Driveways by Swartz Paving

Quick Answer

Driveway paving covers new asphalt installation and full replacements for residential and commercial properties. Most residential driveways are graded, paved, and finished within a single day, with the base sized and graded around the property's specific traffic and drainage needs.

Driveway paving covers new installations and full replacements for residential and commercial properties, sized and graded for the property's specific traffic and drainage needs.

A driveway looks simple compared to a commercial lot, but the same rules apply underneath — grading has to move water away from the garage and foundation, and the base has to be compacted properly or you'll see cracking and settling within a couple of years. We also take the time to clean up the edges and restore the grass and landscaping around the new driveway, not just pour asphalt and leave.

It often pairs well with patching & repairs, sealcoating, and crack filling. We provide driveways for properties across Sandusky and our Ohio service areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a driveway installation take?
Most residential driveways are completed within a single day, depending on size and site conditions. Larger driveways, extensive grading needs, or drainage work can extend that timeline — we'll walk you through the specific schedule for your property before work starts.
How soon can I park on a new driveway?
New asphalt typically needs a few days to cure before regular vehicle traffic, and longer in hot weather before parking in the same spot repeatedly, since a vehicle sitting in one place on freshly cured asphalt can leave impressions. We'll give you specific guidance based on the weather during your install.
What causes a new driveway to crack early?
Early cracking almost always comes down to inadequate base preparation — poor compaction, insufficient depth, or grading that doesn't shed water properly. We don't cut corners on base work for driveways just because the project is smaller than a commercial lot; it's the same standard.
Do you replace an existing driveway or only install new ones?
Both. Full replacement involves removing the old asphalt, evaluating and repairing the base as needed, and paving new asphalt in its place. We'll assess whether your existing base is reusable or needs rework before quoting a replacement.
Can you widen or extend an existing driveway?
Yes. Driveway extensions are graded and based the same way as new installations, and we match the new section to the existing driveway's grade and thickness so it ties in cleanly rather than looking like a patched-on addition.
