Your driveway looked solid back in October. By March it has a split running down the middle wide enough to catch a shoe. That is not bad luck. That is an Ozarks winter doing what it does every single year.
Water slips into a hairline crack, freezes overnight, expands, and pries the surface apart. Then it thaws and does it again. Clay heavy ground across Greene County holds that moisture right under the slab, so the damage builds from below while you are looking at the top.
We are Asphalt Pavers LLC, a licensed and insured asphalt contractor in Springfield MO. Our crews build for Missouri weather with real base prep and drainage planning, not a quick layer of black over a soft subgrade. Homeowners and property managers rate us 5.0 across our Google reviews. Ask for a free no obligation estimate and we will walk the property with you.
Some folks call us for a brand new drive. Others call because a parking lot is losing chunks near the entrance. A full service local asphalt contractor covers the whole range and manages the job start to finish instead of handing pieces to strangers.
You can browse our full paving contractor services overview to see how the pieces fit together on a single project.

Springfield crosses the freezing mark dozens of times between December and March. Each cycle widens whatever crack is already there. That is why we push crack filling here harder than a contractor in a mild climate would. A sealed crack in November saves a patch in April.
Clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Pavement sitting on unstable clay moves with it. Our crews compact the subgrade, set the right stone base depth, and grade so water runs off instead of pooling. Properties near Jordan Creek and low spots off Kearney Street need extra attention here.
Most residential drives finish in one to two days. We strip the old surface, correct the base, then lay and compact hot mix while it is still hot enough to bond. Done right, you get 15 to 20 years out of it. See details on asphalt paving in Springfield.
Retail and office lots take a beating from delivery trucks. We phase the work so half your lot stays open and customers keep coming in. ADA parking layout, striping, and ramp slopes are handled as part of the scope, not an afterthought.
Potholes, alligator cracking, and sunken edges rarely need a full tear out. We cut back to solid material, rebuild the base if the failure runs deep, and patch flush with the surrounding surface. Learn more about asphalt repair and patching.
Sealcoating every three to five years blocks water and UV damage. Pair it with annual crack filling and you delay resurfacing by years. It is the cheapest line item on any pavement budget.

Property owners ask this constantly. Here is the rough guide we use on site.
| Condition | Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| Scattered cracks under half an inch | Crack fill and sealcoat |
| Potholes in isolated spots, solid base | Cut and patch |
| Surface worn but structure sound | Overlay or resurface |
| Widespread alligator cracking, soft base | Full removal and rebuild |
| Standing water after every rain | Regrade and correct drainage first |
We will tell you when a patch buys you five more years. We will also tell you when it does not, because a patch over a failing base is money thrown away.

Catch these early and the fix is small. Wait two winters and the same area usually needs replacement.
Cracks you can fit a coin into
Faded gray color instead of dark black
Puddles that sit for hours after rain
Loose gravel collecting at the edges
Soft or spongy spots underfoot

We answer the phone. That alone puts us ahead of half the market. Beyond that, our estimates spell out materials, depth, and timeline so nothing surprises you on invoice day. From Rountree bungalows to warehouse yards near the James River Freeway, we have handled the terrain and the traffic loads that come with it. More about our approach on the Asphalt Pavers LLC home page.
Most residential driveways land in a range based on square footage, base condition, and access. A simple resurface costs far less than a full rebuild. We give free written quotes so you see the numbers before committing.
Typical homes finish in one to two days. Light vehicle traffic is usually fine after 24 to 48 hours. Full curing takes about 30 days, so avoid parking trailers or turning sharp wheels early on.
Late spring through early fall gives the best compaction temperatures. We schedule around cold snaps and wet stretches. Crack filling and patch work can often continue later into the season.
Residential driveway replacements often do not, but new approaches tying into a city street usually do. Commercial lots and drainage changes have their own requirements. We handle the paperwork side so you are not chasing it.
Ask for proof of insurance, a written scope with asphalt depth listed, and local references. A contractor working near Battlefield Road or Sunshine Street should be able to name recent projects nearby. Vague answers are a warning sign.
Reach out and you get a real site walkthrough, a written scope listing materials and depth, and a clear timeline before any work starts. No pressure and no obligation to book. Every winter you wait, small cracks turn into base failure, so earlier is always cheaper.
