Richlands sits west of Jacksonville on rolling coastal plain ground where gravel driveways are still common and the older Main Street homes share the landscape with newer subdivisions full of ranch-style houses on generous, straight lots. If you own property here in 28574, you know that a driveway is not just a path to the garage, it is a piece of infrastructure that has to shed water fast and hold up under the heavy rain that comes with hurricane season.
That is why homeowners and property managers in Richlands call Jacksonville Asphalt Paving. We have been serving this area since 2016, and we understand the soil, the drainage patterns, and the specific wear that asphalt takes on in Onslow County. Whether you need a new driveway, a repair, or help with gravel and grading, we show up local, we measure on site, and we give you honest guidance about what your property actually needs.
Asphalt Paving in Richlands (28574)
Richlands sits on sandy and loamy coastal plain soil that drains well on higher ground but turns soft and seasonally wet near the creeks and marsh drainages that cut through the flat terrain. A driveway built without real attention to grade and compaction settles unevenly or holds water after a storm. The real threat to pavement here is not winter freeze-thaw, since frost only reaches about 12 inches and stays shallow, it is hurricane season. We see 54 inches of rain a year, much of it in heavy summer and fall downpours that find every low spot and wash out a loose base. A driveway with poor pitch and weak edge compaction will fail fast under that kind of water pressure.
We build driveways and repair them with the pitch and drainage that actually matter in Richlands. Hot mix asphalt over a properly compacted aggregate base, laid so water sheds to the sides and the street, not pooling at the garage or running at your foundation. We have been doing this work in and around Jacksonville since 2016, and we know the soil and the weather patterns that govern how long a driveway lasts here.

How a Job Works in Richlands
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (910) 526-0876 or reach out with photos and a description of what you need. One of our team members comes out to your property, measures the area, looks at the subgrade and drainage, and talks through what makes sense for your situation. We give you a written estimate with tonnage specs so you know exactly what you are getting.
When we do the work, we handle the site prep, base compaction, and the asphalt itself. In Richlands, where a lot of properties have tight lot access or sit on ground that needs careful grading, we pay attention to how we move equipment and how we manage water and runoff. If your driveway is near a property line or in an HOA community, we coordinate with those requirements before we start. We work through the long paving season, roughly March through November, so scheduling is usually straightforward.
When we are done, we clean up. You get a property that is ready to use, with a driveway that sheds water the way it should.
A new asphalt driveway in Richlands typically runs from around $6 per square foot for a straightforward installation on a prepared base. Resurfacing an existing driveway, if the base is still sound, starts around $4 per square foot. Pothole repair and patching start at $450. A full driveway replacement, where the old surface comes up and a new base goes down, starts around $7 per square foot. If you are looking at gravel driveway installation and grading, which is still common in Richlands, that starts around $950. The actual cost depends on the square footage of your driveway, the condition of the base underneath, the grade and drainage work needed, and whether we are bringing in new material or reworking what is already there. The best way to know what your job will cost is to call us at (910) 526-0876 for a free estimate. We will come out, measure, look at your site, and give you a number backed by written specs.
