Ramp login asphalt paving starts here: DRED FRE turns rough, muddy, or worn-out yards into clean asphalt surfaces you'll actually enjoy using. Whether it's a private backyard pad, a side yard for extra parking, or a shared courtyard between homes, we build it on a proper base so it stays flat and sheds water for years.
A yard is a harder paving job than most people expect. Unlike a plain rectangular driveway, yards often have odd shapes, low spots that collect water, tree roots, and soft soil that was never meant to carry vehicle weight. Paving over those problems without fixing them is how you end up with a surface that cracks and sinks in a single season. That's why we treat the ground under the asphalt as the real project.
How We Pave a Yard
1. Grading and drainage
Before any asphalt is ordered, we walk the yard and shoot the grades. Water has to go somewhere, so we set a slope — usually a gentle pitch away from the house and toward a swale, drain, or the street. If the yard holds water today, it will hold water under new asphalt too, so we correct it now rather than pretend it isn't there.
2. Base preparation
Next comes the part you'll never see but will always feel: the stone base. We excavate to the right depth, remove soft or organic soil, and bring in graded aggregate that gets compacted in lifts. A well-built base spreads the load of cars and trucks so the asphalt on top never has to work alone. On soft yards we'll add depth or geotextile fabric to keep everything stable.
3. Hot-mix asphalt
With the base compacted and to grade, we lay hot-mix asphalt at the correct temperature and roll it while it's still workable. Most residential yards get a single generous lift; heavier-use courtyards get two. Proper rolling is what seals the surface, so we don't rush it — a mat that's rolled at the right time keeps water out and stays smooth underfoot.
4. Edges and finish
We hand-work the perimeter so your new pavement has firm, angled edges instead of crumbly ones. Clean edges are the first thing to fail on a cheap job, and the last thing to fail on ours.
What It Costs
Yard paving is priced per square foot, and the number moves with access, base condition, and thickness. As a starting point, most yard asphalt paving runs in the low-to-mid dollars per square foot, with soft-soil repairs or drainage work quoted separately. You approve the exact figure in your Ramp Login before we schedule a single truck — no surprises on paving day.
