Asphalt Driveway Paving in East Goshen, PA
A large share of East Goshen was built out between the nineteen seventies and nineties, which puts most original asphalt driveways in the township at or past the end of their service life.
What East Goshen properties need from this work
That timing is the main thing to understand about paving here. A driveway laid forty years ago on the standards of the day is not a repair candidate. It has usually thinned, oxidised and cracked across a wide area, and patching it is spending money on a surface that is finished.
The good news is that these are straightforward jobs. Lots in the township are generally flat to gently sloping with clear access, driveways are moderate length, and there is room to work. Replacement is predictable and the results are reliable.
The recurring detail worth checking is the apron where the driveway meets the garage. On developments of this age the fill placed against the foundation has usually consolidated, leaving that section low. It is worth correcting during the repave rather than paving over a dip that then collects water against the garage.

Asphalt Driveway Paving in East Goshen: common questions
My East Goshen driveway is original to the house. Repair or replace?
If the house dates from the seventies, eighties or early nineties and the driveway is original, replacement is almost always the right answer.
Asphalt at that age has lost most of its binder to ultraviolet exposure and has usually cracked in connected patterns, which means the base is taking water. Repairs on a surface in that condition do not hold.
Does my homeowners association need to approve driveway work?
In several East Goshen developments, yes, particularly in planned and age restricted communities. Rules commonly cover materials, finishes and sometimes timing of work.
It is worth checking before scheduling. Approval processes can add weeks, and finding out after the crew is booked is inconvenient for everyone.
