Asphalt Paving in Sunbury, OH

Sunbury changed from a village to a city on October 22, 2021, and asphalt paving in Sunbury now serves a fast-changing mix of property. The old village center sits alongside new subdivisions, and country homes with long drives surround both. Big Walnut Creek passes east of Sunbury and flows into Hoover Reservoir before it enters Franklin County. We pave new driveways, resurface, repair, sealcoat, and pave small business lots in and around Sunbury.

New construction driveways

Many Sunbury homes are new or nearly new. A new driveway is only as good as the base under it. On a new build, the soil around the house has often been disturbed and backfilled, and it can keep settling for a while. We check that the subgrade is firm, compact the stone base in layers and pave at the right thickness for cars and the occasional delivery truck. A year or so after paving, once the asphalt has cured, a first sealcoat helps protect it.

Older village homes

Homes near the old village square often have shorter, narrower driveways that have been patched over the years. We look at whether the base is still sound. If it is, resurfacing gives a fresh surface for less. If not, we remove the old asphalt and rebuild.

Upstream of the water supply

Hoover Reservoir holds 20.8 billion gallons and is a major water source for Columbus. Since runoff from around Sunbury drains toward Big Walnut Creek and the reservoir, we keep sealcoat, cleanup water and loose material out of storm drains and ditches on every job. On country lots near the creek, we also pay attention to culverts and ditch lines where driveways meet the road.

Long rural drives and gravel conversions

Outside town, many properties have long gravel drives. Converting gravel to asphalt means reshaping and compacting the existing stone, adding more where it is thin, then paving with a crown and firm shoulders so the edges hold.

What to expect on paving day

Most residential driveways in Sunbury take a day or less to pave once the base is ready. We set up, remove or grade the old surface, compact the stone, lay the hot asphalt and roll it. You will need to keep cars off the new surface for a few days, longer in hot weather, and avoid sharp turns of the steering wheel while parked for the first weeks. We go over all of this before we leave.
