Driveway Paving & Asphalt Repair in the Highlands, Louisville

The Highlands is one of Louisville’s oldest and best-loved neighborhoods. Homes went up along Bardstown Road and Baxter Avenue after the streetcar arrived in the 1890s, and the whole area was built out by the 1930s. That means many Highlands driveways sit on narrow lots, run close to the house, share space with mature trees and have been patched more times than anyone remembers.

Commonwealth Paving paves and repairs driveways across the Highlands (40204 and 40205). We’re a family-owned Louisville paving contractor, in business since 1988, and we’re used to working carefully on tight, older lots.

Driveways we see in the Highlands

  • Narrow drives between houses. Many lots have driveways only a car-width wide, close to foundations, fences and neighbors’ property.
  • Rear driveways and parking pads. Older homes often have parking at the back, reached by a long, narrow strip.
  • Tree roots. Big old trees near Cherokee Park and along neighborhood streets lift and crack asphalt.
  • Layers of old asphalt. Layers laid over the years can trap water and break up from below.
  • Drainage on slopes. The Highlands sits on a ridge, and water running across a driveway washes out edges.

Over the years I have had my driveway resealed many times. This was the first time by Commonwealth Paving. It was by far the best resealing job I have ever had. The crew of five were outstanding. It was obvious they knew exactly what they were doing and did it very well. I will recommend this company without hesitation.

I was very impressed with Commonwealth Paving We had a few delays in our driveway being re-pavement due to weather and staffing issues, however they were always sure to communicate about the delays which is appreciated. They would call and show up when they said they would. They explained everything about their process and did an excellent job. Would definitely recommend !
