Englewood's post-war ranch homes sit on narrow lots with driveways poured fifty years ago, and the clay underneath moves with every spring thaw and hard freeze. Denver Asphalt Paving has been fixing and replacing those driveways since 2012, and we know exactly why they heave, crack, and drop at the apron in this part of the metro.
If your driveway in 80110 is showing alligator cracking, has settled where it meets the garage, or has pothole damage from the freeze-thaw cycle, our team can assess what will hold and what needs replacement. We're based in Denver, we serve Englewood and the surrounding areas, and we work with the local permitting process because we're here year-round.
Asphalt Paving in Englewood (80110)
Englewood's older neighborhoods have narrow lots and tight driveways that were never designed for modern trucks and equipment. Access matters here. The clay and bentonite soil underneath heaves with spring snowmelt and shrinks as the Front Range dries out, which puts constant pressure on any slab laid without a proper compacted aggregate base. Add in more than a hundred freeze-thaw cycles a year, and pavement that gets a quarter more ultraviolet exposure than sea-level asphalt, and a driveway from the 1970s or 1980s is usually failing by now.
We've been serving Englewood and the Denver area since 2012. We know the soil conditions, the drainage challenges on these older lots, and how to size a base deep enough to handle the ground movement. We also know when patching makes sense and when the money belongs in resurfacing or replacement. If your driveway is more than thirty or forty percent failed, or has extensive alligator cracking, a patch will not hold, and we'll tell you that plainly.

How a Job Works in Englewood
We start with a free on-site assessment. We measure your driveway or lot, look at the base condition, check drainage and grading, and talk through what's failed and why. We'll give you a written estimate with tonnage and thickness specs so you know exactly what you're getting. If your property has an HOA or if your driveway apron touches the street, we'll help you understand what permits or approvals Englewood requires.
When we're ready to pave, our crew shows up with a paver and a roller sized to fit your lot. On narrow Englewood driveways, that means careful planning and sometimes a smaller crew setup. We haul away the old material if it's full-depth replacement, prepare and compact the base, and lay the hot mix asphalt to the thickness your driveway actually needs. We clean up completely when we're done and walk through the finished work with you.
New asphalt needs six to twelve months to cure fully, so we don't recommend any sealing during that window. After that, regular maintenance keeps it in good shape for years.
Driveway paving in Englewood typically runs from $6 per square foot for new installation, and resurfacing or overlay starts around $4 per square foot, depending on the square footage, the condition of the base, and how thick we need to build. A pothole repair or patch job starts at $450, and a full driveway replacement usually runs $7 per square foot or higher depending on base work and grading. If your lot needs grading, drainage work, or a new apron where the driveway meets the street, those factors affect the total. The best way to know what your specific job costs is a free on-site estimate. Call us at (720) 674-7204 and we'll come measure and quote it honestly.
