When you live in the Memphis area, your pavement has to stand up to a lot. Hot, humid summers, heavy rainfall, and the occasional winter freeze can wear down asphalt quickly if it is not installed the right way. At Riley Asphalt and Sealcoating, we specialize in asphalt paving that is built for Memphis conditions. Our family-owned asphalt paving company has more than seventy years of hands-on experience, and we take pride in providing reliable paving services for homes, businesses, and industrial properties across the Mid South. Whether you need a brand-new asphalt driveway, a resurfaced parking lot, or durable pavement solutions for a commercial property, our team is here to help.

Asphalt Driveways Built to Last
Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your property. A smooth, well-built asphalt driveway adds curb appeal and provides a reliable surface for vehicles. Our crews build asphalt driveways that handle heavy use, resist cracking, and maintain their appearance through the changing seasons.
We start by assessing soil conditions and drainage patterns, which are especially important in areas near the Mississippi River where ground moisture can fluctuate. Once a stable sublayer is prepared, we install hot mix asphalt to create a stable, attractive surface that is ready to stand up to Memphis heat, rain, and humidity.

Businesses in Memphis rely on strong pavement to support daily operations. Whether you manage a shopping center, office complex, church, school, warehouse, or industrial property, we offer custom asphalt paving solutions that support heavy vehicles, frequent traffic, and long service life.
Our commercial services include:

- Blacktop paving for high-traffic areas
We understand that downtime affects business, so our team works efficiently and communicates clearly to keep your project moving smoothly.
Hot Mix Asphalt for Strength and Performance
Hot mix asphalt is the most reliable material for new asphalt pavement in Memphis. It provides strength, flexibility, and long-term performance. Because it is applied at high temperatures and compacted immediately, it forms a dense, durable surface that stands up to weather, traffic, and aging.
Hot mix asphalt is ideal for:
- Residential driveways
- Commercial parking lots
- Industrial pathways
- Private roads
- Recreational surfaces
Our crews have decades of experience working with hot mix asphalt and know how to apply and finish it for a smooth, long-lasting result.
Blacktop Paving and Resurfacing
If your existing pavement is worn but not fully damaged, blacktop paving or resurfacing can be a cost-effective way to restore its appearance and performance. We evaluate your surface to determine whether an overlay is an option or whether a full replacement is needed. When resurfacing is appropriate, we apply a fresh layer of asphalt that smooths out imperfections and improves traction and durability.
A Team with Local Knowledge and Experience
Memphis presents unique challenges for pavement. Intense summer heat can soften asphalt, while heavy rainfall can compromise the ground beneath it. Our team has worked in these conditions for decades, and we know how to design pavement that handles everything from standing water to high temperatures. When you hire us, you get a paving company that understands the region and builds pavement to last.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does new asphalt pavement last?
With the right installation and routine maintenance, asphalt pavement can last twenty to forty years depending on use and weather exposure.
How long before I can drive on new asphalt?
Most new asphalt surfaces can handle light use within twenty four to forty eight hours, though curing continues for several days.
Do you remove old pavement before installing new asphalt?
Yes. When necessary, we tear out damaged pavement and rebuild the base to ensure the new surface lasts.
What areas do you serve?
