Local Paving
Paving in Springfield, PA
Springfield Township sits at the crossing of Baltimore Pike (Route 1) and Sproul Road (Route 320) in Delaware County, anchored commercially by the retail development around Springfield Mall. Lots serving that retail corridor see heavy daily customer and delivery traffic, requiring a durable structural mix and striping that stays legible through repeated use and winter snowplow scraping.
Away from the Route 1/320 intersection, Springfield's residential streets toward Media and Morton are more conventional suburban stock — established driveways that, depending on age, need anything from routine sealcoating to full resurfacing. Our work in the township covers both ends of that spread, from mall-area commercial lots built to handle daily retail volume to quieter neighborhood driveway maintenance where sealcoating on a regular cycle keeps an older driveway from needing full replacement.
Our Process
How we pave a Springfield driveway or lot
Every job follows the same disciplined sequence — the base and drainage work you can’t see is what keeps the surface you can see from cracking, sinking, or holding water a few winters later.
- 1
Site inspection
We walk the site — a retail lot in the Springfield Mall corridor along Baltimore Pike, or a residential driveway on a quieter street toward Media or Morton — and evaluate the existing surface, drainage, and how daily customer, delivery, or household traffic will load the new pavement.
- 2
Removal & prep
Worn asphalt and any unstable base material are fully removed and the site is cleared and prepped. On a busy retail lot that means staging the work so customer and delivery access stays open while we go.
- 3
Grading & drainage
The surface is graded to move water off the pavement and out to the drains, and adding paved area can factor into the township’s stormwater review — so getting the grade and drainage right matters both for the pavement and for staying within the rules.
- 4
Stone base
A compacted stone base is installed or rebuilt — built heavier for the mall-area retail lots that carry constant customer and delivery turnover, standard depth for residential driveways on the township’s neighborhood streets.
- 5
Asphalt installation
Hot-mix asphalt is laid at a depth suited to the job — a durable structural mix for the Route 1 and Route 320 retail corridor, standard depth for the more conventional suburban driveways toward Media and Morton.
- 6
Rolling & compaction
Professional rollers compact the asphalt into a dense, even surface built to stand up to the steady traffic along corridors like Baltimore Pike (Route 1) and Sproul Road (Route 320).
- 7
Cleanup & finishing
We clean the site and handle finishing work; striping for retail lots is scheduled once the asphalt has cured enough to hold a line, laid out to stay legible through heavy use and winter plowing.
- 8
Aftercare
Most residential jobs take one to a few days; retail lots are staged around business hours. Keep vehicles off for at least 48 hours and follow the aftercare we provide.

Repair, resurface, or replace
The right fix for your driveway
Springfield spans both ends of the market — heavy retail lots around the mall corridor, and established suburban driveways toward Media and Morton that range from routine sealcoating to full resurfacing — so the right fix comes down to the base underneath. If it’s still sound, you have affordable options; if it’s failing, resurfacing over it only buys a little time before cracks reflect back through. Here’s how we tell the difference on a Springfield property, and what each path means for cost and how long it lasts.
Sealcoat & crack fill
Often the smartest money on a Springfield driveway: sealing on a regular cycle and filling small cracks early keeps water and winter road salt out of the base — and keeps an older neighborhood driveway from sliding toward needing full replacement.
Resurface
When the surface is worn but the base is still solid, a new asphalt layer over a prepared surface restores it for far less than a full rebuild — the right call for many of the township’s established suburban driveways.
Replace
Alligator cracking, sinking, or standing water — whether under a long-neglected driveway or a heavily used retail lot — usually mean the base itself has failed. We remove and rebuild the base and drainage so the new surface actually lasts.
Maintenance
Keeping Springfield asphalt in shape year-round
Spring
Inspect for cracks, potholes, and standing water after a winter of plow scraping and road salt, and clear leaves and debris from lot and curb drains so runoff has somewhere to go once the ground thaws.
Summer
Warm, dry weather is ideal for crack filling and sealcoating — the maintenance that keeps an older Springfield driveway on a steady cycle instead of heading toward replacement. On retail lots, sealing early keeps water out of the base before fall traffic climbs.
Fall
Clear leaves and debris from driveway aprons and parking-lot drains, and repair open cracks before the freeze-and-thaw cycle and the first plow pass work them wider.
Winter
Plows and road salt are hard on asphalt edges and drive-lane striping. Use plastic snow shovels on driveways, keep harsh deicers in check, and plan plowing on the mall-area lots so repeated scraping doesn’t wear the striping down before spring.
Why H&H
Local, licensed, and built on base work
H&H is owned by Henry, a third-generation paving contractor with over a decade in the trade, serving Springfield and the rest of Delaware County — including Media, Morton, Clifton Heights, and Broomall. Licensed and fully insured, our crew focuses on the base prep, grading, drainage, and compaction that decide whether a mall-area retail lot or a neighborhood driveway holds up to the daily traffic along Baltimore Pike and Sproul Road and winter plowing — and we give straight answers on whether repair, resurfacing, or replacement is the best value for your property.
FAQ
Springfield asphalt paving questions
Will widening my driveway trigger a stormwater review in Springfield Township?
It can. Springfield Township counts driveways toward a property’s impervious surface, and adding paved area past a set threshold can trigger stormwater review — while resurfacing an existing driveway keeps the same footprint and usually doesn’t. Thresholds and specifics change, so if you’re weighing expanding versus resurfacing, we confirm the current rules and pull any permits before we start.
Do you pave and stripe the mall-area retail lots?
Yes — the retail corridor around Springfield Mall is a big part of our commercial work. We build these lots on a durable structural mix for constant customer and delivery turnover, and lay out the striping to stay legible after repeated snowplow scraping through the winter.
My driveway or lot connects to Baltimore Pike or Sproul Road — is a special permit needed?
Likely. Where an entrance connects to a state-maintained road like Baltimore Pike (Route 1) or Sproul Road (Route 320) rather than a township street, PennDOT issues the entrance permit (a Highway Occupancy Permit) and reviews sight distance and drainage. We handle that step; a township-road connection is reviewed by the township.
Is sealcoating really worth it, or should I just resurface?
For many Springfield driveways, regular sealcoating is the smartest money. On a surface that’s still sound, a steady sealcoating cycle and early crack filling keep water and salt out of the base and can hold off a full resurfacing for years. Once the base is failing, though, sealing only hides it — that’s when resurfacing or replacement makes sense.
When is the best time of year to pave in Springfield?
Late spring through early fall. Warm, dry conditions let the asphalt compact and cure properly, which matters in our Mid-Atlantic climate where winter brings plow scraping and road salt.
How long does asphalt last with Springfield’s winters?
With proper base preparation and regular sealcoating, an asphalt driveway or lot commonly lasts 15 to 20+ years, even with the freeze-thaw stress and snowplow scraping a full Mid-Atlantic winter puts on it — and staying on a sealcoating cycle is what gets an older driveway to the top of that range.
