Lebanon’s Trusted Concrete-to-Asphalt Conversion Experts
That cracked, stained concrete driveway doesn’t have to be a permanent eyesore – there’s a better, more durable solution right here in Lebanon.
When I first started All Star Seal & Stripe three decades ago, I never imagined how many Lebanon families would be dealing with the same frustrating problem: beautiful homes with unsightly concrete driveways and parking lot areas that seemed to crack and stain no matter what they tried. Just last month, I helped the Johnsons over on Maple Street transform their deteriorating concrete driveway into a smooth, professional-looking asphalt concrete road surface that completely changed their home’s curb appeal.
As a family-owned business that’s been serving Lebanon, TN for over 30 years, I’ve seen firsthand how concrete surfaces around our area struggle with our Tennessee weather patterns. The freeze-thaw cycles, combined with our clay soil conditions and temperature fluctuations, create unique challenges that many homeowners and business owners simply don’t realize can be permanently solved through professional concrete to asphalt conversion construction methods.
Here’s the reality: concrete surfaces inevitably develop cracks, oil stains, and surface deterioration that not only look unprofessional but can actually decrease your property value. Whether you’re a homeowner tired of looking at that cracked concrete slab driveway every time you pull into your garage, or a business owner concerned about customer impressions at your parking lot, converting your concrete surfaces to high-quality asphalt concrete offers a lasting solution that’s both cost-effective and dramatically improves your property’s appearance.
Our concrete contractor services complement our asphalt conversion expertise, giving us unique insight into why concrete fails and how proper asphalt installation can provide the durable, attractive road surface you’ve been wanting. From the historic downtown area near the Wilson County Courthouse to the newer developments off Highway 70, we’ve helped countless Lebanon property owners make this smart upgrade to their concrete surfaces using proper construction techniques and quality materials.
Our Concrete to Asphalt Conversion Process
Converting concrete surfaces to asphalt concrete isn’t just about laying new material over old – it requires precision, experience, and understanding of Lebanon’s unique soil and weather conditions. Our proven three-step construction process ensures your new asphalt concrete road surface will last for decades, not just years, regardless of temperature extremes or weight loads.
First, we carefully assess your existing concrete slab and create a detailed removal plan using specialized measurement tools. This includes checking for proper drainage around your Lebanon property, as our area’s clay soil can create water retention issues that many contractors overlook. We then remove the concrete completely using heavy-duty construction equipment and trucks, ensuring proper base preparation that accounts for Tennessee’s freeze-thaw cycles. The precise measurement of excavation depth and diameter specifications are crucial for proper gravel and crushed stone base installation.
Next, we install a professionally graded base using materials specifically chosen for Middle Tennessee conditions. This foundational construction work involves careful measurement of sand and crushed stone ratios, typically requiring several cubic yard loads of base material per ton of coverage area. Our three decades of local experience really matters here – we know exactly how deep to excavate and what base rock materials perform best in our Wilson County climate. The proper mixture of aggregate materials ensures optimal weight distribution and temperature resistance throughout the road surface.
Finally, we install premium asphalt concrete using commercial-grade equipment and techniques. Our construction process involves heating the asphalt mixture to the precise temperature for optimal viscosity and workability, ensuring the liquid bitumen binder properly coats all aggregate components. Every conversion includes proper compaction using specialized tools and machinery, professional edge finishing, and our signature attention to detail that’s made us Lebanon’s trusted asphalt contractor for over 30 years. The bitumen binder in our asphalt concrete creates a durable, flexible road surface that outperforms traditional concrete installations in both weight capacity and temperature resistance.
Why Choose Asphalt Over Concrete Replacement
Many Lebanon property owners ask me why they should convert to asphalt concrete instead of simply replacing their concrete slab. The answer comes down to performance, cost, and long-term value – especially in our Tennessee climate. Our quarterly newsletter often features detailed information about the benefits of asphalt concrete over traditional concrete for local driveway and parking lot applications.
