About the Richmond Division Serving Central Virginia
Located in the central part of the state and along the popular I-95 corridor, Richmond is the 4th largest city in Virginia. The Greater Richmond Region includes the cities of Richmond, Petersburg, Hopewell and Colonial Heights. In the past, Ruston Paving was able to satisfy the demand for work and asphalt paving services for Richmond, VA and surrounding areas in Central Virginia from our Northern VA Division and our Raleigh/Durham Division. Ideally located halfway between these two locations and acting as one of the gateways to the Hampton Roads area of Virginia (Norfolk, Newport News and Virginia Beach), Central Virginia quickly became an obvious choice for expansion.
Featured Projects in Richmond
Asphalt Paving Services for the Richmond Area
Asphalt Milling and Resurfacing
In cases where asphalt has been neglected, more extensive work may be required. This could involve a complete removal of the existing asphalt pavement or a more straightforward resurfacing or overlay process. Our team assesses your specific needs to recommend the most effective solution.
Soil Stabilization and Full-Depth Reclamation
Our commitment to delivering long-lasting results extends to evaluating the strength of the subgrade for your new asphalt surface. Sometimes, enhancing the underlying materials is essential to establish a robust foundation that can effectively support the new pavement. We offer soil stabilization and full-depth reclamation services to ensure the stability of your project.
Excavation, Grading, Storm Drainage and Stone Base
When a new pavement section is needed, we provide a comprehensive, turnkey solution. This includes excavation, grading, and the installation of a robust stone base before topping it off with a fresh layer of high-quality asphalt pavement. We take care of every step of the process, ensuring your project is executed seamlessly.
Specialized Athletic and Recreational Surfaces
Although asphalt is mostly found in parking lots and roadways, we specialize in the repair and construction of less common athletic and recreational surfaces. Examples of these are walking trails, running tracks, tennis courts and pickleball courts.
Asphalt Pavement Repair and New Construction
For over 80 years, Ruston Paving has been providing excellent service to our customers. We specialize in both new asphalt pavement construction and asphalt pavement repairs for commercial and industrial projects.
Parking Lots, Roadways and Subdivisions
Asphalt pavement is mostly found on parking lots and roadways. Most of our work involves the construction and repair of these more common asphalt surfaces.
