Asphalt Paving in Mantua, VA

Asphalt paving in Mantua serves a quiet, wooded bedroom community near the City of Fairfax. The CDP is bounded by Route 50 (Arlington Boulevard) on the north, Little River Turnpike (VA 236) on the south and Prosperity Avenue on the east, with the Beltway about two miles away. It had 7,503 residents in 2020 on about 2.4 square miles of land, at an elevation of around 371 feet.

Streams through the neighborhood

Accotink Creek flows through the northern part of Mantua and Crook Branch, one of its tributaries, through the southern part. Homes along the slopes down to those streams have driveways that carry runoff in heavy storms. Edges wash out, low spots hold water and the base softens. When we repave, we build in a crown or swale and support the edges with backfill.

Trees and shade

Mantua is heavily wooded. Large trees keep driveways shaded and damp, drop leaves that hold moisture against the edges, and send roots under the pavement. We cut out root-damaged sections, protect major roots where we can, and leave clean edges that drain.

Older driveways

Many driveways in the neighborhood are decades old and have reached the age where repeated overlays no longer hold. If cracks reappear in the same pattern after each resurfacing, the base has failed and needs to be rebuilt.

Streets

Most streets in Mantua are VDOT-maintained public roads; widening or moving an entrance follows VDOT's private entrance rules. Just to the west, the City of Fairfax runs its own streets.

Near the City of Fairfax

Mantua's western edge is close to the City of Fairfax, and some addresses near the line can be confusing. For paving, what matters is who maintains the street in front of the house: VDOT in Mantua, the city just across the line. We check before any work at the apron.

Small parking pads

Some Mantua homes have room for a side parking pad off the driveway. Built on the same base as the driveway, a pad keeps extra cars off the lawn and the edges from breaking.
