Driveway replacement
When cracks, sinking, and potholes keep coming back, patching is just buying time. Diamond Asphalt tears out the failed driveway, fixes the base underneath, and repaves it right for homeowners across Tarrant County.
SIGNS IT IS TIME
When patching stops making sense.
Cracks Everywhere
Alligator cracking across large areas means the base has failed, not just the surface.
Sinking and Low Spots
Dips that hold water point to soft soil or a washed-out base underneath.
Potholes That Come Back
If the same holes return after every patch, the problem is below the asphalt.
Crumbling Edges
Edges breaking off and spreading into the yard mean the driveway has lost its support.
Standing Water
Poor drainage keeps soaking the base and speeds up every other kind of damage.
20 Plus Years Old
Most asphalt driveways reach the end of their life around 20 years, even with good care.
WHY DIAMOND ASPHALT
We fix what made the old driveway fail.
Laying new asphalt over a broken driveway looks good for a season. Then the same cracks show back up. We tear it out, find out why it failed, and fix that before we pave. Our name is on the truck, so we do it the way we would at our own house.
Full tear-out, not a cover-up
We remove the old asphalt, concrete, or gravel down to the soil, so nothing failing is left underneath.
Base rebuilt for clay soil
Fort Worth clay swells and shrinks. We dig out soft spots and build a compacted stone base that holds.
Honest quotes, no add-ons
The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. No surprise line items after the machine is running.
Clean haul-off
We haul away the old driveway and the debris. You are left with a new driveway, not a pile in the yard.

DRIVEWAY REPLACEMENT COST
What affects the cost of replacing a driveway.
Every replacement is different, so we price each one after we see it in person. Here is what moves the number up or down, so the quote makes sense when you get it.
Size of the driveway
Square footage drives most of the cost. Long runs, curves, and turnaround pads add material and time.
What is coming out
Breaking out old concrete takes more work and hauling than old asphalt or gravel. Thickness matters too.
Base and soil repair
Soft spots and a washed-out base need more digging and more stone. We find that at the estimate, not halfway through the job.
Drainage and access
Fixing water problems, steep slopes, or tight access can change the plan and the equipment we bring.

FAQ
Driveway replacement questions, answered.
Straight answers to what Fort Worth homeowners ask us before they replace a driveway. Do not see yours? Ask when you call.
Should I repair or replace my driveway?
If the damage is limited to a few cracks or potholes and the base is still solid, a repair can buy you years. If cracking is widespread, the driveway is sinking, or patches keep failing, replacement is the better use of your money. We tell you which one you need at the estimate.
How much does driveway replacement cost in Fort Worth?
It depends on the size of the driveway, what has to come out, and how much base repair the ground needs. We give you a free written estimate after we see it in person, and the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
Can you replace a concrete driveway with asphalt?
Yes. We break out and haul off the concrete, rebuild the base, and pave with hot-mix asphalt. Many Fort Worth homeowners make the switch because asphalt costs less and handles shifting clay soil better.
How long does driveway replacement take?
Most residential replacements are torn out, rebuilt, and paved in two to three days. Heavy concrete removal or major base repair can add time. We confirm the schedule with you before we start.
What happens to my old driveway?
We haul it away for you. Old asphalt and concrete can usually be recycled instead of going to a landfill, and you are not left with a debris pile in the yard.
How long will my new driveway last?
A driveway built on a properly compacted base, with good drainage and regular sealcoating, typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more in North Texas.
What is the difference between replacement and new driveway paving?
Replacement starts with tearing out an existing driveway that has failed. If you are building on bare ground or adding a driveway where there is none, see our asphalt driveway paving page.
