Asphalt Paving in West Springfield, VA

Asphalt paving in West Springfield is largely about driveways built during one decade. The community had 14,143 residents in 1970 and 25,012 in 1980, and most of its homes date to that era. The 2020 census counted 23,369 residents and 8,387 housing units, only 2.3 percent of them vacant. Many owners have been in place for years, and their driveways are now around fifty years old.

What fifty years does to asphalt

A driveway that old has usually been sealed, patched and overlaid. Eventually the original base gives out, especially along the tire paths and at the bottom of slopes where water collects. If your driveway shows spiderweb cracking, sunken spots or edges that crumble when you step on them, a new overlay will not last. Removing the old pavement, rebuilding the base and paving fresh will.

Two creeks, rolling ground

Accotink Creek forms the eastern border of West Springfield and Pohick Creek part of the western border, and the land rolls between them at around 272 feet. Driveways on the slopes toward either creek take runoff from the street above. When we repave, we set the surface to shed water before it reaches the garage and support the edges so they do not wash out.

Boundaries

The Fairfax County Parkway forms part of the southern border, Fort Belvoir lies beyond it, and the Norfolk Southern line runs along the north. Most public streets inside those lines are VDOT-maintained, and some neighborhoods have private or HOA streets. Replacing a driveway in its original footprint usually leaves the entrance alone; changing or widening it may bring VDOT's entrance rules into play.

Keeping a good driveway good

Not every driveway here needs replacing. If yours is firm with only surface cracks, crack sealing before winter and a sealcoat every few years cost a fraction of a new driveway and keep it looking clean.

Kings Park border

West Springfield sits near Kings Park, the first large subdivision in the area, and shares its rolling, wooded character. Mature trees shade many driveways, keeping them damp and dropping roots under the edges. We cut back lifted edges, protect major roots where we can and leave a clean shoulder that drains.

Schools and pools

Community pool lots and school-adjacent church lots in West Springfield are busiest in summer and on weekends. Spring and fall are the easiest times to repave or seal them.
