Asphalt paving is the process of covering a roadway, driveway, parking lot or other surface with asphalt pavement. Asphalt pavement is made up of 95% stone, sand, or gravel bound together by asphalt cement. Asphalt is 100% recyclable which makes it better for the environment. Recycled asphalt is stronger, last longer and has a better rut resistance than virgin mixed asphalt. We recycle asphalt millings at our archer sand pit and also use it for existing construction projects. We are a full-service asphalt paving contractor providing driveway, roadway and parking lot paving services for new paving projects, resurfacing and repairs.

Are you looking to resurface your existing driveway or install a new one? Either way, O'Steen Brothers can handle your driveway installation project. We construct many different kinds of driveways including asphalt, concrete, limerock, and gravel. First, our team works with you to define the project specifics. Then we thoroughly evaluate the job site in order to recommend a solution that aligns with your project goals. Once we have decided on the details, our team will begin the driveway installation project.

We install concrete driveways, sidewalks, curbs, and patios for homeowners and commercial projects. First we evaluate the project and talk with you about the details of the project and the area where the concrete will be poured. Then we excavate the area to the proper depth, compact the soil and place wooden forms around the perimeter. Once the forms have been completed we check everything before we start pouring the concrete. After the concrete has been poured, it is important to cut control joints once the concrete has started to harden to prevent cracking.
