What we do
Most Shreveport driveways that come to us have the same story: the old asphalt cracked, the stone underneath sank into the clay, and water now sits by the garage door. Paving over that only buys a year. We probe the base first, pull out the soft spots, lay fabric on the clay where it pumps, rebuild 4–6 inches of compacted stone and roll a 2-inch hot-mix surface with a crown that sends rain to the street.
If your driveway is still solid underneath and only looks tired, it may not need a new pour at all. Resurfacing or sealcoating can add years for a fraction of the price, and we will tell you so on the visit.

Why Shreveport Paving
- Base first. Shreveport clay swells when it rains and shrinks in the summer. A driveway only lasts if the stone underneath is thick enough and compacted, so that is where the work goes.
- Water off the slab. We set the crown and the edges so rain runs to the street, not to the garage or the foundation.
- Edges that stay put. Most driveway failures start at the lawn edge. We set edge support so the side of the mat does not crumble.
- Written scope before work starts. You get the depth of stone, the thickness of asphalt and the price in writing.
- One call. Call (318) 216-6124 and the person who answers books the visit.
What Asphalt Driveway Paving costs in Shreveport
Asphalt driveway paving in Shreveport runs $4–8 per square foot, or $3,000–7,000 for a typical driveway. Square footage, how much base has to be rebuilt and the thickness of the asphalt move the price. Turning a gravel drive into asphalt is its own job at $6–10 per square foot — see gravel to asphalt conversions.

Can you pave over my old driveway?
Sometimes. If the base is still solid and the problem is surface cracking, an overlay works and costs less. If the driveway has sunk, holds water or has alligator cracking, the base has failed and paving over it will crack again. We check on the visit and tell you which one you have.
How long before I can drive on a new asphalt driveway?
Walk on it the next day and drive on it after about three days. In a hot Shreveport summer, avoid turning the wheel while parked for the first couple of weeks.
