arkansas is hard on asphalt in two directions. Summer sun bakes the binder out of an unprotected surface until it goes gray and brittle, and then the storms roll through and push water into every crack that opened up. Add clay soil that swells and shrinks with the seasons and you get pavement that moves under your feet.

So we spend our time on grade, base and drainage. Call (501) 406-0131 and we will come look at it for free.

Asphalt Driveway Paving in Little Rock

New driveways, replacements, widenings and extensions. Most residential drives go down in a day once prep is finished. You can walk on it the same evening and park on it in about three days, sooner when the weather is cool. We build the section for what actually parks there, because a drive that holds a work truck and a trailer is not the same drive that holds two sedans.

Parking Lot Paving for Little Rock Businesses

Retail lots off Chenal Parkway, office parks along Financial Centre, apartment communities in Midtown and church lots across the metro. The problem is always the same: you cannot close the whole lot for a week. We stage commercial work in sections so customers always have somewhere to park, and we run early mornings or evenings when a tenant cannot lose spaces during business hours.

Resurfacing and Overlays

If the base under your pavement is still solid and the damage is on the surface, an overlay gives you a new driving surface for a fraction of a tear out. We check the base before we recommend it. An overlay over soft, wet ground looks great for one season and then cracks in exactly the same places, which helps nobody.

Private Roads and Long Drives

Plenty of properties out toward Roland, Wye and the county roads west of town have long drives that were never built right. Water runs down them instead of off them and the surface washes out every spring. On those jobs the grading and the ditch work matter more than the asphalt, so that is where the budget should go first.

What Every Paving Job Includes

The part that decides how long your pavement lasts is the part you never see:

• Grade and shape the surface so water runs off, not into the base
• Dig out soft spots and rebuild them instead of paving over them
• Compact the base in lifts, then check it before any mix arrives
• Set clean edges so the pavement does not crumble from the sides
• Lay hot mix at the right temperature and roll it while it is workable
• Work around the season, since Arkansas plants run spring through fall

Why Little Rock Property Owners Call Us

We are a pavement rehabilitation company first, which shapes how we quote. Our whole business is built on making surfaces last, so we will tell you when a repair beats a repave and when it does not.

We are locally owned and based in Little Rock at 1421 Marshall St. You are talking to the people who will be on your property, not a call center in another state.

Urgent work gets moved up. A pothole opening at a lot entrance where customers pull in is a liability, and we do not schedule that for next month.

Every estimate is free and in writing before we start, and the number does not grow midway through unless you ask us for more work.
