Asphalt Paving for Larkspur's Steep Driveways

Paving a steep driveway

A steep drive is harder on asphalt than a flat one. Water runs faster and carries more material, vehicles brake and turn on the same spots over and over, and snow and ice linger in the shade. Building one that holds up means getting the base and drainage right before any asphalt goes down, and shaping the surface so runoff leaves the drive at intervals instead of racing to the bottom.

We pay particular attention to the bottom of a steep drive where it meets the road and to any sharp turns along the way. Those are the points that fail first if the base is thin or the edges are unsupported.

• Compacted base sized for the grade and load
• Cross-slope and edge drainage along the full run
• Thicker asphalt at turns and the bottom apron
• Attention to shaded sections that hold ice

Is Larkspur inside your service area?

Yes. Larkspur is roughly 20 miles from Elizabeth, inside our 25-mile radius. Because it is a longer trip, we group Larkspur site visits with Castle Rock and Franktown work, so there may be a short wait for a visit. Once we have measured, the written quote comes by email just like any other job.

If your property sits well south or west of Larkspur, let us know the address and we will confirm it falls within our area before scheduling.
