How a driveway gets built
Every step explained before work starts. Technical steps below follow published asphalt industry guidance.

We walk your property with you and explain every step before work starts. Estimates are free.

The Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association says weak spots should be undercut and replaced, and a 6 to 8 inch crushed aggregate base is usually adequate.

The same brief says hot-mix asphalt should be delivered at the proper temperature and machine placed.

It says new asphalt can be driven on soon after placement, but it is best to wait a few days.

Did great work
The foreman and the crew were awesome. Shawn the salesman met all of my needs and bet out the competitors hands down he’s a man of his word he’s honorable and trustworthy. The boss, the big guy is kind trustworthy and guarantee his work. Charlie, the seal sprayer, he did an amazing job selling my driveway. Hands down fantastic job.
This is a first class group! We had damage on our driveway. We called two other paving companies, who didn't return our messages. As soon as we called South State, George answered and responded immediately. Shawn came out, evaluated the damage and set us up for repair. The South State Paving crew was wonderful. Charlie even sealed the asphalt the same day. These guys really know what they're doing! No high pressure sales pitch, VERY reasonable price. We highly recommend them.
Answered the phone immediately. Had our driveway finished within a few days of making the initial call. Great service, experienced & fast workers, good & fair pricing, beautiful driveway done correctly! The workers actually thanked us for giving them work. Owners are great to work with. We’re recommending them to our friends and neighbors! Thank you! We love our new driveway!
South State did a great job on my driveway. It rained the first day after the new asphalt was put down. I noticed puddles forming. I sent pictures to the rep and the crew came back the next day and corrected the problem. The sealant was the icing on the cake as my drivway is immaculate now! No more getting out of the car and stepping in a puddle of water. Thanks to Shawn & George for an excellent job!!
Charlie with South State Paving did an excellent job in sealing my driveway. Looks professionally done. He explained the procedure before starting, putting my wife concerns to rest. GREAT JOB CHARLIE!!!
We wanted an extension to our two car driveway, but we’re not sure of the size. Charlie was very patient in measuring, remeasuring, and remeasuring again until we decided on the size. We received what I thought was a very good price and work started almost immediately. Charlie stayed in touch with us throughout the process and checked in on us, even after the project was finished, the work crews worked very hard and were professional throughout. I’m confident that should there be any issues arise, which I don’t expect, that I could call Charlie at any point and he would take care of the situation. It’s nice to have confidence in the company and their representatives once the job is finished.
Great price, great communication, excellent quality, fast service
Did a great job on my drive way definitely would recommend!
South State paved a commercial lot for my company and it was done perfectly, not a single problem or delay, project was even done before proposed finish date. 10/10 service, George was awesome to work with!
George and his crew did excellent work. Highly recommend
Our driveway was in dire need of attention, but South State Paving, LLC worked wonders! They completely resurfaced it, delivering an incredible transformation in just one day. Their team was exceptionally professional and efficient. We're absolutely thrilled with the result and wholeheartedly recommend South State Paving, LLC for any driveway projects.
These guys do good work. Heat? No worries? Weird drive? We'll fix it. They more than did the job well, but they solved a drainage issue and made the whole house look better overall. (I hate weeding gravel. Problem solved!) Thank you gentlemen all!
Shawn had approached us about an estimate for our driveway when he was in the neighborhood. After seeing how many they had done and the great estimate we were provided we decided to do it. Amazing service. Very quick and everyone was very friendly and professional. My driveway looks amazing and I couldn’t be happier! Thanks again!
I couldn’t be happier with the work South State Paving did on my driveway. From start to finish, they were everything you want in a company…fast, reliable, and professional. They showed up when they said they would, got the job done quickly, and left my driveway looking brand new. It’s such a relief to find a company that actually does what they promise and goes above and beyond. The quality of their work is outstanding, and I’ve already had neighbors stop and compliment how great it looks. If you’re looking for a paving company you can truly count on, South State Paving is the one to call
George and his crew paved my driveway with exceptional a plus service from start to finish if anyone needs a driveway asphalted I would highly recommend south state paving for an a plus and affordable job thanks fellas!
I had my driveway sealed 7/15/26. The crew that did the work were very friendly & professional. The quality of the work they did was excellent. I would highly recommend this company & I intend to tell my neighbors & friends.
South State resurfaced our driveway. Great work, great pricing, good communication. We highly recommend them!
George and his crew did an excellent job cleaning and sealing my driveway. They were professional, prompt, and courteous throughout the entire process. I am very pleased with the results and would highly recommend them.
George set up an estimate appointment right away. When he came to my house, he gave different options that could be done and he did not try to oversell. He is very knowledgeable and honest and the work was excellent. I would highly recommend them.
Excellent experience with South State Paving! The crew arrived on time, worked hard, and delivered really high-quality work. The communication was great throughout the entire process. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for professional paving.
George and his team did an amazing job on our driveway! I would highly recommend them for all your paving and sealing needs!
Job was done quickly and with quality
South State Paving did a great job repaving my driveway. Shawn was a no pressure salesman. He addressed all my concerns and explained the process of how the paving project was going to be completed. George and his crew arrived and were ready to complete the project. George stayed till it was completed and ensured I was happy with the end result. The pricing was great and timing to complete the project was perfect.
