Murraysville's expanding subdivisions across New Hanover County sit on sandy soil that settles fast, and driveways laid without a solid base wash out when hurricane rains come and the water table rises. Wilmington Asphalt Paving has been serving Murraysville (28405) and the surrounding area since 2014, building driveways and private roads that shed water and stay put.
When your driveway cracks, settles, or your HOA road needs resurfacing, you need a crew that knows the peninsula's flat terrain, the sandy subgrade, and the permit rules that vary from one New Hanover County neighborhood to the next. We are local, fully insured, and we price honest work in writing before we start.
Asphalt Paving in Murraysville (28405)
Murraysville's newer subdivisions are built on the sandy, well-drained ground that spreads across New Hanover County, but that same sandy soil will move and settle if a driveway is poured without proper base preparation and drainage. We see driveways that heave and crack where the subgrade was never compacted, and lots where water pools at the garage because the pitch is too flat or the base is weak. The sandy fill that developers use to raise lots above the water table will compress under a new asphalt surface, especially in the first year, which is why we build base the right way and specify thickness and tonnage on every estimate.
Our team has paved residential driveways, private roads, and HOA streets across Murraysville and Wilmington since 2014. We handle full-depth replacement, resurfacing where the base is still good, pothole and edge repair, and the gravel and recycled-asphalt options that work for longer lanes and private roads. We know which lots need extra drainage, how to work in tight subdivisions, and when to recommend repair instead of replacement to save you money.

How a Job Works in Murraysville
We start with a free on-site visit. We measure your driveway or lot, look at the base, check how water drains, and talk through what will last. We give you a written estimate with square footage, thickness, tonnage, and price. If your job involves a curb cut, apron, or extension into the right-of-way, we help you understand what the local building department requires and whether your HOA has rules on material or width. No surprises, no pressure.
On the day of the work, our crew handles site prep, base repair or replacement if needed, proof rolling to make sure the subgrade is solid, and the asphalt itself. In Murraysville's tighter subdivisions, we work carefully around landscaping and parked cars, and we coordinate timing with HOA management when you have shared roads. The whole job is cleaned up when we leave, and we walk through the finished work with you.
New asphalt needs six to twelve months to fully cure before any sealing, so we recommend holding off on that step. In the meantime, keep water off the edges and avoid heavy parking until the surface hardens.
A new asphalt driveway in Murraysville typically runs from $6 per square foot and up, depending on the base condition, thickness, and how much prep work the sandy subgrade needs. Resurfacing an existing driveway where the base is still sound starts around $4 per square foot. A pothole or edge repair runs from $450 up. Recycled asphalt and tar-and-chip options for longer private roads start lower, from $3 and $5 per square foot respectively. The real cost driver is always what's underneath: a driveway on poor or wet subgrade costs more than one on solid, well-drained ground, and we write that down on your estimate so you know why.
