Paving Along the Great River Road
Asphalt paving in Destrehan serves neighborhoods that mostly went up in a single decade. Destrehan is a census-designated place on the east bank of the Mississippi in St. Charles Parish, at about 10 feet of elevation. It had 2,382 residents in 1980, 8,031 in 1990 and 11,340 in 2020.
1980s driveways
A community that more than tripled in ten years has a lot of driveways built at the same time. Those 1980s driveways are now around 40 years old, well past the 15 to 30 years cost guides give asphalt. Many have been overlaid once or twice and need full replacement.
Plantation country
The community is named for Jean Noel Destrehan, an early Louisiana legislator and briefly a U.S. senator. Destrehan Plantation, built around 1780 to 1790, is on the National Register of Historic Places and sits on the Great River Road.
Good schools, busy mornings
Destrehan High School and the area's other schools mean busy morning traffic. We schedule driveway work so families can still get out when needed.
Ground and drainage
At about 10 feet, Destrehan sits on natural levee ground along the river, firmer than the lower land toward the lake. We still check every site for soft spots.
Permits
Destrehan is unincorporated, so St. Charles Parish rules apply on parish roads, and Louisiana DOTD on state highways.
Costs
Angi lists removal and replacement at about $8 to $15 per square foot. For 40-year-old drives, the cost of removing old overlays is part of the job.
What a replacement includes
Removal, base repair on any soft areas, compacted stone, hot-mix asphalt rolled to the thickness in your quote, and clean joints at the garage slab and apron.

Destrehan Questions
My driveway was built in the 1980s. Is it time?
Likely. At 40 years, most asphalt driveways have a failing base. We check before recommending.
Who handles permits?
St. Charles Parish on parish roads.
Can you work around school schedules?
Yes. We plan access so you can get in and out.
Can you overlay instead?
If the base is firm and the surface height allows, yes. Otherwise replacement is the better value.
