Hot Mix Asphalt Paving Done to Last
Asphalt paving covers the full installation of a new paved surface, from removing what is there to rolling the finished layer. Most pavement failures in Massachusetts start underneath, not on top. Soft subgrade, thin gravel, and poor drainage slope shorten the life of any driveway or lot.
Hermans Paving & Asphalt LLC works the base first. Excavation depth, processed gravel, and compaction are set before asphalt is ordered. Water is directed away from structures. The finished hot mix layer is rolled while hot, so the surface holds up under traffic and freeze and thaw cycles.
What Our Asphalt Paving Work Includes
Asphalt paving takes a different form on a home driveway than on a commercial lot. These are the paving jobs handled in Massachusetts.
-
Residential Asphalt Paving
Residential asphalt paving covers driveways, walkways, and private access roads at homes in Massachusetts. Each surface starts with excavation, a compacted gravel base, and grading that moves water away from the house. Hot mix asphalt is then laid and rolled.
-
Commercial Asphalt Paving
Commercial asphalt paving serves parking lots, apartment complexes, retail properties, and business entrances in Massachusetts. Thicker base layers and heavier compaction handle delivery trucks and constant daily vehicle traffic. Work is scheduled around business hours so customer access stays open.
-
New Asphalt Installation
New asphalt installation applies where no paved surface exists, such as gravel driveways, dirt lots, and property expansions. Excavation depth, gravel base thickness, and drainage slope are set before asphalt arrives. Proper base work determines how long the pavement lasts.
-
Asphalt Resurfacing And Overlay
Asphalt resurfacing installs a new layer over pavement that is worn on the surface but still solid underneath. An overlay restores a smooth finish without full excavation, which lowers cost and shortens the job. The existing base is inspected first.
-
Driveway Asphalt Paving
Driveway asphalt paving includes removal of the old surface, base compaction, and clean edge work along the property line. Slopes are set so runoff leaves the driveway instead of collecting near the garage or foundation. Massachusetts winters make that critical.
-
Parking Lot Asphalt Paving
Parking lot asphalt paving covers new lots, expansions, and full replacement of failing pavement in Massachusetts. Drainage layout, base depth, and compaction are matched to the vehicle loads the lot carries. Entrances and access lanes receive the same base preparation.

Asphalt Paving Questions We Get Asked
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from property owners in Massachusetts.
Most residential driveways in Massachusetts get two to three inches of compacted asphalt over a solid gravel base. Commercial lots need more, since trucks and constant traffic load the surface harder. We'll set the depth after checking your existing subgrade.
Sometimes, but not always. If the base is solid and the cracks are surface level, an overlay works and costs less than replacement. If the pavement is sinking or full of alligator cracks, that base has to come out first.
Most driveways get done in one or two days, depending on how much excavation and prep the site needs. Bigger commercial lots run longer and sometimes get paved in sections so you don't lose access. Rain can push the schedule.
No. Asphalt needs warm ground to compact right, and Massachusetts winters don't cooperate with that. We pave from late spring through the early fall. We'd rather book you for the next season than lay a surface that fails by spring.
Move cars, trailers, and anything else parked on the area we're paving. Keep pets and kids inside during the work. If you have sprinkler heads, invisible fence wire, or drain lines near the edges, tell us where they run beforehand.
No, every estimate is completely free. We come out, measure the area, look at drainage, grade, and the existing base, and send you written pricing. There's no obligation after that, and we won't chase you with follow up sales calls.