The South State team was very conscientious about their work, including seamless asphalt application and precise edging It’s very obvious that George Cooper has 4 generations behind him as he sizes up the job, indicates where special solutions are needed, and then executes the job to the highest standard. i think his price was fair and mutually agreed upon nice job George!
South State did an excellent job on my driveway they widened it making it much more useable. I was getting siding bids and when my contractor saw them working he took their card to refer them to his clients. This kind of work should be celebrated.
George approached my project with a very fair, honest and consultative approach that addressed considerations that the other 2 companies I received quotes from had not raised. Also, pool/landscaping company I used mislead me on installing a box drain and it wasn’t ready the day George’s crew was scheduled to do the paving. George gave me his word that after the drain was installed he’d send a crew back and fill in what was needed. He kept in touch and he delivered as he said he would. The driveway looks great! I strongly recommend South State Paving. Give them a call and George and his crew will take good care of you!
Awesome job done today by South State Paving!! The owner was available at all times and is very customer friendly. Will do business with them again and tell anyone I know who to go to!! Thanks again South State Paving for a job well done!!
Great work from the South State Paving crew!
I wish I could do more than 5 stars because that’s what south state paving deserves! George was extremely easy to work with, knowledgeable and flexible to accommodate my schedule and really worked with me on pricing. Henry and his crew were professional, fast, and proficient with their work and accomplished exactly what we were looking for. South state was able to complete my driveway project start to finish in 5 hours vice 2 days. I will recommend them to everybody I know.
South State Paving did a beautiful job paving my driveway. Clean up, excellent. The workers were professional and accommodating when I had questions. The price was extremely reasonable. They also paved my son’s new driveway which turned out great. I would definitely recommend using this company.
George I am writing to thank you and the team at South State Paving for the incredible job you did on my grandparents' driveway. When I visited them last month and saw the condition of their driveway, I reached out to several companies for estimates. South State Paving was by far the most professional. While you weren't the cheapest option, you checked all the right boxes and gave me the best impression. I especially appreciate how you handled everything after my vacation ended and I had to head back home. You followed through on your promise to take care of my grandparents and ensured they were happy with the results. The constant communication and the pictures you texted throughout the project made me feel confident that the job was in good hands. It is rare to find a company that truly cares about its customers and doesn't just treat them like a number. I will certainly be recommending your services to anyone in need of paving.
They were here the very same day we got the estimate! The crew was courteous, hard-working, and very neat. We had special instructions and they complied with everything and it was done in half a day. We are very pleased with the work and the customer service I highly recommend the company.
I cannot be more pleased with the services that South State Paving provided! If you’re looking for a company to install, repair or replace your driveway, you can’t go wrong with them! I used them multiple times and I would not hesitate to use them again! Their price is fair but their quality is unmatched! I appreciate the fact that the job was completed as scheduled and without any hidden surprises! They definitely stand by their work! I was totally surprised to come home to a supervisor doing a quality inspection three days after they had completed the job! I definitely recommend them to anyone who’s looking for a company that provides small company attention but mega business results!!! Michael Halls of Brandywine, MD
South State Paving was recommended to me by a contractor that I know and trust. Last week they built a new driveway for me and resurfaced an older one, both turned out great. The owner and crew were professional, straightforward, and easy to deal with. Pricing was good and the work was excellent. Crew showed up on time, and there were no problems whatsoever. Highly recommend.
George and his team gave us the driveway we wanted. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PRICING. Thank you!!
South state paving did amazing work. The owner was great to work with and very knowledgeable. They worked with our budget and accomplished exactly what we needed done. I would highly recommend this local company.
Had some work done by South State Paving and they absolutely crushed it. Super fast, professional, and just great guys to work with. They really worked with me to make sure all my needs were met and that everything came out exactly how I wanted. On top of that, they gave me a really fair deal.
South State Paving is a great company that I will refer to any and everyone looking to get some blacktop done. I had my drive way repaved and I have not one complaint. They were professional, punctual and experienced. Did an amazing job. 10/10.
Amazing work! Friendly workers as well! Recommending this company to EVERYONE!
I have had the pleasure of speaking and working with George the Manager/ Owner of the company. This company has been easy to work with, very responsive, respectful and the worth ethic is phenomenal! I highly recommend him and his team you will not be sorry.
We had a great experience with South State Paving and I wanted to share it. George and his crew did our driveway, handled the grading, cleaned up around our trees, and added mulch around some very large tree bases. From start to finish they were efficient, friendly, and clearly knew what they were doing. They showed up with professional equipment and everything came out looking great. Our driveway was a mess after the last winter storm. On top of the quality work, the price was honestly amazing for everything they did. It’s not easy to find a company that does solid work, treats you well, and charges fairly. We’re really happy with the results!
