In Middle Tennessee, where summer heat bakes the pavement and winter freezes test its limits, the right paving partner makes all the difference. At R&R Paving, we don’t just lay asphalt and concrete—we build lasting surfaces that withstand Nashville’s unpredictable weather, heavy traffic, and the test of time. As a fourth-generation paving company rooted in this community since 1989, we’ve turned decades of hands-on experience into a way of life. Our legacy isn’t just about the years we’ve served; it’s about the trust we’ve earned by solving paving problems the right way, every time.
Whether you’re a homeowner tired of cracks spreading across your driveway or a business owner needing a parking lot that stays smooth and safe for customers, our family’s expertise ensures your project is built to last. Here’s how four generations of craftsmanship translate into better results for Nashville and Hendersonville.
The R&R Difference: Why Family Legacy Matters in Paving
Paving isn’t just a job for us—it’s a tradition. Since our great-grandfather first picked up a paving tool, we’ve refined techniques passed down through the family, blending time-tested methods with modern innovations. That heritage means:
- Local expertise you can’t replicate. We know Middle Tennessee’s clay soil, humidity swings, and temperature extremes intimately. Our mixes and installation methods are tailored to prevent the premature cracking and potholes that plague generic paving jobs.
- Honesty as a foundation. We’ll never upsell you on unnecessary repairs or cut corners with thin asphalt layers. Our estimates are transparent, and our work is guaranteed—because we’re accountable to our name, not just a contract.
- Craftsmanship over speed. Rushing a paving job leads to costly repairs down the road. We take the time to properly grade, compact, and cure surfaces, so your driveway or parking lot stays intact for decades, not just a few years.
This isn’t corporate paving—it’s personal. When you call R&R Paving, you’re working with owners who’ve staked their reputation on quality since before many of today’s “experts” were even in the business.
Residential Paving: Driveways That Last (Without the Headaches)
Your driveway is more than a path to your home—it’s a first impression and a long-term investment. In Nashville’s climate, poor installation or cheap materials can turn a new driveway into a cracked, uneven mess within a few seasons. Here’s how we prevent that:
- Climate-adaptive asphalt mixes. We use flexible, high-quality asphalt designed to expand and contract with Tennessee’s temperature swings, reducing cracks. For concrete, we reinforce with fiber mesh or rebar to prevent shifting.
- Proper drainage planning. Standing water is the enemy of pavement. We grade driveways to direct water away from your home’s foundation and prevent erosion.
- Sealcoating that protects. Every 2–3 years, we recommend sealcoating to shield your driveway from UV rays, oil stains, and moisture. Our commercial-grade sealant penetrates deeper than big-box store products.
Pro Tip: If you notice small cracks (less than ¼-inch wide), don’t ignore them. Fill them with crack sealant in early spring or fall to prevent water from seeping in and widening them. For larger cracks or potholes, call us—DIY patches often fail within months.
Commercial Paving: Parking Lots That Work as Hard as Your Business
A crumbling parking lot doesn’t just look bad—it drives customers away and creates liability risks. For businesses in Nashville and Hendersonville, we focus on:
- ADA-compliant designs. From proper slope gradients to durable, slip-resistant surfaces, we ensure your lot meets accessibility standards while lasting longer.
- Phased repairs to minimize downtime. Need a full resurface but can’t close your lot? We’ll section off areas to keep your business running smoothly during the project.
- Preventative maintenance plans. We’ll create a customized schedule for sealcoating, crack filling, and line striping to extend your pavement’s life by years—saving you thousands in avoidable repairs.
Pro Tip: The best time to sealcoat commercial lots in Middle Tennessee is late spring or early fall, when temperatures are steady (above 50°F at night). Avoid winter applications—the sealant won’t cure properly in cold, damp conditions.
Asphalt Repairs: Fixing Problems Before They Spread
Small issues like cracks or potholes won’t stay small for long in Nashville’s climate. Our repair process stops damage in its tracks:
- Crack sealing (not just filling). We clean and widen cracks slightly, then apply a hot rubberized sealant that bonds to the asphalt. This prevents water from seeping beneath the surface and causing base failure.
- Pothole patching that lasts. We don’t just dump cold patch into holes. We cut out the damaged area, compact a new base, and apply hot mix asphalt for a permanent fix.
- Infrared asphalt repair. For larger damaged sections, we use infrared technology to heat and re-bond existing asphalt with new material, creating a seamless, long-lasting repair.
Pro Tip: If you see alligator cracking (a web of small cracks), it’s a sign of base failure. Don’t waste money on surface patches—call us to assess whether a full-depth repair or resurface is needed.
Your Paving Project Deserves a Family’s Commitment to Quality
At R&R Paving, we don’t measure success by how many jobs we complete—we measure it by how many last. From the first phone call to the final inspection, you’ll work with a team that treats your property like our own. That’s the difference four generations of pride and expertise make.
