Howard's fast-growing subdivisions north of Green Bay are filling with newer two-story homes, vinyl-sided ranch homes, and stone-front colonials, most built in the last twenty to thirty years with wide three-car driveways and curbed streets that look nothing like the narrow blacktop lanes running behind the older Cape Cods and brick ranches closer to the city center. Those wide builder-grade asphalt drives in Howard (54313) sit on heavy red lake clay that holds water and heaves with the freeze-thaw cycle, and we see early frost cracks opening in driveways that are barely five or ten years old.
That's why homeowners in Howard call Green Bay Asphalt Paving. We know the soil here, we know how the winter works, and we've been serving Howard and the surrounding area since 2016 with honest repair and resurfacing work that costs less than replacement and holds up to the Wisconsin freeze.
Asphalt Paving in Howard (54313)
Howard's subdivisions present a specific set of paving challenges. Your driveway is wide, which is good for three cars, but it sits on clay subgrade that expands and contracts with frost. When the spring thaw comes and water pools at the edges or at the apron, it works into cracks and heaves the surface. Early frost cracks in builder-grade asphalt usually mean the base was thin or the compaction was rushed. A pothole opens, a crack spreads, and suddenly you're looking at a repair or a full replacement. The good news: most of those driveways don't need replacement yet. A quality resurfacing or overlay can add ten to fifteen years of life for a fraction of the cost.
Access for our paver and roller is usually straightforward in Howard's newer subdivisions, but we always account for tight side yards and the need to protect landscaping. We've been paving in Howard and across the Green Bay area for over eight years, and we understand the local soil, the drainage patterns, and how to build a drive that handles the winter.

How a Job Works in Howard
We start with a free on-site visit to your property in Howard. We measure your driveway or lot, look at the base and subgrade, check drainage and any ponding, and talk through whether repair, resurfacing, or replacement makes sense for your budget and timeline. We provide a written estimate with square footage and tonnage specs so you know exactly what you're paying for.
When we're ready to start, our crew handles site prep, base work if needed, paving, and compaction. In Howard's subdivisions, we coordinate with any HOA architectural standards and make sure we're not blocking access for neighbors. If your driveway apron or curb cut needs village approval, we help you navigate that process with the local building department.
We clean up thoroughly when we're done, haul away debris, and walk through the finished job with you. Your property is left clean and ready to use.
Driveway paving in Howard typically starts around $6 per square foot for a new installation, depending on base condition, thickness, and site access. A resurfacing or overlay, which is often the right choice for an aging driveway with surface cracking, runs from about $4 per square foot. Repair work for potholes or localized patches starts at $450. The real cost drivers are the square footage of your lot, the condition of the subgrade, whether we need to mill or remove old asphalt, and how much base preparation your soil requires. We always provide a written estimate before we start. Call us at (920) 536-4534 for a free estimate and honest advice on what your driveway actually needs.
