Asphalt Paving in West Chester, PA
Asphalt paving, sealcoating, and repair across the borough of West Chester and the townships immediately surrounding it — East Bradford, West Goshen, East Goshen, Westtown, and Birmingham. Borough driveways tend to be short, tight, and steep where they drop off Gay Street or High Street, with limited room to stage a paver. Township driveways out toward Marshallton or Lenape are longer, more rural, and often drain across the surface rather than into a curb.
What gets paved here
Residential driveways make up most of the work in West Chester proper. The townhomes off Pottstown Pike and the older brick-fronts north of Market Street usually have driveways under 1,000 square feet — a half-day pour. Single-family homes off Strasburg Road, in Hillsdale, and in the East Bradford hills push 1,500 to 3,000 square feet, often with a turnaround or a parking pad behind the house. Long shared driveways are common on the Marshallton and Embreeville side.
Commercial work in the borough is dominated by the lots around West Chester University, the Gay Street merchant district, and the office park strips along Westtown Road. University-adjacent lots see heavy student traffic and tight maintenance windows. Office park lots are usually a mill-and-overlay scope.

Local timing notes
West Chester's spring usually warms up by mid-April, and paving work picks up the week before Easter. Borough work has to navigate parking enforcement and the no-truck windows on Gay Street — quotes for in-borough work include a staging plan. Township work is more flexible. The first hard frost usually arrives in early November and shuts down hot-mix paving for the season; sealcoating runs slightly later, into mid-November in a warm year.
