Driveway Resurfacing

Driveways in Boston don’t age gracefully. From the brutal winters to spring frost heaves and constant city traffic, it doesn’t take long for asphalt to show cracks, potholes, and wear. That’s where driveway resurfacing comes in. It’s a smart, affordable way to give your driveway a second life—without paying for a full tear-out and driveway installation.

At Driveway Contractors Boston, we specialize in affordable driveway resurfacing for both residential driveways and commercial driveways. Whether you’re in Dorchester, Brighton, or Roxbury, we’ve likely worked on a street near you. Our resurfacing jobs hold up because we do it right—starting with proper grading, crack filling, and patching before applying a fresh top layer.

Driveway resurfacing means applying a new layer of asphalt or concrete over your existing driveway base. It’s perfect for driveways that are structurally sound but have surface damage like cracks, shallow potholes, or fading. It’s more cost-effective than full replacement and helps extend your driveway’s life by another 8–15 years with proper sealcoating and care.

We also offer surface resurfacing for stamped concrete driveways, gravel driveways, and decorative driveways. Whether you want to keep your current look or upgrade the style, we’ll walk you through your options—including custom concrete, eco friendly driveway materials, and even heated driveway systems for those icy Boston mornings.

Boston’s freeze-thaw cycles are rough on pavement. Asphalt expands and contracts constantly, creating weak spots. Add in plow damage, road salt, and traffic—and you’ve got a surface that breaks down fast. According to the Massachusetts Office of Transportation, Boston averages 43 freeze-thaw cycles per year, one of the highest in the Northeast.

Another stat: A recent study by Boston Public Works showed that over 55% of residential driveways in older neighborhoods like Jamaica Plain and Southie are overdue for either resurfacing or expert driveway repair.

Before we resurface anything, we check for structural issues. If your driveway has drainage problems, severe sinking, or edge failure, we may recommend driveway drainage installation, driveway widening services, or targeted pothole repair first. 

We also offer:

• Crack filling with high-quality materials
   
• Asphalt planing or cold planing to smooth rough patches
   
• Sealcoating for added UV and moisture protection
   
• Options for stamped concrete driveway installation
   
• Gravel top-ups for gravel driveway services
   
• Heavy duty asphalt for high-traffic or commercial driveway construction
   

In some cases, especially for commercial driveway services, we recommend cold plane asphalt or planing bituminous pavement to ensure the surface bonds properly before resurfacing.
