From the National Road to New Neighborhoods
Asphalt paving in Greenfield covers a long timeline of homes. Greenfield became the seat of the newly created Hancock County in 1828, and the National Road, now US 40 and Main Street, was built through the county around 1835. The city had 23,488 residents in 2020. It keeps two National Register districts, the Courthouse Square Historic District and the Greenfield Residential Historic District, alongside newer subdivisions on the edges of town.
Historic residential streets
Homes in the residential historic district often have narrow driveways, alley access and detached garages. Driveways here have usually been patched and overlaid many times. We remove old layers, rebuild the base and pave at a height that matches garage floors and walks, using smaller equipment on tight lots.
Newer subdivisions
Newer neighborhoods around Greenfield have driveways that benefit most from maintenance: crack sealing before winter, sealcoating when the surface fades and spot repairs at the first sign of sinking.
Ownership and value
According to the Census Bureau, about 65 percent of Greenfield homes are owner-occupied, with a median owner-occupied value of $216,400. We put repair and replacement options side by side so you can match the work to the property.
Brandywine Creek
Brandywine Creek flows through Riley Park on the east side of downtown. Properties near the creek can have wet ground, and we test the subgrade and build a thicker base where needed.
A typical Greenfield scope
For an alley-access driveway behind an older home, the work often includes removing old layers, rebuilding the base, paving at a height that meets the garage and alley cleanly, and backfilling the edges. For a newer subdivision driveway, it is more often crack sealing, a patch near the street and a sealcoat.
Maintenance schedule
Sealing cracks each fall and sealcoating every few years is the cheapest way to make a driveway last. We can put you on a reminder schedule.
Downtown event weekends
Downtown events bring heavy use to lots near the courthouse square. We schedule lot work for commercial and church properties well before or after event weekends.
Snow and salt
Greenfield winters bring plowing and salt. Sealed, crack-free asphalt holds up better to both than a worn, open surface.
Timing
Hot-mix paving runs from late spring through early fall. Crack sealing is best done in late summer and early fall, ahead of the first freeze, and sealcoating in dry weather between roughly 50 and 95 degrees.
Ask for it in writing
Whatever you choose, ask for base depth, asphalt thickness and the areas to be repaired in writing before work starts.
Commercial lots on US 40 and near I-70
Interstate 70 parallels US 40 along the city's north side, with access from Exit 104, and State Road 9 crosses Main Street downtown. Businesses along these routes need durable lots and clear striping. We handle overlays, repairs, sealing and ADA-checked striping. For entrance changes on state routes, INDOT's driveway permit process may apply. Call (463) 283-5412 or

Greenfield Questions
Can you work on alley-access driveways in the historic district?
Yes. We plan access through the alley, use equipment sized for tight spaces and match finished heights to garages and walks.
Our newer driveway is starting to crack. What now?
Seal the cracks before winter. If the surface is faded, add a sealcoat. If you see sinking, we check the base.
Do you restripe business lots on US 40?
Yes. We restripe to the 2010 ADA Standards and can paint early or late to avoid closing.
Is a permit needed for a new entrance onto State Road 9?
Connections to state highways generally go through INDOT's driveway permit. We check before work starts.
Does work in the alley need city approval?
If the alley is public right-of-way, yes. We check with the City of Greenfield before working in it.
How much does a new driveway cost here?
HomeGuide's national range is $5 to $12 or more per square foot for standard asphalt, so a 600-square-foot driveway runs about $3,000 to $7,200. Your written estimate is the price.
