Bon Air’s Trusted Sealcoating Contractor
Estimate RequestAsphalt Sealcoating and Maintenance in Bon Air, VA
RVA Asphalt & Sealcoating delivers driveway sealcoating, parking lot sealcoating, asphalt repair, crack sealing, and line striping across Bon Air, Virginia, serving HOAs, homeowners, and small businesses throughout this established Chesterfield County community.
Bon Air grew up as one of Richmond’s first streetcar suburbs in the late 1800s. Today it’s a mix of historic homes around Buford Road and Forest Hill Avenue, mid-century neighborhoods like Bon Air Hills and Crestwood, and newer developments out toward Huguenot Road and Robious Road. Most of it sits under one of the densest mature tree canopies in the region, which is part of what gives the area its character — and part of what makes pavement care here genuinely different from the rest of the Richmond metro.
We’ve sealcoated and repaired pavement everywhere from older streetcar-era driveways near the historic core to the commercial properties along Huguenot Road. We know which subgrades were laid before modern engineering standards existed, where tree roots are heaving older asphalt, and where unsealed pavement is taking the worst of central Virginia’s humid summers under a thick canopy that keeps surfaces wet long after the rain stops.
When you call us, you’re getting a contractor who understands what makes Bon Air properties different and builds the right scope for each one.

Driveway Sealcoating
Bon Air’s dense tree canopy is a defining feature — and a problem for unsealed asphalt. Shade keeps surfaces wet longer after rain, pollen and sap stain bare pavement, and the humid Mid-Atlantic summer accelerates UV oxidation even in partial shade. Sealcoating creates a barrier against UV, moisture, and organic damage. Bon Air homeowners who maintain a fresh sealcoat every two to three years often extend their driveway’s life by a decade or more. That’s thousands of dollars saved.
Commercial and Parking Lot Sealcoating
Local businesses along Huguenot Road, Robious Road, and the smaller commercial pockets through Bon Air know first impressions matter. A faded, cracked lot pulls customers away from your storefront. Regular commercial sealcoating costs a fraction of replacement, and skipping it usually means resurfacing or fully replacing your lot years earlier than necessary.
We work with Bon Air commercial properties on phased maintenance that fits real operating hours. Work happens around your tenants and your customers, not the other way around.
Asphalt Repair
Small problems become expensive problems fast in Bon Air’s climate. That crack from last winter is wider now, and next year’s freeze-thaw cycle will push it open further. Tree roots that lifted the surface near your driveway edge are not going to stop. Standing water in a low spot is undermining the base.
We offer the full spectrum of asphalt repairs — crack sealing, infrared patching for seamless results, skin patches for surface issues, and full-depth replacement when the base has failed. We tell you what’s actually wrong and what actually fixes it.
Crack Sealing
Hairline cracks are how water gets to your base. Once water reaches the subgrade, freeze-thaw expansion does the rest. Bon Air’s heavy canopy keeps moisture in cracks longer than open properties would experience, and humid Richmond summers keep them from drying out. We crack-seal in spring and fall, before the next weather cycle turns a hairline into a structural issue.
Parking Lot Striping
Faded striping costs you parking capacity, creates ADA compliance issues, and signals neglect to anyone pulling in. Fresh, clear markings make your lot work better and meet current code. Chesterfield County has specific requirements for commercial parking, ADA-compliant accessible spaces, fire lane marking, and directional flow that we make sure your lot meets. See our parking lot striping services for more.
Driveway Paving
Many Bon Air driveways were laid decades ago over Piedmont clay subgrades that weren’t built to current standards. When humidity and rain saturate that clay, the base softens and the surface fails. We don’t just lay new asphalt over a failing foundation. Driveway paving in Bon Air means assessing what’s actually under your existing driveway, doing proper base reconstruction where needed, and matching the work to the character of the street where it counts.

Why Local Knowledge Matters in Bon Air
Bon Air doesn’t behave like the rest of the Richmond metro, and pavement work here genuinely benefits from a contractor who has spent time on these streets. The mature tree canopy — one of the densest in the region — keeps shaded driveways wet long after rain, holds humidity in cracks, and drops pollen and sap onto unsealed asphalt year-round. Driveways here oxidize and stain faster than the partial shade would suggest.
Newer commercial properties along Huguenot Road and the Robious Road corridor are typically in better structural shape, but they take heavy turning loads in concentrated areas — drive-through approaches, dumpster pads, and lot entrances where the original specification didn’t anticipate today’s traffic volume. We see surface failure first in those spots, then base failure if it goes unaddressed.
Across all of Bon Air, central Virginia’s combination of humid summers and roughly 30-50 freeze-thaw cycles each winter punishes pavement that’s been left unsealed. Water gets into hairline cracks, freezes, expands, and slowly breaks the surface apart. The fix is straightforward — seal the cracks, restore the binder, and address base issues early. For more on this, see our knowledge-base articles on how Richmond humidity affects asphalt and signs your commercial parking lot needs attention after winter.
Permits and Regulations
Bon Air sits in Chesterfield County, which means permitting goes through the Chesterfield County Department of Building Inspection — not the City of Richmond and not Henrico County. Standard residential sealcoating and minor crack repair typically don’t require a permit. New driveway construction, expanded paved footprints, and most commercial paving projects do go through county review.
Commercial parking lots must meet current ADA accessibility standards for accessible parking counts, ramp slopes, and path of travel. Larger commercial projects trigger stormwater review under Chesterfield’s program. Properties within or adjacent to the Bon Air historic area may have additional considerations for visible exterior work.
We handle the permitting regardless of which jurisdiction or department applies. Chesterfield County has its own requirements that differ from Henrico, the City of Richmond, and the surrounding counties, and we make sure your project complies from the start. If your property is near the county line — common in northern Bon Air — we confirm which jurisdiction applies before scoping the work. We also handle paving and sealcoating throughout the surrounding area, including Midlothian, Chesterfield, Tuckahoe, and Chester.
