A driveway is only as strong as the ground and the stone base under it. An asphalt industry best-practice sheet calls for firm ground, cleared of roots and plant matter, with weak spots replaced. On that goes a base course of crushed stone, usually 6 to 8 inches, spread even and rolled tight.
Clarksville sits on the Highland Rim, where most high ground is gravelly silt loam over clay. Federal soil surveys name Sengtown as the main local soil. It formed from weathered limestone, and water moves through it slowly. Water that gets under a driveway here tends to sit on that clay.
Clarksville also averages more than 50 inches of rain a year and about 78 nights at or below freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles open cracks and work water down into the base. That is why the stone base and the pitch of the surface carry so much weight here.
For an ordinary home driveway, the same best-practice sheet calls for two layers of hot mix. A 2-inch bottom course goes down first, with a 1.5-inch surface course on top. Ask for those numbers as compacted thickness, measured after rolling.
An asphalt trade magazine puts a cars-only driveway at 2 inches and recommends 3 inches for any truck traffic. Industry guidance also tells homeowners to get material types and thicknesses spelled out in writing.
Pitch matters too. The same magazine calls slope a key factor in moving rain off the drive and away from the house. A paving contractor quoted there checks long driveways for a slope of 2 percent or more. That works out to about a quarter inch of fall per foot.
A new driveway goes where there is no asphalt yet, at a new house or on an old gravel drive. A full replacement starts over where the old asphalt has failed. The old surface comes out, and new hot mix goes down on a sound base.
Failed asphalt shows itself in a few ways. Alligator cracking is a web of connected cracks, and it points to weak support underneath. Potholes are usually the end stage of that cracking, and dips come from ground that has settled.
When the base is still sound and the wear is on top, asphalt resurfacing may fit better. A few potholes in a solid driveway are a job for asphalt repair. An overlay on a failed base tends to crack the same way again, so the base decides. We look at the job first, and the written quote names the fix it needs.

The quote comes to you in writing with the work spelled out. Once you say yes, the job goes on the schedule. Weather can move the date, and we tell you when it does.
Failed asphalt is milled out, or the old surface comes up, where the job calls for it. Then the hot mix goes down with our pavers and is rolled while it is hot.
Parking lots get their striping once the asphalt has cured. We tell you how long to keep cars off the new surface. We also tell you when it will be ready for its first sealcoat.
