Good driveway drainage prevents erosion, pooling, and frost damage, ensuring your asphalt remains stable for years.
Drainage Problems
- Standing water seeps into cracks and weakens the subbase.
- Improper grading leads to puddles and uneven wear.
- Blocked gutters or poor slope direct water onto the pavement.
Smart Drainage Fixes
- Grade the driveway with a 1–2% slope for proper runoff.
- Install trench or channel drains at low points.
- Use French drains or gravel edging to redirect water away.
Proper drainage design preserves structural strength and extends the life of your asphalt surface.
