Highland sits on the higher East Side of the greater Evansville area, where dense clay ground and the region's wet springs mean driveways need real drainage and a solid base to hold up. The older ranch-style homes and newer subdivisions spreading through Vanderburgh County all share the same challenge: clay soil that swells in spring and shrinks in summer, and more than 45 inches of rain a year working on every edge and seam.
Homeowners in Highland (47710) call Evansville Asphalt Paving when their driveway shows the first signs of cracking, when a pothole appears after a hard rain, or when an old apron at the street edge starts to sink. We know this ground, we know what holds up here, and we've been doing it since 2013.
Asphalt Paving in Highland (47710)
Highland's driveways sit on clay that moves. A driveway that was fine ten years ago can start to crack and settle as the base shifts with the wet-dry cycle. The single biggest mistake we see is patching without fixing the drainage underneath, which just puts money into a driveway that will keep failing. That is why we look hard at pitch, at how water runs off, and at base compaction before we ever lay down asphalt.
The lots here are often deep and tight, with mature trees and utility lines close to the drive. Access for a paver and a roller matters, and so does knowing where the gas line and the power lines run. We have been serving Highland and the surrounding Evansville area since 2013, and we know how to work in these yards.

How a Job Works in Highland
We start with a free on-site visit. We walk your driveway, look at the cracks and settling, check how water drains, and talk through what makes sense for your lot and your budget. If your HOA has driveway rules, we factor that in from the start. We give you a written estimate with the square footage, the thickness of the asphalt, and the tonnage of material we will use.
On the day of the work, our crew handles the prep. If it is a resurfacing, we mill the old surface and haul it away. If it is a full replacement, we excavate to the right depth, compact the base, and set the grade so water runs away from your foundation and toward the street. We lay the asphalt hot, roll it, and make sure every edge is solid. Tight lots and tree-lined drives do not slow us down.
We clean up completely when we are done, and we walk through the job with you before we leave. Your driveway is ready to use right away, though new asphalt needs six to twelve months to fully cure before any sealing should be considered.
A new asphalt driveway in Highland typically runs from $6 per square foot and up, depending on the depth of the base work needed on your clay ground. Resurfacing an existing driveway costs from $4 per square foot if the base is still sound. A pothole repair or a patch starts at $450, and a full driveway replacement runs from $7 per square foot. The real cost drivers are the square footage, the condition of the base, and how much drainage work the clay ground underneath requires. We measure on site, and we quote honestly. Call us at (930) 212-2766 for a free estimate, and we will walk you through what your driveway actually needs.
