"Had new driveway put in and couldn't be happier with the job done. They came on the day and time they said with a whole fleet of equipment and crew and got right to work. From start to finish they did fantastic work. They communicated with me thru out to make sure I was happy with the slope of new driveway for water run off before putting down top coat. Excellent pricing,quality workmanship. Will be using John Cooper paving and sealing next year to seal driveway. Would highly recommend"
"We had our driveway and sidewalks paved, and the company did an excellent job. The crew was prompt, professional, and very courteous throughout the entire process. Their workmanship was high quality, and everything was completed on time. We’re very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for paving services."
"We hired Asphalt Engineering to install a driveway this past summer to replace our gravel and deteriorated bituminous concrete driveway with new bit conc. We sought proposals from two contractors. Although their prices were within a few hundred dollars of each other’s, Asphalt Engineering’s proposal was far superior. It was a multi-page document that included photos, sketches, details, dimensions, and a cost estimate. The other contractor submitted a two-paragraph proposal. Asphalt Engineering arrived as scheduled to remove the existing driveway, grade, and install a gravel base sloped for proper drainage. A week later they returned, as scheduled, to install the binder and finish coats. Their work was excellent. The driveway now drains as it should. I highly recommend Asphalt Engineering. If I had another driveway, I’d hire them again. You should too!"

"I hired this company to install cobblestone border and a new asphalt driveway. George responded promptly to give us a quote and started the cobblestones about 2 weeks later and paved the driveway a few days later. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer job."
In any asphalt paving project, base preparation is the most critical stage, as shortcuts here lead to premature failure. In MA, this means excavating deep enough to account for the 42-inch frost line and properly compacting the subgrade to 95% density. Proper grading for drainage is also essential, as is ensuring the asphalt mix is maintained at the correct temperature (275-300°F) during placement.

Brockton’s climate significantly affects asphalt paving. The optimal season is from May to October, as installation requires temperatures above 50°F.
