Why Sherwood Forest Owners Keep Calling Our Asphalt Crew
First a water oak root shoves up one corner of the drive. The slab splits. By July, rain is puddling right where you park by the garage door, every single afternoon. Sound familiar? Then you already know how this goes.
Most of Sherwood Forest was built out in the 1960s and 70s. Drive down Sherwood Forest Boulevard and count the driveways that are two decades past done, or look at the retail lots strung along the Florida Boulevard corridor. Sixty plus inches of rain a year, expansive clay underneath it all, and pavement quits from the bottom up rather than the top down. The asphalt paving Sherwood Forest Baton Rouge folks actually call about ranges from tearing out a whole driveway to milling and overlaying a busy business lot without shutting it down.
Private jobs still get built to Louisiana DOTD grade standards around here, and both our asphalt and concrete divisions are in house. Licensed and insured in Louisiana. Browse the whole list of Baton Rouge asphalt services, or just call (225) 464-5378 and we'll get you a free written estimate.
Home base for us is the Airline Hwy corridor, which makes Sherwood Forest a short hop for estimators and patch crews alike. Handy when a pothole opens up in a shopping center lot late on a Friday.
- Asphalt and concrete, same contractor. Driveway, apron, curb, sidewalk tie in. One outfit handles it instead of three showing up on different weeks.
- Water gets figured out first. Grading happens before a single ton of mix goes down. Clay never forgives standing water.
- Real business work behind us. FedEx, Academy Sports, Regions Bank, Advance Auto Parts, the Louisiana National Guard.
- Nights and weekends when needed. Retail centers off Florida Blvd keep the doors open while we work section by section.
- Written estimates, free. Scope, thickness, price, all on paper before anybody signs anything.

Asphalt Paving Services We Do in Sherwood Forest
Home Driveway Paving Near Sherwood Forest Boulevard
Quarter acre lots. Big oaks crowding the drive. That's the norm in this neighborhood. So we saw out whatever section failed, trim shallow roots the right way, rebuild base underneath, then lay fresh mix on top. There's more detail on how we approach residential driveway paving.
Parking Lot Paving and Overlay Along Florida Boulevard
Those older strip centers sitting between Sherwood Forest Blvd and Millerville Road rarely need full removal. Mill two inches, dig out the soft spots, overlay, then restripe with ADA compliant stalls and access aisles. Cheaper, and it lasts.
Sealcoating and Crack Repair
Gulf sun cooks the binder right out of asphalt. Get sealcoating and chip sealing done on schedule and you buy years of extra life for pennies compared to replacement.
Concrete, Grading and Drainage
Curbs, aprons, slabs, dumpster pads, valley gutters. Swales too, when they need regrading so water actually leaves instead of parking on your lot. Get your free written estimate today. Ring (225) 464-5378 and somebody will come measure that Sherwood Forest driveway or lot.
Repair or Replace: What Pavement Around Here Usually Needs
| What You See | Likely Fix |
|---|---|
| Hairline cracks, faded gray color | Crack fill and sealcoat |
| Alligator cracking in one area | Cut out patch and base repair |
| Surface worn but base is solid | Mill two inches and overlay |
| Root heave plus pooling water | Remove, regrade, rebuild base, repave |
| Ruts and soft spots after rain | Full depth replacement with drainage work |
Which column you land in, you'll hear straight. Dumping fresh asphalt over a wet, dying base burns your money, and nobody here is going to pretend otherwise.
Local Experience and Standards Behind Every Sherwood Forest Job
Root heaved driveways near Sherwood Forest Community Park, delivery lanes patched behind the retail on Florida Blvd, aprons replaced where garbage trucks chewed up the pavement edge. Same handful of problems, over and over, in this part of town.
Compaction checks and thickness checks don't change from job to job, and they're the same ones used on public road work. Flaggers, cones and barricades go out any time work touches a travel lane. Permits get pulled when the scope calls for one. City rules and permit info are posted by the City of Baton Rouge if you want to read through it yourself.

Local Tips for Paving in Sherwood Forest
Step 1. Work around the oaks. Cut a big structural root and you may lose a tree that took 60 years to grow. Shifting grade or thickening the section is usually smarter.
Step 2. Mind your slope. Plenty of 1970s driveways here run dead flat toward the house. Quarter inch of fall per foot keeps water off your slab.
Step 3. Pave during dry spells. Late spring, early fall. Mix does not belong on saturated clay.
Step 4. Business lots should phase. Lots along Florida Blvd get split into sections so customer parking never fully closes.
Step 5. Ask about HOA and city rules first. A few Sherwood Forest subdivisions spell out driveway width and material. Widening an apron at the street can trigger a permit.
