Paving for Swarthmore’s Tight, Established Streets
Swarthmore is a historic Delaware County college town with established, tree-lined residential streets and a small commercial downtown. Every driveway and lot in our service area goes through the same brutal cycle each winter: Southeastern Pennsylvania sees 25-35 freeze-thaw cycles per season, and PennDOT officially defines the Freeze/Thaw Period as February 15 through April 15 in Publication 23. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands about 9%, and widens the crack — repeat that thirty times a winter and a quarter-inch crack becomes a pothole by spring.

Swarthmore, PA Success Story
Residential Driveway Expansion and Asphalt Paving
Project Snapshot
This Swarthmore homeowner needed additional driveway space to accommodate multiple vehicles. The existing driveway was narrow and caused daily parking challenges.
Challenges
Vehicles frequently parked along the edges, causing early breakdown and stressing the surrounding lawn. Continued use would have shortened the life of the driveway if left unaddressed.
Solution
Five Star Asphalt Paving widened the driveway footprint, reinforced the base along the expanded areas, and paved the new section to blend seamlessly with the existing surface. Proper grading was maintained to support drainage and durability.
Results
The expanded driveway now supports daily parking without edge failure or yard damage. Vehicle access is easier, and the driveway is better suited for household needs.
“We finally have enough room without worrying about damaging the driveway or the lawn.”
