Asphalt Driveways

Dirt Dogs Excavating are the Colorado front range driveway installation experts! We’ve got years of experience installing driveways in Elizabeth, Parker, Castle Rock and nearby areas. When we  install or overhaul a driveway we bring our extensive experience to the table and make sure the surrounding earth and landscaping is properly worked to handle drainage and water so it runs away from your driveway. This avoids ice build up in the winter and really helps it last longer.

The Initial Process
The proper construction of an asphalt driveway begins with the preliminary earthwork; removal of the old driveway material; excavation of the ground to the necessary levels; shaping the driveway and preparing the ground for drainage around the driveway.

The Driveway Base
Building the arena base is the next step in the construction process. Crushed rock of various sizes is distributed over the site, compacted and laser leveled. The material used is determined by soil conditions and the client’s riding specifications.

Even the best designed and constructed driveways don’t last forever. Multiple factors contribute to the degrading of a driveway. If the driveway is road base or crushed gravel it can get eroded by or poorly designed drainage, breakdown or use of poor construction materials, poor design, or poor construction in the original work. Asphalt driveways typically last much longer (15-20 years) but even they will wear out over time.
