Asphalt Paving your Knoxville Area Home Driveway
Homeowners should consider repaving their asphalt driveway if it's showing signs of wear and tear like cracks, potholes, or crumbling. Not only will this prevent further damage from water seepage and improve safety, but a smooth, fresh surface can also enhance your curb appeal and potentially increase your home's value.

Driveway Sealcoating
Sealcoating is a process that applies a protective layer to an asphalt driveway. The sealant, typically made of asphalt or another durable material, helps shield the driveway from the damaging effects of weather, sun exposure, and chemicals like oil and gasoline.

Homeowners consider sealcoating their driveways for a few reasons. First, it extends the lifespan of the asphalt by protecting it from cracks and deterioration. Sealcoating can also improve the look of a driveway, restoring its black color and giving it a fresh, finished appearance. Finally, a sealed driveway may provide better traction for vehicles, especially during wet weather.

We all love our homes, and want them to look their best. If you need a new driveway, or need an existing one repaired, let the paving professionals of Payless Paving of Knoxville help keep your driveway looking its best.

Driveway Paving FAQs (Knoxville, TN)

These quick answers help homeowners understand paving, sealcoating, timelines, and what to expect. If you don’t see your question, call Payless Paving at 865-397-8107.

How do I know if my driveway needs resurfacing or full replacement?

If the surface has widespread cracking, potholes, or areas that keep sinking, the base may be failing and replacement is often the best long-term fix. If the base is solid and damage is mostly surface-level, repairs or resurfacing may be enough. We’ll inspect and recommend the most cost-effective option.

How long does a new asphalt driveway take to install?

Many residential driveways can be completed in a day, depending on size, grading, and weather. If excavation or base work is needed, the project may take longer. We’ll provide a clear schedule before work begins.

When can I drive on new asphalt?

In most cases, you can drive on new asphalt after about 24–48 hours. Hot weather can soften fresh asphalt, so we may recommend waiting a little longer for heavy vehicles or sharp turns.

What is sealcoating and why is it beneficial?

Sealcoating is a protective coating applied to asphalt that helps block UV, water intrusion, and chemical damage. It improves appearance, slows cracking, and can extend the life of your driveway when applied on the right schedule.

How often should a Knoxville driveway be sealcoated?

Many homeowners benefit from sealcoating every 2–3 years. Sun exposure, traffic, drainage, and the age of the asphalt can change that timing. We’ll recommend what’s best for your driveway after a quick look.

Do you fix cracks and potholes before sealcoating?

Yes. Sealcoating should never be used to “hide” structural issues. We prep the surface properly and address cracking and potholes first so the finished driveway looks better and lasts longer.

Do you offer free estimates for residential driveway work?

Yes — we provide free, no-obligation estimates for driveway paving, sealcoating, and repairs. Call 865-397-8107 to get on the schedule.
