How Asphalt Paving Kansas City Works

Asphalt Paving Kansas City paves, repairs and looks after asphalt across the Kansas City metro, from the Northland down through south Kansas City, out to the eastern Jackson County suburbs and across the state line into Kansas City, Kansas and Overland Park. That means new and replacement driveways, commercial lots, and the upkeep that follows: sealer, patches, crack work and stall lines.

Pavement here has to deal with three things at once: hills, clay and a long freeze season. Water that runs down a steep drive and soaks into a clay subgrade is what lifts and breaks asphalt when it freezes. So the first thing we look at on any site is where the water comes from and where it leaves, then how firm the ground is under the existing surface.

At the estimate we measure, photograph problem spots, check the slope at the garage and at the street, and note whether the job extends past your property line into the city's right-of-way. Kansas City, Missouri requires a permit and inspection for that approach, and each suburb has its own process, so we tell you at the start whether your job touches it.

You get a written quote that splits the job into removal, grading, base, asphalt thickness, edges and any sealing or striping, with a price on each part. Work is scheduled after you approve it, and changes are written down and approved before they happen.

How we work

• The base is graded and compacted before asphalt is placed; soft spots are dug out, not paved over.
• Paving is scheduled for ground and air conditions that let the mix compact while it is hot.
• Slopes are shaped so water leaves the pavement instead of pooling at the garage or the edge.
• Sealer, crack material and striping paint are named in the quote by type.
• Right-of-way and approach work is flagged before the job is scheduled.
• Nothing is billed that you did not sign off on.
