Sandston's 1940s and 1950s ranch homes sit on flat Coastal Plain lots where summer storms leave standing water on driveways that lack proper crown and slope. If you live in 23150 near Richmond International Airport, you know that drainage problem well, and you know it gets worse every year.
Richmond Asphalt Paving has served Sandston homeowners and property managers since 2016. We understand the sandy soil, the flat terrain, and the way a poorly sloped driveway becomes a liability after heavy rain. We fix it honestly, with a written estimate and tonnage specs, and we get the work done right the first time.
Asphalt Paving in Sandston (23150)
Sandston's driveway challenge is drainage. The flat Coastal Plain terrain and sandy subgrade mean that water doesn't run off naturally the way it does in the rolling neighborhoods west of the Fall Line. A driveway without proper crown (a slight peak down the middle) or without sloped edges will pond after summer thunderstorms, and standing water breaks down asphalt fast. It also pools against your garage foundation, and that costs money to fix later. We see this pattern constantly in 23150.
The other challenge is access. Many Sandston lots are compact, with narrow driveways and tight turnarounds. A paver and a roller need room to work. We plan the job around your lot layout and your neighbors, and we get the equipment in and out cleanly.
We've been paving driveways, parking lots, and private roads across Richmond and the surrounding areas since 2016. We know the soil, the weather patterns, and the permitting rules for Sandston and Henrico County. We're fully insured, and we show up on time with a crew that knows what they're doing.

How a Job Works in Sandston
We start with a free on-site assessment. We'll walk your driveway with you, look at the drainage, check the edges and the base, and talk about what's actually broken and what's just cosmetic. If you need a permit (Henrico County requires one for aprons and curb cuts, and Sandston may have local rules), we'll help you navigate that. We give you a written estimate with square footage, tonnage, and thickness specs so you know exactly what you're paying for.
The work itself takes one to three days, depending on the job size. If we're milling and removing old pavement, we haul it off. If we're patching potholes or resurfacing, we prep the base, lay the new asphalt to the right thickness, and compact it properly. Drainage and crown are built in from the start so water runs off instead of pooling. We coordinate with your HOA if you're in a master-planned community, because some neighborhoods have rules about driveway materials and extensions.
When we're done, we clean up. No debris on your lawn, no tracked asphalt on the street. You get a final walkthrough, and we answer any questions about care and maintenance.
Driveway paving in Sandston typically runs from $6 per square foot for new installation, and resurfacing (overlay) starts at $4 per square foot. A pothole or small patch repair starts at $450. A full driveway replacement runs from $7 per square foot. If you're looking at a parking lot, we provide a free commercial estimate. The actual cost depends on square footage, base condition, access for equipment, and whether you need grading or drainage work to fix the ponding problem. Call us at (804) 203-1538 for a free on-site estimate with a written quote. No surprises, no upsells.
