Built for Franklin's New Hampshire winters
The reason we obsess over the base, the depth, and the drainage is simple: that's what survives freeze-thaw. A driveway or lot in Franklin is only as good as what's underneath it, so that's where we put the work — and it's why our surfaces hold up when others crack and heave.
What we see in Franklin
Franklin's older neighborhoods sit on hills, and many driveways are steep, narrow, or both. Water runs down them every time it rains, so grading and edge work matter as much as the asphalt.
A lot of those driveways are also decades old and past patching. When the base has failed, we tear it out, rebuild it, and repave so it lasts.
Our paving process in Franklin
Free on-site estimate
We visit your property, measure the area, talk through drainage and how you use the space, then send a clear written quote. No pressure and no surprise add-ons later.
Excavate & grade
We remove the old surface or sod, then cut and shape the sub-grade so water sheds away from your home and garage instead of pooling on the pavement.
Base & compaction
A crushed gravel base is brought to depth and compacted in lifts. A solid, well-drained base is what keeps New Hampshire frost from heaving the asphalt later.
Pave & roll
Hot-mix asphalt is laid with a paver and compacted with a roller while it's hot, building a smooth, tightly knit mat at the right depth for the job.
Final walkthrough
We clean up, check the edges and slope with you, and explain how to care for fresh asphalt through its first season so the surface cures hard and even.

What asphalt services do you offer in Franklin?
In Franklin we handle new driveway installation and replacement, asphalt resurfacing and overlays, commercial parking lot paving, pothole and crack repair, and sealcoating — the full range, all built on a properly compacted base.
Why does asphalt crack so much in New Hampshire?
It's the freeze-thaw cycle. Water gets into the pavement, freezes and expands, then thaws — over and over all winter. That's why we focus on drainage and a solid base in Franklin, so water can't sit and do that damage.
