Asphalt Paving Services We Provide in Tara, Baton Rouge
Home Driveway Paving Near Tara Boulevard
Wide lots, deep shade, long drives poured back in the 1970s. That's most of Tara. Failed asphalt comes out, base gets rebuilt, and plenty of folks add width for a second vehicle or ask for a turnaround. More on our driveway paving services.
Sealcoating and Crack Filling Near Goodwood Boulevard
Shaded pavement dries slow, so we watch the calendar and the forecast around here. Cracks get filled first. Then sealcoating and chip sealing goes down to shut water out, and repeating that every three to five years genuinely stretches the life of a drive.
Concrete Aprons, Curbs and Drainage Work
Down by BREC Tara park, that spot where your driveway ties into the street takes a beating, and concrete outlasts asphalt there almost every time. Aprons, curbs, valley gutters, area drains. Point the water at the street, not your garage door. Get a free written estimate for asphalt paving in Tara today. Call (225) 464-5378.
Repair or Replace? A Simple Guide for Tara Driveways
Nine out of ten visits, somebody asks. So here's how we read it standing on the pavement.
| What You See | Usually Repair | Usually Replace |
|---|---|---|
| Hairline cracks under a quarter inch | Yes, crack fill and seal | No |
| Alligator cracking in one spot | Yes, cut and patch | No |
| Root humps across the whole drive | No | Yes, root cut and rebuild |
| Water standing 24 hours after rain | Rarely | Yes, base and grade issue |
| Asphalt over 25 years old, crumbling edges | No | Yes |
Patching a driveway whose base already gave up is just burning cash. You'll hear it straight from us either way.
Local Experience and Crew Standards in Tara
Broadmoor, Westminster, Goodwood. Three problems, over and over. Root lifted driveways, aprons sinking at the street, and a puddle that never leaves the edge of a carport slab.
Grade, compaction, hot mix temperature: that's what the guys get drilled on. Cones go out, staging stays tidy, and the whole area gets swept before anybody loads up. Proof of insurance rides in the truck.
"They cut the oak roots the right way and my drive is finally flat.", Denise, Tara
"Crew showed up early and hauled off every scrap.", Marcus, near Goodwood

Helpful Local Tips for Tara Driveway and Paving Projects
Step 1. Deal with roots before paving. Laying new mix over live oak roots near Tara Boulevard buys you a couple years, tops. Cut them, treat the edge, rebuild.
Step 2. Respect the shade. Those dark, damp drives off Westminster grow moss and hold moisture. Seal during a warm dry run, never the morning after a storm.
Step 3. Aim for spring or fall. You can pave in August, sure, but humidity and 4 p.m. thunderstorms drag out curing. March through May, plus October, work best.
Step 4. Look at the slope by the curb. Loads of 1970s Tara aprons have dropped. Water sits, then chews the edge apart. Concrete apron, problem gone.
Step 5. Bring up permits early. A new curb cut or anything in the public right of way might need sign off. City parish rules sit at brla.gov, and we'll handle the paperwork with you.
