The Challenge
This Cleveland, OH homeowner faced a significant challenge: a 150-foot driveway with two deteriorating layers of old asphalt that had accumulated over decades. The existing surface showed extensive cracking, settling, and drainage issues that were causing water to pool near the home’s foundation—a common problem that can lead to the hidden cost of driveway neglect affecting Northeast Ohio home values.
The driveway also bordered multiple landscape features and property elements that required careful navigation during the removal and installation process. The homeowner needed a contractor experienced in residential paving services who could handle the complexity while delivering a lasting solution.
Our Solution
Legacy Paving developed a comprehensive restoration plan that addressed every aspect of the deteriorating driveway:
- Complete Asphalt Removal: Our crew carefully removed both existing asphalt layers, ensuring proper disposal and protecting the surrounding landscape features. This level of asphalt repair expertise is essential for long-lasting results.
- Drainage System Installation: We installed a new driveway drain to prevent future water damage and protect the home’s foundation from pooling water.
- Base Preparation: Proper site preparation and grading ensured a solid foundation for the new asphalt surface.
- Premium Asphalt Installation: We completed professional asphalt installation for the full 150-foot driveway with high-quality materials designed to withstand Northeast Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Throughout the project, our team demonstrated careful attention to the many nuances the driveway bordered with, ensuring all adjacent features were protected and the finished product integrated seamlessly with the property. See more examples in our project gallery.
The Results
The completed project delivered exactly what the homeowner needed: a beautiful, functional 150-foot driveway built to last for decades. Key outcomes include:
- Complete surface restoration with removal of all deteriorated material
- Improved drainage protecting the home’s foundation
- Smooth, durable surface designed for Northeast Ohio weather conditions
- Enhanced curb appeal that adds value to the property
To maintain these results for years to come, we recommend periodic sealcoating to protect the surface from UV damage, water penetration, and Northeast Ohio’s harsh winters.
