How soon can I drive on an asphalt driveway after installation?

• <div><p>Give your driveway at least 24 to 48 hours to dry. After 72 hours, you can walk or park on it, but tread lightly. It might look solid, but it’s still soft and can be easily damaged. It can take 30 days to a year for an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-curing-time.htm#:~:text=Don't%20use%20the%20new,from%2024%20to%2072%20hours.">asphalt driveway to fully cure</a>, so avoid parking extremely heavy vehicles on it. For the best results, always check with your contractor for their advice. Different mixes and weather conditions can affect curing times, so it’s worth waiting longer if it means a driveway that lasts.</p></div>

Q: How long does an asphalt milling driveway last?

• <div><p>With proper maintenance, asphalt milling driveways can last 30 years or more. Over time, you&rsquo;ll need to regularly sealcoat your driveway. You should also have your driveway inspected every few years and make any repairs as soon as they are necessary; this will prolong the lifespan of your driveway.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between chip seal and asphalt?

• <div><p>Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals customize asphalt surfaces?

• <div><p>Yes, with colored finishes and decorative stamping for a personalized touch.</p></div>

Q: Do asphalt driveways crack?

• <div><p>Like all driveway materials, asphalt can crack in the wrong conditions and with age. Many things can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-concrete-and-asphalt-driveway-cracks.htm">cause asphalt to crack,</a> including shifting soil or settling under the foundation. Other common causes are driving oversized vehicles on the asphalt, tree roots, and using rock salt during the snowy season. Proper installation and sealing the driveway every 10 years can help prevent cracks.</p></div>

Very hard workers. Even removed a tree that was blocking part of my driveway, without being asked, and I donâ t really consider that part of â lawn care.â

Kevin first tore out and replaced our front steps which had serious settlement issues. He did his best to match our 30 year old brick. It's not a perfect match but not bad. A month or so later he replaced our driveway and added an additional parking pad. Apparently concrete was much cheaper 30...
