Driveway Paving
Borough drives, including tight and shared access.
Driveways, lots, and repairs across Lansdale and the North Penn area — borough properties with tight access and alley approaches, and the commercial lots along the main corridors.
Lansdale’s older residential blocks were laid out on a tight grid long before anyone was planning for modern equipment access. Twins and rowhomes with narrow drives, shared access between properties, rear alleys serving garages, and street parking on both sides that leaves very little room for a triaxle to stage.
None of that stops the work, but it does change how it has to be planned. On a borough job we look at the approach before quoting: where material can be dropped, whether we need smaller equipment or hand-laying, and what needs coordinating with the neighbours whose access we will briefly be occupying. A quote given without that assessment is a guess.
Shared and adjoining driveways are common here, and they are the most frequent source of complications. Where the boundary falls, who is paying for what, and whether both parties are paving at once are all questions worth settling before we schedule rather than on the morning. Paving one half of a shared drive and leaving a seam down the middle is possible but rarely what anyone wants.
Rear alleys serving garages are often the property owner’s responsibility for the section they use, and they take more punishment than the drive itself. They are also usually too narrow for full-size equipment, which is worth knowing before you get a price that assumed otherwise.
Borough drives, including tight and shared access.
Potholes, cracking, and failed sections rebuilt properly.
Commercial and institutional lots around the borough.
Crack filling and sealing every two to three years.
Narrow rear approaches, hand-laid where equipment will not fit.
Water directed away from foundations on tight lots.
We will look at the access as well as the driveway, so the price reflects the real job. Call (215) 997-1258.
Yes. Where a full-size paver will not fit we hand-lay and compact with a smaller roller, which is slower but produces a perfectly good result on a short residential drive. What matters is that we know beforehand, since it changes the labour and therefore the price.
Best if you both agree before we schedule. Ideally the whole drive is done at once and the cost split — you get one continuous surface with no seam, and it is cheaper per household than two separate mobilisations. If only one side is proceeding, we can pave to the boundary, but there will be a visible joint and the unpaved side will keep shedding water into your new work.
It varies — some alleys are borough-maintained and some are the responsibility of the abutting owners. It is worth confirming with the borough before commissioning work, because paving something you do not own is an awkward conversation to have afterwards. We are happy to quote either way once it is established.
That is exactly the question we work out when quoting. On streets with parking both sides there is frequently nowhere to stage a triaxle without temporarily occupying spaces, so we plan it, and we let neighbours know rather than simply arriving and blocking them in.
