Hobart's newer subdivisions west of the airport sit on flat farmland with wide, well-drained driveways that need solid asphalt paving and professional maintenance. The clay subgrade here is stable when it stays dry, but spring thaw and heavy rain can expose poor base prep and drainage problems that show up as soft spots, settlement, and edge cracking.
Green Bay Asphalt Paving has been serving Hobart (54155) and the surrounding Brown County area since 2016. We know the local soil, the freeze-thaw cycle, and what it takes to build a driveway or parking lot that holds up through Wisconsin winters. We're a local crew with local plates, fully insured, and we show up with written estimates and tonnage specs so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Asphalt Paving in Hobart (54155)
Hobart's newer residential areas feature spacious lots with wide asphalt driveways, three-car garages, and curbed streets. The flat terrain is a blessing for grading and drainage, but the heavy red clay subgrade demands proper base preparation. If the base is too thin or poorly compacted, or if water pools under the pavement instead of draining away, the asphalt will soften in spring, develop ruts and low spots, and fail early. We grade and prep the subgrade correctly, set the right thickness for your traffic and soil, and make sure water sheds away from your home and garage.
Potholes and surface cracking in Hobart typically emerge in late March and April as frost comes out of the ground and the clay expands. A single pothole can grow fast if it's not patched, and a driveway with alligator cracking across thirty or forty percent of the surface is past the point where patching makes sense. We'll assess what you have, explain the repair or replacement that makes sense, and price it honestly.
Our team has installed new asphalt driveways, resurfaced worn pavement, patched potholes, widened and extended drives for new garage construction, and built parking lots across Hobart and the Green Bay area. We handle the grading, base prep, and drainage that keep asphalt sound for years.

How a Job Works in Hobart
We start with a free on-site visit to your property. We'll measure the area, look at the existing pavement and subgrade, check drainage and grading, and talk through what needs to happen. We'll provide a written estimate with square footage, tonnage, thickness, and price so there's no surprise when the work begins.
Before any excavation for a full-depth replacement, driveway extension, or widening, Wisconsin law requires a utility locate through Wisconsin 811. We coordinate that, and we work with the Hobart building department and any HOA architectural review if your property falls under those rules. If your driveway apron touches the public right-of-way or affects drainage, your village may require a permit. We'll help you navigate that process and make sure the work is done right.
On the day of the job, our crew arrives with the equipment needed for your scope. We grade and compact the base, lay asphalt to the specified thickness, and finish the surface smooth and level. When we're done, we clean up the site, haul away debris, and walk through the finished work with you.
A new asphalt driveway in Hobart typically runs from $6 per square foot for a straightforward installation on good subgrade, up to $7 per square foot or more if the base needs significant prep, grading, or drainage work. A 500-square-foot drive might cost $3,000 to $3,500 for new paving. Resurfacing an existing driveway with an overlay runs from $4 per square foot if the base is sound. Pothole repairs start at $450, and a full-depth patch for a sunken apron or a failed section starts around $450 as well. Driveway extensions, widening for a new garage, or an apron replacement will depend on square footage, site access, and base conditions. We provide free written estimates with tonnage and thickness specs so you know what you're getting. Call us at (920) 536-4534 to schedule an on-site assessment.
