Asphalt Paving in Xenia, OH

Asphalt paving in Xenia serves a city that has rebuilt more than once. On April 3, 1974, an F5 tornado wrecked nearly half the buildings in Xenia and left 10,000 people without homes. A second tornado, an F4, struck on September 20, 2000 along a track close to the 1974 one. Much of the housing in those paths was rebuilt afterward, so neighborhoods mix older homes with post-1974 and post-2000 construction.

Mixed ages

Older homes outside the storm paths have older drives; rebuilt areas have drives from the 1970s and 2000s that are now due for maintenance or replacement. We check each one for base condition before recommending a fix.

Trail town

Xenia turned five of its six old rail corridors into trails, the Little Miami Scenic Trail among them. Homes near trailheads and former rail corridors sometimes sit on fill or unusual subgrade. We probe before quoting.

Size

Xenia's 2020 count was 25,441 people and 11,422 homes on about 13.1 square miles.

Road agencies

Approach work at the street is in the right-of-way. We confirm requirements before scheduling.

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 and pothole repairs at about $100 to $400. Your signed proposal is the price.

The Xenia walk-through

We ask when the house and driveway were built or rebuilt, since that tells us a lot in Xenia. Then we walk the drive, probe for soft base, check drainage and the apron, and price each part of the work on its own line.

Older center

Homes in older parts of Xenia that the storms missed have narrower drives and older bases. Replacement there means digging to firm ground.

County seat lots

Xenia is the seat of Greene County, with offices, churches and businesses whose lots need patching, sealing and restriping. We phase work to keep them open.

Widening

One-car drives can be widened to full depth with a saw-cut joint.

Sealing

After crack sealing, a sealcoat every few years helps any drive last.

Trails and lots

Trailhead parking areas and businesses near the trails see weekend peaks. Lot work is scheduled for weekdays when possible.

Costs

National guides put sealcoating at about $1 to $2 per square foot and hot patches at about $2 to $5 per square foot.

Timing

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

Repair or replace

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