Nepean homeowners and property managers depend on durable asphalt surfaces that can withstand Ottawa’s climate and decades of use. A1 Top Hat provides professional driveway paving and asphalt services in Nepean, delivering long-lasting results built on proper excavation, solid base preparation, and quality materials.
Nepean features a mix of heavy clay soils, older granular bases, and established neighborhoods where driveways have settled over time. These conditions often lead to cracking and drainage issues if not addressed properly. We rebuild and reinforce the granular base to create a stable foundation before paving.
We specialize in residential asphalt driveways designed for daily car and light truck use. Our process includes excavation when required, granular base correction, and installation of HL3 fine hot mix asphalt at a 2.5-inch final compacted thickness for strength, smoothness, and longevity.
Sunken garage approaches and poor drainage are common in older Nepean neighborhoods. We correct driveway pitch from street to garage, eliminate low spots, and restore proper asphalt-to-concrete transitions to ensure smooth vehicle access and effective water runoff.
In addition to full paving, we provide asphalt repair and maintenance services including pothole repairs, cut-and-patch work, crack repairs, resurfacing, and protective sealing. These services help Nepean homeowners extend the life of their driveways and prevent costly structural failures.
Our sealing process starts with meticulous surface preparation, including weed removal, edge straightening, and thorough cleaning to remove dirt and fine debris. We apply commercial-grade JetBlack asphalt sealer to protect against moisture intrusion, oxidation, and Ottawa’s freeze-thaw cycles.
We take pride in working respectfully in established Nepean neighborhoods. Our crews protect surrounding landscaping and structures, maintain clean and organized job sites, and complete each project with minimal disruption and a thorough final cleanup.
We’ve completed numerous asphalt driveway and interlock projects throughout Nepean, working with homeowners on both older properties and new builds.
Our residential driveways are installed using HL3 fine hot mix asphalt at a 2.5-inch compacted thickness, ideal for cars and light trucks. Every driveway is graded to direct water away from garages and foundation

How long does an asphalt driveway last in Nepean?
With proper installation and maintenance, an asphalt driveway in Nepean can last 20–30 years. Base preparation, drainage, and regular sealing are key factors in long-term performance.
Do older Nepean driveways require excavation before paving?
Often, yes. Many older driveways have settled or lost base material over time. We assess each site and recommend excavation and base rebuilding when necessary to prevent future failure.
What type of asphalt do you use for residential driveways?
We use HL3 fine hot mix asphalt, designed for residential driveways supporting cars and light trucks, installed at a 2.5-inch final compacted thickness.
Can you fix low spots or water pooling on my driveway?
Yes. We correct drainage issues by rebuilding the base, adjusting driveway pitch, and eliminating low spots that cause water to pool near garages or walkways.
When should I seal my driveway in Nepean?
Sealing is typically recommended 6–12 months after new asphalt installation and every 2–3 years afterward to protect against moisture and freeze-thaw damage.
