Comprehensive Residential Paving Services
The Hansen Asphalt Residential Advantage
Designed for Iowa’s Climate
We design and install residential asphalt surfaces that withstand Iowa’s challenging freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rains, and temperature extremes. Our driveways are built to last in Eastern Iowa conditions.
Proper Drainage Solutions
Water is the enemy of asphalt longevity. Our team carefully evaluates your property’s drainage patterns and incorporates appropriate slopes, crowning, and water management features to protect your investment.
Custom Designs & Layouts
Every property is unique, and we take the time to design driveway solutions that complement your home’s style and meet your specific needs. From simple straight driveways to curved designs with expanded parking areas, we create custom solutions.
Minimally Invasive Process
We respect your property throughout the installation process, taking care to protect landscaping, hardscaping, and other features. Our efficient crews complete most residential projects in just 1-2 days, minimizing disruption to your daily life.
Meticulous Installation Process
Our residential paving projects follow a systematic approach:
- Initial Site Preparation – Removing existing surfaces, excavating to proper depth
- Base Construction – Installing and compacting aggregate foundation materials
- Grading & Drainage – Establishing proper slopes and water management
- Asphalt Application – Placing and compacting hot-mix asphalt to precise specifications
- Edge Detailing – Creating clean, defined edges for aesthetic appeal
Final Inspection – Thorough quality check before project completion
To keep your asphalt driveway in top shape, routine maintenance is key. This includes regular crack filling to prevent water from seeping in and causing further damage, as well as timely pothole repairs to maintain a smooth and safe surface. While some companies recommend sealcoating, Hansen Asphalt focuses on structural maintenance that truly extends the life of your driveway. Addressing minor issues early can help avoid costly repairs or full replacement down the road.
The condition and age of your driveway will help determine the right solution. If your driveway has minor cracks, fading, or surface-level wear, resurfacing may restore its appearance and extend its life. However, if you’re seeing widespread cracking, drainage issues, sinking, or a crumbling base, a full replacement is likely the best option. Our team at Hansen Asphalt offers free inspections and can recommend the most cost-effective, long-lasting solution based on your driveway’s condition.
- Lower initial installation cost
- Faster installation and usability
- Better performance in freeze-thaw cycles
- Easier and less expensive repairs
- Superior winter traction and snow removal
- Attractive, finished appearance
Most residential driveways can handle foot traffic immediately and light vehicle traffic after 24-48 hours. We recommend waiting 3-5 days before parking heavy vehicles or equipment on your new asphalt surface.
With proper installation and regular maintenance, a residential asphalt driveway typically lasts 15-20 years in Eastern Iowa’s climate. Factors affecting longevity include usage patterns, maintenance practices, and local conditions.
We proudly serve commercial and residential clients in Eastern Iowa, including Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Oxford, Tiffin, West Branch, Dubuque, Mt. Pleasant, and surrounding areas.
