You get a smooth, durable asphalt surface that enhances your property value and eliminates those frustrating potholes and cracks. No more worrying about water damage or expensive emergency repairs down the road.
Your new driveway or parking lot handles Wilton’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or settling. The proper base preparation and quality materials mean fewer headaches and lower maintenance costs for years to come.
You deal directly with the owner from estimate to completion, so there’s no confusion about timeline, pricing, or quality standards. Just straightforward communication and professional results that reflect well on your property.
We’ve been serving Wilton’s property owners for over 25 years, understanding exactly what works in this area’s climate and soil conditions. The owner personally oversees every project, ensuring the quality standards that Wilton residents expect.
In a community where property values average over $350,000, half-measures don’t cut it. That’s why we focus on proper base preparation, quality materials, and techniques that prevent the common problems that plague rushed paving jobs.
We provide year-round service, shifting to excavation and foundation work during winter months when asphalt paving isn’t optimal. This local expertise means you’re working with someone who understands Wilton’s unique requirements and seasonal challenges.
First, the existing surface gets properly evaluated and removed if necessary. This isn’t where corners get cut—poor base preparation is the main reason driveways fail early, costing you thousands in repairs later.
Next comes the critical base work. The subgrade gets properly compacted and graded for drainage. In Wilton’s climate, water management is essential to prevent freeze-thaw damage that creates potholes and cracks.
The asphalt gets installed at proper thickness for your specific use. Residential driveways need different specifications than commercial parking lots that handle delivery trucks. The owner oversees compaction and finishing to ensure a smooth, durable surface.
Final grading ensures water flows away from structures and doesn’t pool on the surface. You get clear instructions on curing time and maintenance to maximize your investment’s lifespan.

Driveway paving in Wilton typically ranges from $5 to $9 per square foot for quality asphalt installation, depending on thickness requirements and site conditions. A standard residential driveway of 600 square feet generally costs between $3,000 and $5,400 for complete replacement.
The final cost depends on factors like existing surface removal, base preparation needs, and drainage requirements. Properties in Wilton often require additional drainage work due to the area’s soil conditions and climate. We provide detailed estimates that account for all necessary work, so you won’t face surprise costs during the project.
Getting multiple quotes is smart, but make sure you’re comparing similar scope of work. Some contractors cut costs by skimping on base preparation or using thinner asphalt, which leads to premature failure and expensive repairs within a few years.
The optimal paving season in Wilton runs from late April through October, when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F during installation and curing. Asphalt needs proper temperature conditions to compact correctly and achieve maximum durability.
Spring and early summer are ideal because the ground has stabilized from winter freeze-thaw cycles, and you have the full season ahead for the asphalt to cure before winter weather returns. However, this is also peak season, so scheduling early is important for preferred timing.
Fall paving can work well if completed by mid-October, giving the asphalt time to cure before winter. We monitor weather conditions closely and will reschedule if conditions aren’t suitable, even if it means waiting for better weather. Proper installation timing is crucial for long-term performance.
You can typically drive on new asphalt after 24-48 hours, but avoid heavy vehicles or sharp turns for the first week. The asphalt continues curing for several weeks, gaining strength over time as it cools and hardens completely.
Temperature affects curing time significantly. Hot summer weather means longer wait times because the asphalt stays softer longer. Cool fall weather allows faster return to normal use but requires careful timing of the installation itself.
During the first few weeks, avoid parking in the same spot repeatedly, especially with heavy vehicles. Don’t place lawn chairs, grills, or other items with small contact points on the surface, as these can create permanent indentations. After 30 days, the asphalt reaches full strength and can handle normal residential use without restrictions.
Most driveway cracking stems from poor base preparation, inadequate drainage, or using asphalt that’s too thin for the intended use. In Wilton’s climate, freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on driveways with foundation problems or standing water issues.
Proper installation prevents most cracking issues. This means adequate base thickness, proper compaction, correct drainage grading, and using appropriate asphalt thickness for your specific traffic needs. Residential driveways need different specifications than commercial areas expecting delivery trucks.
Regular maintenance helps prevent small cracks from becoming major problems. Sealcoating every 3-5 years protects against water infiltration and UV damage. Addressing small cracks promptly prevents water from reaching the base layer, where it can cause significant damage during freeze-thaw cycles.
Most driveway paving projects in Wilton don’t require permits if you’re replacing existing pavement within the same footprint. However, new driveways, significant expansions, or changes to drainage patterns may require permits from the Town of Wilton.
If your project involves changing the driveway location, adding significant square footage, or altering stormwater runoff patterns, you’ll likely need permits. Projects near wetlands or that affect neighboring properties definitely require permit review.
We handle permit research and applications when needed, working directly with Wilton’s building department to ensure compliance. It’s better to check requirements upfront than face expensive corrections later. The permitting process typically takes 2-4 weeks, so factor this into your project timeline.
Asphalt overlay involves installing new asphalt over existing pavement, while complete replacement removes everything down to the base layer. Overlay costs about $3-5 per square foot compared to $5-9 for full replacement, but it’s only suitable for driveways with sound foundations.
Overlay works when your existing asphalt has minor surface issues but the base is still solid. If you have significant cracking, drainage problems, or base settlement, overlay just covers up problems that will reappear quickly. Complete replacement addresses foundation issues and provides a fresh start.
In Wilton’s climate, many older driveways need complete replacement because freeze-thaw cycles eventually compromise the base layer. We evaluate your specific situation and recommend the approach that provides the best long-term value, not just the lowest upfront cost.
