Asphalt Driveway Paving Richmond VA
New driveway installations and full replacements across Richmond VA, Chester, Chesterfield, Henrico, Short Pump, Ashland, New Kent & Williamsburg
Asphalt Driveway Paving — Richmond VA & Central Virginia
A new asphalt driveway is one of the best investments a Richmond homeowner can make — adding curb appeal, protecting your property, and lasting 20–30 years with proper care. J. Worden & Sons has been installing and replacing driveways across Richmond, Chester, Chesterfield, Henrico, Short Pump, Ashland, New Kent, and Williamsburg since 1984. Our process begins with a thorough site evaluation: soil conditions, drainage slopes, existing base integrity, and excavation depth requirements — before a single shovel touches the ground.
Every driveway installation includes excavation to 8–10 inches in Virginia's clay soils, removal of all existing material, a properly graded and compacted crushed aggregate base, and 2–3 inches of premium hot-mix asphalt laid and compacted to a smooth professional finish. We clean the site completely. The result handles Virginia's freeze-thaw cycles and decades of vehicle traffic without premature failure.
