Residential Paving Options
We offer several options for your residential driveway surface, depending on your needs, cosmetic desires, and budget. We can also accommodate special projects. You can rest easy knowing we use only top-quality products and services.
Stone or Gravel Driveways in Annapolis
A stone and gravel driveway is more cost-effective. This is a major benefit if you need a large or long driveway. If drainage is an issue, it can be the perfect solution for your driveway or parking area. Gravel driveways are also environmentally friendly, allowing rain and snow to be absorbed naturally into the ground.
Aesthetically pleasing, a new gravel driveway will boost your home’s presence and value. If properly maintained, it can last a lifetime and accommodate all types of vehicles. See stone and gravel to learn more about our stone and gravel driveway services.
Asphalt Driveways in Anne Arundel County
An asphalt driveway can be an investment in your home, providing a smooth surface and curb appeal. This is one of the more traditional options for residential driveway paving. Asphalt driveways should be periodically sealed and repaired when cracks appear. A properly maintained asphalt driveway can last for decades. We recommend seal coating for all asphalt driveways to increase the pavement’s lifespan.
To learn more about using asphalt to pave driveways, parking lots, and roads, see asphalt paving.
Driveway Pavers Installation
A driveway constructed of pavers offers maximum curb appeal to any home. It truly is one of the best home investments you can make. They are relatively low maintenance compared to asphalt and gravel. We guarantee your paver driveway will not crack or settle when installed by Cooper Paving. The greatest benefit to choosing a paver driveway is the unlimited options.
No matter what look or color you are looking for, there is a paver for it. You can combine colors and textures and lay them in many different patterns. No other driveway option can be customized to match your home. In addition to using pavers for your driveway, we can also construct your walkway, porch, or patio to match.
Tar & Chip Driveway Installation
Professional tar and chip driveway installation is a great way to improve the look of your home or business. This type of installation process involves applying a hot asphalt mix to the existing surface and then covering it with stone chips. The result is an attractive, durable driveway that lasts many years.
Our team can quickly and effectively install a tar and chip driveway, making it an ideal choice for those who want to improve their property’s appearance without spending too much time or money. To learn more about tar and chip installation, see Tar & Chip.
Professional Driveway Grading Services
Professional driveway grading services can be a great way to keep your driveway in top condition. Grading and leveling your driveway ensures that it is even and free of bumps or dips, which can damage vehicles and make it difficult for people to walk on. It also helps prevent water from pooling on the surface, reducing the risk of flooding and fast erosion.
Our team uses specialized equipment to ensure that we properly grade your driveway and eliminate any potential hazards. Our driveway grading services can help extend your driveway’s life while improving its overall look and feel. To learn more about our grading services, see Grading.
Seal Coating & Repair
Seal coating is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your driveway or parking lot. It uses a mixture of asphalt binder, stone chips, and recycled asphalt shingles. We usually apply seal coatings in a single coat over otherwise normal asphalt. After application, there will be a “wet feel” that may last up to 24 hours.
In case you’re wondering if seal coating your driveway is worth it… we’ve done numerous estimates for large commercial properties and found that seal coating saves thousands of dollars in otherwise avoidable damage. To learn more about our seal coating process, see seal coating and repair.
Residential Paving FAQs

Whether you need a new driveway or a patio, our residential paving services can help you do the job quickly and efficiently. To help you understand more about this service, here are some of the most commonly asked questions that we get about residential paving services.
Can Cooper Paving extend my driveway?
A residential driveway extension is ideal when you have several vehicles and not enough space to store them all. Cooper Paving can create a driveway extension using a range of materials. Some of the most popular choices include decorative stone, crushed gravel, and asphalt. We provide you with details about all of your choices.
How long will a new asphalt driveway last?
A properly installed asphalt driveway can last 30+ years. With excellent care and upkeep, an asphalt driveway can last almost half a century (50 years). The better you maintain your asphalt driveway, the longer its lifespan will be.
How long does it take asphalt to dry?
Asphalt drying time can depend on factors such as local weather conditions, time of year, upkeep, asphalt thickness and quality, and more. As paving experts, we suggest letting your new driveway rest 72 hours before you let anything or anyone on the driveway.
What are the different types of residential driveways?
When you own a home, it is important to have a driveway that is beautiful, functional, and in good condition. You have several options for installing a new driveway or replacing one. There are several types of residential driveways, including stone or gravel, asphalt, pavers, and tar and chip. Each type has its own pros and cons, so it is important to learn about each one and choose the one that works best for you.
Can you expand my driveway?
Yes, in most cases, we can expand your driveway. We would first need to check your property to ensure it is possible. There are various reasons why it may not be, including zoning regulations and whether or not we can grade it properly and blend in with your existing driveway. You can contact us, and we will look at your driveway properly to make sure the job can be done properly before getting started.
How do I choose the right material for my driveway?
We understand this choice can be overwhelming. You have to take into consideration Maryland’s harsh, sometimes unpredictable winters as well as sticking to a budget. The professional Cooper Paving contractors are here to help you determine which option is best for you based on your preferences and circumstances.
