Paving on the Lakefront
Asphalt paving in Mandeville serves a city that began as a resort and became a commuter town. Bernard de Marigny laid out Mandeville in 1834 on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain and sold lots to New Orleanians looking for a getaway. The first span of the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway opened in 1956 and the second in 1969, and Mandeville grew as a place to live and commute. It had 13,192 residents in 2020.
Lakefront lots
Old Mandeville near the lake sits at about 7 feet of elevation behind a 5-foot seawall. Lots there are older and closer to the water, with mature live oaks and sandy, damp ground. Drainage and roots are the two main concerns.
Newer neighborhoods
North toward Interstate 12, subdivisions are newer and lots larger, often with longer driveways, side-entry garages and parking pads. Those need full bases and careful grading.
Big trees
Mandeville is home to the Seven Sisters Oak, the largest certified southern live oak. Many properties have oaks that need to be worked around carefully.
Permits
Inside city limits, we confirm the City of Mandeville's requirements before work at the street; outside, St. Tammany Parish's.
Costs
HomeGuide puts new asphalt driveways at about $5 to $12 or more per square foot nationally. Long drives, side-entry turnarounds and root work add square footage and labor.
Sealing in the shade
Shaded drives stay damp and collect leaves and needles. Keeping them swept and sealed every few years slows the surface from breaking down.