Asphalt concrete surfaces are naturally more flexible than concrete, which means they adapt better to our area’s soil movement and temperature fluctuations. While concrete cracks under pressure, quality asphalt concrete bends and flexes, maintaining its integrity even during harsh Lebanon winters or hot summer months. The liquid components in asphalt emulsion allow for better thermal expansion and contraction, while the bitumen binder provides superior flexibility compared to rigid concrete surfaces.
From a cost perspective, asphalt concrete conversion typically costs 30-40% less than concrete replacement while providing superior durability. When calculated per ton of material and cubic yard of coverage, asphalt concrete offers exceptional value for both driveway and parking lot applications. You’ll also see immediate improvements in your property’s appearance and value. The smooth, professional finish of new asphalt concrete creates an instant curb appeal upgrade that concrete simply cannot match in terms of road surface quality and visual appeal.
Maintenance is another key advantage. Asphalt concrete surfaces can be easily seal-coated every few years to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan. This recycling approach to maintenance helps preserve the original road surface while providing ongoing protection against temperature extremes and weight loads. Concrete repairs, on the other hand, are often expensive and create permanent visual patches that never quite match the original surface. Pothole repairs in asphalt concrete are also more straightforward and less costly than concrete crack remediation, requiring fewer tools and less specialized equipment.

Residential and Commercial Applications
Our concrete to asphalt conversion services serve both Lebanon homeowners and local businesses, with specialized construction approaches for each application. Whether you’re dealing with a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot, we have the experience, tools, and equipment to handle projects of any size and measurement requirements, from small residential areas to large commercial installations requiring multiple tonne loads of materials.
For residential properties, we focus on creating smooth, attractive driveways that complement your home’s architecture while providing practical benefits like easier snow removal and reduced maintenance. Many of our Lebanon residential clients are surprised by how much a new asphalt concrete driveway improves their daily routine – no more navigating around cracks or worrying about vehicle damage. The proper height specifications, diameter measurements, and construction techniques ensure adequate drainage and vehicle clearance for any driveway application.
Commercial applications require additional considerations like traffic flow, ADA compliance, and durability under heavy truck traffic. We’ve converted concrete surfaces for Lebanon businesses ranging from medical offices near the hospital to retail locations along West Main Street. Our commercial conversions include proper striping, handicap accessibility features, and engineered drainage solutions. The weight capacity calculations for commercial parking lot applications require precise measurement of base thickness and asphalt concrete depth, often involving multiple tonne loads of materials and specialized construction equipment.
We also specialize in mixed-use conversions where properties need both pedestrian walkways and vehicle road surfaces. This requires careful construction planning to ensure proper transitions between different surface types while maintaining safety and aesthetic appeal throughout your Lebanon property. Our construction methodology includes proper brick or stone edging where needed, and we can integrate decorative elements like mulch beds or plant areas into the overall design. We also consider roof drainage patterns, column placement, and building height when designing comprehensive site improvements with rectangle-shaped layout considerations and proper measurement specifications.

Three Decades of Lebanon Excellence
When I started All Star Seal & Stripe in 1994, Lebanon was a smaller community where your reputation was everything. Today, as our city has grown and welcomed new families and businesses, that same commitment to quality construction work and honest service remains the foundation of everything we do. We’ve had the privilege of serving three generations of some Lebanon families, and that kind of trust doesn’t happen by accident – it comes from consistent delivery of quality asphalt concrete installations and reliable construction services.
Our longevity in this community speaks volumes about our commitment to quality construction. While other contractors come and go, we’ve been here through Lebanon’s growth, from the expansion of The Crossings development to the revitalization of our downtown historic district. We’ve seen what construction methods work in our unique Middle Tennessee environment and what doesn’t, and that experience directly benefits every concrete to asphalt conversion project we undertake. Our construction records show thousands of cubic yard installations and ton after ton of quality materials that continue to perform excellently years after completion.
