Asphalt Driveway Paving in Casper, WY

New Driveway Installation in Casper

A new asphalt driveway is the single most visible improvement you can make to a Casper property. We pour driveways for new construction, replacements of crumbling 1990s installs, and extensions onto existing concrete or gravel pads.

Our standard residential driveway specification is a 4-inch compacted base of 3/4-inch road base, followed by 3 inches of hot-mix asphalt rolled in two lifts. For driveways that see heavy trucks, RVs, or trailers, we go up to 4 inches of asphalt and 6 inches of base. Most homeowners don’t need that — but if your driveway holds your fifth-wheel year-round, it’s worth the extra hundred dollars.

Driveway Overlays vs. Replacement

If your existing driveway is structurally sound but the surface is cracked or faded, an overlay — pouring a fresh 1.5- to 2-inch layer over the existing surface — is roughly half the cost of full replacement and looks brand new.

If you’ve got alligator cracking, sunken sections, or the base is failing, an overlay won’t fix it. We’ll mill out the failed areas (or the whole drive) and rebuild from the base up. We’ll tell you straight which one your driveway needs — saving you thousands on a fix that won’t hold isn’t in our interest either.

Our Driveway Process, Step by Step

1. Site walk and measure. We measure the driveway, look at drainage and slope, and identify any soft spots, drainage problems, or root intrusion that need to be fixed during prep.
2. Written estimate. Itemized: tear-out, base, asphalt, edging, cleanup. No surprise charges on day-of.
3. Excavation and grading. We strip vegetation and old surface, then grade the base for positive drainage away from your house and garage.
4. Base course. 3/4-inch road base compacted in lifts with a vibratory roller. This is the step that determines how flat your driveway will be in 15 years.
5. Asphalt placement. Hot-mix delivered from a Casper supplier, laid with a paver, and compacted to spec while still in temperature.
6. Edge work and cleanup. Clean edges, hand-rolled transitions to garage and street, all equipment and waste hauled off the same day.

Choosing Between Asphalt and Concrete

Most Casper homeowners pick asphalt for cost — it’s roughly 30–40% cheaper than concrete — and for repair-ability: asphalt patches blend in, concrete patches always show. Concrete outlasts asphalt by 5–10 years if you’re willing to spend more up front. We do honest comparisons in our asphalt vs. concrete guide.
