Expert Site Preparation in Allison Park, PA

Site preparation is the first step toward a paved surface that holds up in Allison Park. Before any asphalt goes down, the ground beneath it must be stable, graded, and ready to carry load. At Johnny's Asphalt, we clear the area, remove old material, grade the surface for proper drainage, and compact the base. Skipping or rushing any of these steps leads to cracking, sinking, and water damage down the road. Allison Park sits in Allegheny County, where freeze-thaw cycles hit hard each winter. Poorly prepared ground shifts under those conditions and breaks paved surfaces from below. Residential driveways and small commercial lots in the area often sit on sloped terrain, which makes grading and drainage planning especially important. We assess each site before work begins and build a base suited to what the ground and the job actually need. Call Johnny's Asphalt to schedule a site visit.

What Our Customers Say

"Five stars isn't a high enough rating for this company! After getting 10 bids to have my commercial parking lot completely dug out and replaced, I decided to go with Johnny's Asphalt from Whitny PA. I researched and Googled every asphalt company with in a 50 mile radius of my property. I read many horror stories on how a lot of these companies didn't show up, didn't finish the job, had equipment that malfunctioned, or had crews that were down right disrespectful. Now I'm meticulous, but this guy has got me beat! His attention to detail is amazing! I teased him saying I could set my watch to him as he arrived at my property at the exact time he said he would be there. Johnny was on site from the first shovel of asphalt being removed to the last parking space line painted. He and his crew worked morning to night without missing a beat. The guys on his crew were so polite..."yes ma'am" "no ma'am" and everyone conducted themselves in a professional manner. My lot is on a very busy corner and the crew was able to maneuver the trucks and equipment in and out without disrupting the flow of traffic. All of Johnnys equipment is top notch, well maintained and worked flawlessly on my job. I am so pleased with the job Johnny did, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND JOHNNY'S ASPHALT for your job!"

"I found Johnny’s Asphalt from Facebook because I guess big brother heard me complaining about a contractor who ghosted me. So anyways, he quoted and then came back with a suggestion on putting a top coat on instead of demoing. This was not only a competitive price but he and his team crushed the job. I’ve been waiting and hoping to have my driveway updated to improve my curb appeal. Suffice to say, he and his team did. Thank you to saving my butt before the winter months hit and adding a beautiful driveway to my home."

Jordan Premick

"BLUF: If you need asphalt patches, repairs, or new work, use Johnny, you will not be disappointed!! Johnny and his team of professionals performed excellently as they not only capped my existing driveway but also added an addition 250 sq ft. They ensured the area was well prepped and maneuvered around our garden beds and sewage connection to ensure nothing was disturbed! His team ensured flush mating surfaces from the garage floor to the driveway, to the sidewalk, and street. I am well pleased with their expediency, professionalism, and presence. All of his equipment is in excellent shape, his trucks are clean and show how much care he puts into his business."

"Johnnys Asphalt and his crew did a excellent job came out the same day and did the job and a reasonable price will recommend him."

george sahady

"I contacted Johnny’s asphalt to have a steep driveway paved and they came the same morning and provided me an estimate. The price was competitive with other quotes I had received and I saw another job they had just completed up the street so I knew they do good quality work. I agreed to the proposal and asked when they could get started and he told me they could start right now! They were literally there within the hour with all their equipment and started grading. Johnny and his guys worked all day and had the job completed by dark. I would recommend Johnny’s asphalt to anyone looking to have their driveway paved or sealed."
