They said it was just a driveway…

But for this Reno family, it meant curb appeal, a bump in property value, and a safer space for their kids to play ball and ride bikes.

It’s amazing what fresh asphalt can do.

You already know your lot needs work.

Bordertown Casino knew too. After years of patching, their lot had cracks, potholes, and drainage issues — it wasn’t just worn, it was a liability.

We stepped in, tore it out, laid brand-new asphalt, and got their business looking sharp and professional again, without headaches or delays.

If you know it’s time to resurface, replace, or repair your parking lot, drop a 🛠️ in the comments or send us a message.

We’ll take a look, give you a clear plan, and help you get it done right — no pressure.

Asphalt vs. Concrete: Which Is Right for Your Reno Paving Project? 🛣️⁣
⁣
Trying to decide between asphalt and concrete for your new driveway or parking lot? Here’s a quick breakdown to help you make the right call:⁣
⁣
✅ Asphalt is Ideal for Cold Climates⁣
It handles Reno’s winter freeze/thaw cycles better, melts snow faster, and resists damage from road salt.⁣
⁣
✅ Concrete is Better for Extreme Heat⁣
But asphalt is more affordable and easier to repair if it gets soft during hot summers.⁣
⁣
✅ Asphalt = Quick Install, Easy Maintenance⁣
You can drive on it within a couple of days. Cracks? Potholes? They’re easy (and cheap) to fix.⁣
⁣
✅ Concrete = Longer Lifespan, Less Maintenance⁣
But repairs are tougher and usually more expensive when needed.⁣
⁣
✅ Asphalt Hides Stains Better⁣
Oil drips and rust marks are less visible on dark asphalt, while concrete shows every spill.⁣
⁣
Bottom line: Asphalt is the top choice for most Reno homeowners and business owners looking for cost-effective, reliable, and weather-resistant pavement.⁣

How to Install Asphalt the Right Way (And Why It Matters in Reno) 🛠️🛣️⁣
⁣
Installing asphalt isn’t just about dumping some blacktop and calling it a day. Done right, it lasts for decades. Done wrong? You’re back to repairs in no time.⁣
⁣
Here’s how the pros at Great West Asphalt Paving in Reno do it:⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Demolish & Clear – Old concrete or asphalt? Gone. We start fresh.⁣
2️⃣ Grade for Drainage – Proper slope = less water damage later.⁣
3️⃣ Compact the Sub-Base – A strong foundation keeps your surface from cracking.⁣
4️⃣ Proof Roll – If the base moves under pressure, we fix it—no shortcuts.⁣
5️⃣ Binder Layer – Adds strength and durability under the surface.⁣
6️⃣ Apply Surface Asphalt – Smooth, dark, beautiful pavement.⁣
7️⃣ Create Smooth Transitions – Where new meets old, it should be seamless.⁣
⁣
🔧 Bonus Step: Sealcoating (But Not Right Away!)⁣
Wait at least 3 months before sealcoating to allow proper curing—then seal to protect your investment.⁣
⁣
Thinking about DIY? Asphalt installation is serious work—grading, compacting, drainage, layering… it all matters. One mistake can shorten your driveway’s life by years.⁣
