Asphalt Paving in Coral Springs, FL

Asphalt Paving in Coral Springs comes with two built-in questions: what is under the pavement, and how the finished job looks from the street. The city was chartered on July 10, 1963, on land that had been marsh until canals and levees drained it, and Coral Ridge Properties laid it out as a master-planned community with strict landscaping and sign rules.

That history matters below the surface. Ground that was once wet, then cleared and farmed for beans, needs a firm, well-compacted base before new asphalt goes down. During the estimate we probe the existing base, look for soft spots, sinking and edge breaks, and decide whether the job calls for an overlay, a partial base repair or a full tear-out and replacement.

Room for more cars

Coral Springs is a family city: Census estimates show 25.8% of residents are under 18, and households average 3.01 people. When a household has several drivers, driveway width and extra parking space are worth settling before you repave, while the old surface is coming up anyway.

Permits in Coral Springs

The city's Building Department FAQ says a permit is required to construct, alter or repair any structure or part of one, and it describes a narrow exception for general maintenance under $1,500 in labor and materials; whether that exception applies to driveway work is a question for the Building Department. The FAQ also notes that a permit expires if work is not started and an inspection requested within 180 days of issuance. We can help prepare the permit application where the city allows, and we suggest confirming the requirements for your property with the city.

Trees after Wilma

Hurricane Wilma's eye passed directly over Coral Springs in 2005, and the city estimated that the 2004 and 2005 storms reduced its tree canopy by about a third. Replanted shade trees keep growing, and their roots can lift driveway edges and parking lot curbs as they spread. We note nearby trees when setting edges and thickness so the new pavement has a better chance of staying flat.

Fitting the streetscape

The city's founders kept tight control over landscaping and signs, to the point that an early edition of Trivial Pursuit asked about its McDonald's without golden arches. That attention to appearance carries over to driveways. Clean saw-cut edges, a crisp joint where asphalt meets the apron and sod, and an even, uniform finish matter here, and we restore disturbed sod edges and clean the site before we leave.
