A Town Built Almost All at Once
Asphalt paving in Firestone is shaped by one decade. The town had 1,908 residents in 2000 and 10,147 in 2010, an increase of 431.8 percent, then 16,381 in 2020 and an estimated 18,589 in 2023. Thousands of driveways went in during the same few years, so they are reaching the age for resurfacing or base repair at the same time. Neighbors often see the same problems on the same street.
Coal country
Firestone, Frederick and Dacono grew up as coal towns. The Firestone/Legacy Trail runs more than twelve miles, much of it along a railroad right-of-way that once served the coal industry. The town was named for landowner Jacob Firestone and incorporated October 8, 1908.
Driveways at 15 to 20 years
A driveway built in the mid-2000s has been through 15 to 20 Colorado winters. If it was sealed and crack-sealed along the way, it may still be a good candidate for an overlay. If not, look for alligator cracking, settled edges and gaps at the garage. Those point to base problems that need cutting out and rebuilding before any new surface goes on.
Parks and HOAs
Firestone has more than thirty-five parks. Many neighborhoods are run by HOAs that maintain trails, pool lots and common drives. We provide written scopes and phased schedules for HOA lots and can coordinate with management companies.
Weld County ground
Firestone sits in southwestern Weld County at 4,856 feet, about 30 miles north of Denver. Clay soils across the area swell when wet, and lots built on former farmland can settle unevenly. Drainage and base checks come first on every estimate.
Costs
HomeGuide lists resurfacing at about $3 to $7 per square foot and new asphalt driveways at roughly $5 to $12 or more. Angi lists removal and replacement at $8 to $15 per square foot. For a 15 to 20 year old Firestone driveway, the base decides which number applies. We check it before quoting.
Maintenance going forward
After a resurfacing or replacement, seal cracks as they appear and sealcoat when the surface fades. HomeGuide recommends waiting 3 to 6 months before the first seal on new asphalt.

Firestone Questions
My Firestone driveway is about 18 years old. Overlay or replace?
If it has been maintained and the base is sound, an overlay can work. If there is alligator cracking or settling, those areas need base repair or the whole driveway needs replacing.
Do you work with Firestone HOAs?
Yes. We quote patching, sealing, overlays and restriping for HOA lots with written scopes and phased schedules.
Why do so many driveways on my street look the same?
They were built in the same few years with similar methods, so they age at the same rate. Neighbors sometimes schedule work together.
What causes settling near my garage?
Fill and base that were not fully compacted, or soil that stays wet. We rebuild the section from the base up.
How much does resurfacing a driveway cost?
HomeGuide lists about $3 to $7 per square foot for driveway resurfacing. Base repairs before the overlay add to that.
Can you work around our HOA's trail and pool schedules?
Yes. We phase lot work and schedule around peak hours so trails, pools and parks stay usable.
Do you pave in the older parts of Firestone?
Yes. Older blocks near the original town often have narrow drives that need full replacement rather than patching.