Local Expertise That Makes a Difference
Understanding Lebanon's specific challenges is crucial for successful concrete to asphalt conversions. Our location between Nashville and Cookeville exposes us to unique weather patterns and temperature variations that many general contractors simply don't understand. We know how the Cumberland River valley affects drainage, how our clay soil composition impacts base preparation, and how seasonal temperature swings affect asphalt concrete performance and bitumen viscosity throughout the construction process. This local knowledge has helped us develop specialized construction techniques that work specifically in Wilson County. For instance, we've perfected our base preparation methods to account for the soil movement that's common in areas like Cedar Grove and Hunters Point. We also understand the drainage considerations that are essential for properties near Lebanon's creek systems and natural water features. Our tool selection and construction equipment specifications are tailored to handle the specific rock and soil conditions found throughout our service area, ensuring proper measurement and installation techniques for every cubic yard of material. Our expertise extends beyond just the technical construction aspects. We know the local permitting processes, understand Wilson County's development requirements, and maintain relationships with local suppliers who provide materials specifically suited for our area's conditions. This local network ensures faster project completion and often results in cost savings that we pass along to our customers. Whether we need a specific quantity of crushed stone, sand, gravel, or a particular grade of bitumen binder, our supplier relationships guarantee quality materials delivered on schedule by reliable truck transport.
Community Involvement and Recognition
Being part of the Lebanon community means more than just running a construction business here – it means actively contributing to what makes our city special. Our team members live here, our children attend Lebanon schools, and we shop at local businesses along West Main Street and Public Square. This isn't just where we work; it's our home, and we take pride in every road surface and driveway we construct. We've been proud to contribute to community projects over the years, including volunteer construction work for Lebanon High School's athletic facilities and supporting local charity events. When the community needed help with paving projects for youth sports leagues, we were there with our trucks and construction expertise, providing asphalt concrete surfaces that could withstand the weight and temperature demands of athletic use. When local churches needed parking lot improvements, we provided construction services at cost because we believe in giving back to the community that has supported us for three decades. Our commitment to quality construction has earned us recognition from local business organizations and consistent referrals from satisfied customers. More importantly, it's earned us the trust of Lebanon residents who know they can count on us for honest advice, fair pricing, and quality workmanship that stands the test of time. Our plant operations and material sourcing practices meet the highest industry standards for both residential driveway and commercial road construction, ensuring every ton of asphalt concrete and cubic yard of base material meets our exacting specifications.
Customer Success Stories From Lebanon
One of our most rewarding recent projects involved a family on Sparta Pike, who had been dealing with a severely cracked concrete driveway for years. The concrete slab had developed major settling issues due to poor original construction and Lebanon’s clay soil movement. The existing surface had multiple pothole formations and structural problems that required complete removal and proper base reconstruction using measured quantities of gravel and crushed stone. After converting their driveway to asphalt concrete, using the proper mixture of bitumen binder and aggregate materials at the correct temperature and viscosity, Mrs. Mitchell told us it was the best home improvement decision they’d made in 15 years.
Another success story involves Lebanon Family Dentistry, whose concrete parking lot had become a liability due to numerous cracks and uneven surfaces. Patients were complaining about the difficulty of walking from their cars to the office, and the pothole issues were creating insurance concerns that affected the building’s roof-to-road accessibility compliance. Our conversion to asphalt concrete not only solved the safety concerns but also improved the professional appearance of their practice. The new road surface, properly measured and constructed with the correct weight specifications and proper height transitions, provided a smooth, safe walking and driving surface. The Dr. said the improvement contributed to increased patient comfort and confidence, and the rectangle-shaped layout we designed maximized their parking capacity while maintaining proper column clearances and plant bed drainage.
These aren’t just isolated success stories – they represent the consistent construction results we deliver for Lebanon property owners who choose to work with a local contractor who truly understands their needs and challenges. From small residential driveways requiring just a few tons of material to large commercial parking lot projects involving extensive cubic yard calculations and multiple tonne loads of asphalt concrete, we deliver the same attention to detail and quality construction methods using the best tools and equipment available.
