ASPHALT PAVING SERVICES

Asphalt Paving in Crystal River, FL

New driveways, parking lots, and private roads built on a base engineered for Citrus County’s limestone and high water table.

Paving That Starts Below the Surface

Crystal River sits on the Kings Bay spring system, and that geology shapes every paving job here. The limestone bedrock is shallow, the water table is high, and in low-lying areas near the bay a poorly prepared base will hold moisture and pump out from under new asphalt within a season or two. Most of the failed pavement we are called to replace in this area did not fail because of the asphalt — it failed because the base underneath it was never built to handle standing groundwater.

We excavate to the depth the site actually requires, install and compact a crushed limerock base, verify compaction before a single ton of asphalt goes down, and grade the surface so water leaves the pavement instead of sitting on it. For commercial lots along US 19 and Citrus Avenue we spec a thicker structure to handle delivery trucks and loaded boat trailers. Residential driveways off Fort Island Trail and the surrounding neighborhoods get the same base discipline at a residential thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions

For residential driveways we typically place 2 inches of asphalt over 6 to 8 inches of compacted limerock. Commercial lots that see delivery trucks or loaded boat trailers usually need 2.5 to 3 inches over a deeper base. Because the water table is high near Kings Bay, we often go deeper on the base than the same job would require inland.
Most residential driveways are a one to two day job — excavation and base on day one, paving on day two. Commercial lots depend on square footage and whether we can phase the work to keep you open. We give you a day-by-day schedule before we start.
Stay off it for 24 to 72 hours depending on temperature and thickness. In Florida heat, fresh asphalt stays soft longer than it does up north — avoid parking in one spot, turning the wheel while stopped, or putting trailer jack stands directly on it for the first few weeks.
It depends on the scope and whether you are adding impervious area. Driveway aprons tying into a county road and most commercial work require permitting. We will tell you what your project needs during the estimate and can handle the paperwork.
April through October gives the warm, dry laydown conditions asphalt wants, though we schedule around the summer afternoon storm pattern. Many commercial owners prefer late spring or early fall so the lot is finished and cured well before manatee season brings visitors back to Kings Bay in mid-November.
Sometimes. If the base is still sound and the surface is just worn, an overlay is the cheaper option. If the pavement is alligatored, sinking, or holding water, the base has failed and an overlay will just crack in the same places. We core or probe the existing pavement before recommending either one.
