A Long-Lasting Driveway Starts Below the Asphalt

Why Proper Prep-work Matters

Asphalt is only as dependable as the surface beneath it. Poor drainage, soft soil, an inadequate gravel base, or improper grading can lead to cracks, sinking, potholes, and standing water. Byers Excavation and Paving can evaluate and prepare the full site, including excavation, grading, drainage, and compaction, before the asphalt is installed.

Preparing for Your Driveway Paving Project

Before Prep Day

Clear all vehicles and debris from the driveway area.
Notify us of any sprinklers, underground wiring, or invisible fencing.
Flag sprinkler heads or sensitive areas near the driveway.
Make sure outdoor water faucets are turned on.
If any changes to the original proposal are needed, contact your salesperson before prep begins.
Garage doors should be open for crew access.
We typically pave within a few days of prep unless otherwise scheduled.

On Paving Day

Keep the driveway clear of cars and objects.
Allow 5–7 days of curing before driving on the new surface. Wait up to 14 days in hot weather.
Postpone deliveries (oil, mulch, appliances, etc.) for at least 3 months.
Open garage doors to allow compacting equipment close access.
Have water accessible for crew equipment cleaning if needed.
Provide check payment to the crew if you're home that day.
Lightly water the driveway 1–2 times daily for two weeks to help with curing.

Long-Term Care Tips

Don't turn the steering wheel while the car is stationary on the driveway—this can leave marks.
Rotate where you park during the first 12 months to avoid indentations.
Avoid parking heavy vehicles like RVs or trailers on your new driveway.
Beware of sharp objects or pressure points like chair legs, kickstands, or heels on warm days.
Edges are most vulnerable—avoid driving or parking close to the sides.
Minor surface variation is normal due to asphalt mix inconsistencies.
Don’t leave leaking vehicles on the surface—oil and fluids can damage asphalt.

Driveway Replacement in Hermon, Maine

Top-Quality Excavating Services from Byers Excavation and Paving

This driveway had developed significant cracking and a noticeable dip that collected water and created an uneven driving surface. Because the damage went beyond the top layer of asphalt, simply patching or resurfacing it would not have corrected the underlying problem.

Byers Excavation and Paving removed the old driveway so the crew could evaluate and rebuild the area properly. The site was excavated, regraded, and prepared with a stable gravel base. The base material was carefully compacted to create a stronger, more even foundation for the new pavement.

Drainage was also addressed during the grading process. The driveway was shaped to help direct rain and melting snow away from low areas instead of allowing water to settle beneath or on top of the asphalt. This is especially important in Maine, where trapped water and repeated freezing and thawing can lead to cracking, heaving, and potholes.

Once the groundwork was complete, Byers installed and compacted a new asphalt driveway. The finished project created a smoother, safer entrance, improved water runoff, and gave the property a cleaner, more finished appearance.
