Asphalt Paving in Delaware
Our asphalt paving services enhance the appearance and function of your property. From new surfaces to overlays, we use premium materials and precise methods to ensure long-term performance. Asphalt is a popular choice — it cures quickly, stands up to daily wear, and keeps maintenance costs low.
What We Offer
Asphalt paving is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your property’s curb appeal, functionality, and value. At Campos Mora Construction, we handle every stage of the process — from removing the existing surface and grading the subbase to laying hot-mix asphalt and finishing with precision compaction.
We work with both residential homeowners and commercial property managers across Delaware. Whether you need a new driveway, a private road, or a full lot surface, our crew brings the equipment and experience to get it done right the first time.
Delaware’s climate presents unique challenges for asphalt. Freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and summer heat all take a toll on pavement. That’s why we use high-quality hot-mix asphalt rated for Mid-Atlantic conditions and build every project on a properly compacted aggregate base. The result is a surface that performs for 20–30 years with routine maintenance.
We also offer asphalt overlays for surfaces that are structurally sound but showing surface wear. An overlay adds a fresh layer of asphalt over the existing surface — saving you the cost of a full tear-out while restoring appearance and function.
When You Need Asphalt Paving

What to Expect
Our step-by-step process for asphalt paving
- 1 Site assessment — we evaluate the existing surface, drainage, and subgrade conditions

- 5 Final compaction and edge finishing for a smooth, clean result
Asphalt vs Concrete
Asphalt
- Lower upfront cost — typically 30-40% less than concrete
- Faster installation and curing (24-48 hours vs 7+ days)
- Easier and cheaper to repair — patch individual areas
- Flexible surface handles freeze-thaw cycles well
- Requires sealcoating every 2-3 years
Concrete
- Longer lifespan — 30+ years vs 20-25 for asphalt
- Lower maintenance — no sealcoating needed
- Higher upfront cost but less lifetime maintenance expense
- Can crack under extreme temperature shifts
- Decorative options available (stamped, colored, exposed aggregate)
Our recommendation: For most Delaware driveways and parking lots, asphalt is the best value. It handles our climate well, costs less upfront, and is easy to maintain with regular sealcoating. Concrete is ideal for sidewalks, patios, and areas where you want a decorative finish.
Cost Factors
The cost of asphalt paving depends on several factors: the size of the area, condition of the existing base, thickness of asphalt needed, and site accessibility. Residential driveways typically require less material and labor than commercial lots. We provide free on-site estimates so you get an accurate price based on your specific project — no guesswork, no hidden fees.
