Asphalt Paving in Riverside, OH

Asphalt paving in Riverside starts with a map. Riverside combined with Mad River Township in 1994, and the city dates its incorporation to January 1, 1995. Because Dayton, Huber Heights and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base had already annexed other parts of the township, the merged city has six disconnected sections. In 2020, Riverside had 24,474 people and 11,427 homes on roughly 9.75 square miles.

Which section?

A Riverside address can border Dayton, Huber Heights or the base. That matters for road work: the street in front of your house may belong to Riverside or a neighbor. We confirm before any approach work.

Older homes

Much of Riverside's housing is postwar, with driveways that have been patched and topped over decades. Replacement means removing old layers and rebuilding the base.

Repair or replace

If damage is limited and the base is stable, patching, crack sealing and a sealcoat make sense. We tell you which applies.

Near the base

Military families come and go, so drives are often fixed up before a sale or rental. Sealcoating and patching improve curb appeal for a modest cost.

Winters

Freeze-thaw from November into March is the main threat. Fall crack sealing helps.

Costs

National guides put new asphalt at about $5 to $12 or more per square foot. Your signed proposal is the price.

The Riverside walk-through

We first confirm which of Riverside's sections your home is in and who maintains the street. Then we walk the drive, probe for soft base, check drainage and the apron, and price each part of the job separately.

Common problems

Postwar Riverside drives often show alligator cracking in the tire paths, sinking near downspouts and broken edges. Each has its own fix.

Widening

Many original drives were built for one car. Extensions are built to full depth with a saw-cut joint.

Mad River ground

Parts of the city were Mad River Township farmland, and some lower areas near the river can have wetter subgrade. We probe before quoting.

Sealing

Once cracks are sealed, a sealcoat every few years keeps the surface tight.

Near the base

Riverside borders Wright-Patterson, and some homes are rented to military families. Landlords can have drives patched and sealed between tenants.

Costs

National guides list pothole repairs at about $100 to $400, crack sealing at about $0.50 to $3 per linear foot and new asphalt at about $5 to $12 or more per square foot.

Timing

We pave from spring through fall and seal cracks in late summer and fall.

Repair or replace

If the base is stable and damage limited, repairs and sealing make sense.
