In the heart of Towson, MD—just a few blocks from Towson University and the shops on York Road—a local homeowner was tired of dealing with a worn-out concrete driveway. Between cracks, drainage issues, and years of patchwork repairs, it was time for a fresh start.
That’s when they reached out to our team at All State Paving for a complete driveway replacement.
Project Overview: Asphalt Driveway Replacement in a Historic Towson Neighborhood
This home is located in one of Towson’s picturesque, older neighborhoods near Loch Raven Boulevard, where many of the original concrete driveways are beginning to show signs of wear. The homeowner desired an asphalt driveway that not only looked great but could also withstand heavy use and require minimal maintenance.
The existing driveway had extensive surface cracking, uneven settling near the garage apron, and poor water runoff, which was starting to affect the foundation.
Switching from concrete to asphalt was a smart move for both aesthetics and long-term performance—especially in a climate like Maryland’s, where freeze-thaw cycles take a toll on hard surfaces.
Our Process: Replacing the Driveway from the Ground Up
Our experienced crew followed a step-by-step process to ensure a smooth, long-lasting result:
1. Full Concrete Removal
We began by breaking up and hauling away the old concrete slab. Because the property had minimal space between the driveway and neighboring homes, we used compact equipment designed for tighter residential lots common in Towson’s older neighborhoods.
2. Grading & Drainage Correction
Next, we regraded the area to improve water runoff, sloping the surface slightly away from the home. This is crucial in Baltimore County, where seasonal storms can quickly overwhelm poorly drained driveways.
3. Installing a New Stone Base
We laid and compacted a 6-inch crushed stone base to provide the right support and drainage. In areas prone to water accumulation, like this property near Hillen Road, a solid base makes all the difference in preventing future cracks or sinking.
4. Laying the Asphalt
Finally, we applied and compacted a 3-inch layer of hot mix asphalt, ensuring a smooth, level finish that blended perfectly with the sidewalk and street.
To further enhance the durability, we also performed crack sealing and applied a protective sealcoating, ensuring long-term performance and protection for the driveway.
The Result: A Fresh, Functional Driveway That Adds Curb Appeal
In just two days, we can transform your uneven, cracking concrete driveway into a smooth, durable asphalt surface.
Our expert asphalt driveway repairs will not only enhance the look of your home with a sleek, black finish but also provide a seamless entrance from the curb to the garage, ensuring long-lasting durability with minimal maintenance required.
