Uniontown sits in the rolling country south of Canton where wide family driveways climb and descend on glacial clay, and freeze-thaw cycles that run from November through March pop potholes and heave aprons faster than anywhere else in Stark County. Our crews know these drives, these lots, and these winter conditions because we have been paving and repairing asphalt here since 2011.

Homeowners and property managers in Uniontown (44685) call Canton Asphalt Paving when a driveway has cracked along its downhill edge, when water pools near the garage after a spring thaw, when a pothole opens up after a hard freeze, or when a parking lot has aged past repair. We live and work in Canton and the surrounding areas, and we know Uniontown's neighborhoods, the soil underneath, and the seasonal damage that comes with northeast Ohio winters.

Asphalt Paving in Uniontown (44685)

Uniontown's growing subdivisions carry wide driveways on sloped ground, and that combination creates real challenges. The subgrade here is heavy glacial till clay over sandstone and shale, which holds water and heaves when frozen. A driveway that slopes downhill will crack and drop along its lower edge as the ground shifts. Water that pools at the garage or foundation means the pitch has failed and the base may be softening underneath. Road salt from winter plowing eats the edges of asphalt from November through March. And after a wet freeze-thaw cycle, potholes appear overnight in parking lots and on private roads.

A new driveway in Uniontown needs proper grading and drainage so water runs away from the house and the pavement stays intact. A resurfacing job needs a solid base underneath, or the new surface will crack and fail within a few years. A repair has to match the surrounding pavement and be thick enough to hold, or it becomes a pothole again by next winter. We have been doing this work in Canton and Stark County since 2011, and we know what holds and what does not.

How a Job Works in Uniontown

We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (330) 919-5837, and we come out to look at your driveway, parking lot, or private road. We measure the area, look at the base condition, check the drainage, and talk through what the pavement needs. We give you a written estimate with the square footage, the thickness we recommend, and the tonnage specs so you know what you are paying for.

Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work during the paving season, roughly April through November when the weather is right for hot mix. If your driveway is in a tight subdivision lot, we plan access for the paver and roller. If you have an HOA, we help you understand any architectural standards they may have. If a permit is required under Stark County rules, we help you navigate that with the local building department.

On the day of the job, our fully insured crews do the work cleanly. We remove the old pavement if needed, prepare and proof-roll the base, and lay and finish the new asphalt. When we are done, we clean up the site and walk you through the finished work. New asphalt should not be sealed for the first six to twelve months while it cures, so we advise against early sealing.

Driveway paving in Uniontown typically runs from $6 per square foot for a new installation, and resurfacing runs from $4 per square foot, depending on the size of the job, the condition of the base, and the thickness we recommend. A simple pothole repair starts around $450, and a full driveway repair or replacement depends on how much of the surface has failed. The real cost drivers are the square footage, whether the base is solid or needs work, and how thick the pavement needs to be to handle your traffic and the freeze-thaw cycles here. We give you a written estimate with all of those details so there are no surprises. Call us at (330) 919-5837 for a free estimate on your driveway, parking lot, or private road.

Why do driveways in Uniontown crack and drop along the downhill edge?

The ground underneath is glacial clay that heaves when it freezes and settles when it thaws. A driveway on a slope will crack and drop along its lower edge as the ground shifts. This is especially common in Uniontown's newer subdivisions where the lots are steep. The fix depends on how bad it is: a shallow crack can be patched, but a significant drop means the base has moved and the pavement needs to be removed, the grade reset, and new asphalt laid. This is why proper grading and drainage matter so much here.

A pothole opened up in my driveway after the last freeze-thaw cycle. Can you repair it, or do I need a new driveway?

A single pothole or a few isolated cracks can be patched if the surrounding pavement is sound. We remove the failed area, clean it, and fill it with hot mix compacted to match the rest of the drive. A patch holds well if the base underneath is solid. If your driveway has potholes in multiple places or if the cracks are spreading across the surface in a web pattern (called alligator cracking), that means the base is failing and patching will not hold. In that case, we recommend resurfacing or replacement. Call us at (330) 919-5837 and we will assess it for you.

What does a driveway paving job cost in Uniontown?

A new driveway runs roughly $6 per square foot, and resurfacing runs from $4 per square foot. A 500-square-foot driveway would be in the $3,000 to $3,500 range for resurfacing, or $3,000 to $3,500 for a new installation, depending on the base condition and the thickness we recommend. Repairs start around $450. The exact price depends on the square footage, the condition of the base, and how thick the pavement needs to be to handle Uniontown's winter cycles. We give you a written estimate with all the details. Call (330) 919-5837 for a free quote.

Do I need a permit to pave or repair my driveway in Uniontown?

Permit and inspection requirements vary by municipality in Stark County. Driveway aprons, curb cuts, and impervious-surface limits may require a permit depending on where you live. If you are in a subdivision with an HOA, the HOA may also have architectural standards for driveway materials and extensions. We recommend checking with Stark County at https://www.starkcountyohio.gov and with your local building department to verify what applies to your property. We help you navigate the permitting process once we know what is required.

I live in an HOA community in Uniontown. Do I need HOA approval before paving my driveway?

Most HOA communities in Uniontown require architectural approval before any exterior work, including driveway paving or widening. Some HOAs have standards for driveway material, color, or width. Before you call us, check your HOA rules or contact your HOA board. Once you know what you are allowed to do, we can help you plan the job and coordinate with the HOA if needed. If you are widening a driveway or installing an apron near a property line, make sure the work stays on your property.

Are you insured to do paving work at my Uniontown home?

Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Our crews carry the insurance your property and your peace of mind require. Before you hire any contractor, ask about their insurance coverage and verify they can show proof.

What should I do to prepare my Uniontown driveway for winter, and when should I avoid paving work?

Paving happens during the warm season, roughly April through November, when the asphalt can be laid and compacted properly. Winter is not the time for new paving. If you have cracks or potholes, you can patch them in winter to prevent them from getting worse, but a full resurfacing or replacement should wait until spring. In fall, make sure your driveway drainage is clear so water does not pool and freeze. In spring, after the thaw, check for new cracks or potholes and call us so we can assess what needs to be done. New asphalt should cure for six to twelve months before any sealing, so if you pave in spring or early summer, plan any sealing for the following year.
