Longmont sits on the same expansive clay base that moves driveways across the Denver metro, and the freeze-thaw cycles that crack pavement in the city hit just as hard on the plains. Your driveway in 80501 faces the same heaving, pothole damage, and base failure that we see from Capitol Hill to Aurora, and we know how to build it to last.

We have been serving Longmont homeowners and property managers since 2012. When your driveway cracks, settles, or potholes open up after a hard winter, or when you are ready to replace or resurface, we show up with a truck and crew from Denver, not from out of state. We measure your lot, explain what is actually wrong, and give you a written estimate with tonnage and thickness specs so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Asphalt Paving in Longmont (80501)

Longmont driveways sit on clay that swells when spring snowmelt soaks in and shrinks as the Front Range dries out. That ground movement happens regardless of the thermometer, and when the clay shifts under a driveway that was built on a thin or poor base, the slab heaves, cracks, or drops at the apron where it meets the street. Add in more than a hundred freeze-thaw crossings a year, and water gets into those cracks, freezes, and breaks the asphalt apart from the inside. Potholes open fast in Longmont because of that cycle, and they grow every time a tire hits the edge. We build driveways over a compacted aggregate base deep enough to handle the clay movement underneath. That base is the difference between a driveway that lasts fifteen years and one that fails in five.

Our team has installed and repaired residential driveways, parking lots, private roads, and gravel drives across Denver and the surrounding areas for over a decade. We know the Longmont lot layouts, the access challenges on narrow residential streets, and the drainage patterns that matter when you are grading and compacting a base. We are fully insured, with general liability and workers' compensation coverage on every job.

How a Job Works in Longmont

You call us at (720) 674-7204 or contact us online. We schedule a free on-site visit where we walk your driveway or lot, look at what is failing and why, and measure the area. We ask about access, drainage, utilities, and whether you have an HOA or shared property lines that affect the work. We take notes and photos, and we go back to the shop to write up a detailed estimate with the square footage, base depth, asphalt thickness, and tonnage so you see exactly what the job entails.

When you approve the estimate, we coordinate with the city of Longmont if permits are required for your apron or curb cut, and we call Colorado 811 for a free utility locate before we dig. We show up on schedule with a milling machine, a paver, a roller, and a crew. We remove the old asphalt if that is the job, grade and compact the base, lay the new hot mix asphalt to the thickness on the estimate, and roll it smooth. We haul away the debris, sweep the lot clean, and walk you through the finished work so you know what to expect as it cures.

New asphalt needs four to six weeks to fully cure before you seal it, and we tell you that upfront so you are not tempted by an upsell pitch later. We leave your property clean and your driveway ready to use.

A new asphalt driveway in Longmont typically runs from $6 per square foot and up, depending on the base condition and thickness. Resurfacing an existing driveway that has a solid base costs less, starting around $4 per square foot. Repair work, patching, and pothole filling start at $450 for a single pothole and scale up with the damage. The real cost drivers are the square footage, whether the base needs work, how deep we have to go, and drainage or grading on your lot. We do not quote a firm price over the phone because every driveway is different. Call us at (720) 674-7204 for a free estimate, or contact us online. We will come out, measure, and give you a written price with tonnage and thickness so you know what you are paying for and why.

Why do driveways in Longmont (80501) crack and heave so much?

Longmont sits on the same expansive clay base as the rest of the Denver metro. That clay swells when it absorbs spring snowmelt and shrinks as the Front Range dries out in summer. The ground literally moves under your driveway, even when the air temperature stays the same. Add in more than a hundred freeze-thaw cycles a year, and water seeps into small cracks, freezes, expands, and splits the asphalt wider. If your driveway was built on a thin base or compacted poorly, the movement is worse and the damage comes faster. A solid compacted aggregate base, built deep enough to handle the clay, is the only real fix.

Our driveway dropped at the apron and is holding water against the garage. Can you repair it, or do we need replacement?

A sunken apron usually means the base under it has settled or the clay has moved. If the rest of the driveway is still solid, we can remove the apron, regrade and recompact the base, and pour a new apron at the correct elevation. That is much cheaper than replacing the whole driveway. If the apron is cracked badly or the base is truly gone, we replace it. Call us at (720) 674-7204 to schedule a free assessment. We will look at the grade, the drainage, and the condition of the base, and tell you what makes sense.

How much does it cost to fill potholes in my Longmont driveway?

A single pothole repair starts at $450. If you have multiple potholes scattered across the driveway, the cost adds up fast, and at a certain point resurfacing the whole driveway becomes the smarter choice. Once alligator cracking (small interlocking cracks like a checkerboard) covers more than thirty or forty percent of the surface, patching is throwing money away and the base is usually failing underneath. We assess the damage for free and tell you honestly whether your driveway is worth patching or whether it needs resurfacing or replacement. Call (720) 674-7204.

Does the city of Longmont require permits for a new driveway or apron?

Longmont has its own permitting and regulations for driveway aprons, curb cuts, and impervious surface limits. The rules vary from one municipality to the next across Greater Denver. You should contact the city of Longmont Planning and Zoning Department or Building Services to verify what permits you need for your specific project. If you have an HOA, check your architectural standards as well, because many master-planned communities in the area restrict driveway material and extensions. We help you navigate the local permitting process and coordinate with the city, but the homeowner is responsible for confirming the rules with Longmont.

We share a driveway with our neighbor. Who is responsible for repairs, and can we pave it without their permission?

A shared driveway is a property line and legal issue that you and your neighbor need to settle before any work starts. Your property deed and any easement documents will spell out who owns what and who pays for maintenance and repairs. If you and your neighbor both own the driveway, you typically both need to agree and contribute to the cost. If one of you owns it, the owner usually makes the decision. Get that sorted out in writing before you call us. Once you have agreement, we will pave the shared driveway just like any other job. We are fully insured, and we will coordinate with both of you on timing and access.

Are you fully insured for work at my Longmont home?

Yes. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance on every job. Our crew is insured, and your property is protected while we work. We are not a one-man operation or a cash-only shop. You can hire us with confidence that the work is covered and that you have recourse if something goes wrong.

It is early spring and our driveway has new cracks. What should we do before winter comes back?

Spring is when you want to assess the damage and plan ahead. Small surface cracks can be sealed to keep water out, but we do not offer sealcoating as a service. If the cracks are extensive or alligator cracking is spreading, resurfacing now will save you money before the next freeze-thaw cycle. A new asphalt surface needs four to six months to cure before you seal it, so spring and early summer are the right time to do the work. By the time winter arrives, the asphalt will be solid and ready to handle the freeze-thaw cycles. Call us at (720) 674-7204 to schedule a free assessment and discuss whether patching, resurfacing, or replacement makes sense for your driveway.
