If you are using the Kiva model, you can try using the fields in Foundation:Kiva:Settings such as Ground Solar Absorptivity, soil conductivity, soil density, and soil specific heat to make rough changes. If you really want to model pavement separately, you could do that with Foundation:Kiva object and define a custom block which consists of a material name, depth, and x and z positions. Make sure you review the engineering reference section on Kiva.
