"What a difference our house looks with a beautiful paved driveway. Quality is hard to find and we found it with this bunch. They cleaned up after they paved our double driveway. I was shocked to see them sweeping street. On time and they did more than expected. Price was reasonable. Great job guys! I love coming home to this beautiful driveway. Thank you!"
"It was great. My driveway was repaired in the time frame they set. The workers were really kind. Would definitely use them again if my Gravel driveway needs more work"
"The very best contractor I have ever worked with. He and his company came to repair a large pothole in my asphalt driveway. He also repaired another that had been repaired before but sunk in. His price was very reasonable. Very personable, worked hard. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company. They did an excellent job. I have had other asphalt contractors ever since I put in this asphalt driveway. None have ever done the great job this company did. I will call them every time I need something done to this driveway. Can't rave about them enough. And NO I am not related. Found them on Angi and could not be more happy. GREAT JOB!!!"
"Excellent work. I reached out to them through Angi. They responded the same day and arrived at my home in just a few hours to estimate a new driveway. Their bid was very competitive and even 40% less than another companyâ  s. In less than a week they arrived when they said they would and installed a new driveway. It wasnâ  t a huge job, but the driveway was about as long as a football field. They completed the installation all in the same day. The work was top notch provided by professionals. I could not have asked for better."
"They did an amazing job, work was done according to plan. Workers were also great about cleaning up after themselves. I would suggest them for your project. And plan to hire them for more in the future."
"The job was performed meticulously, professionally, and timely. The driveway is perfect and they sowed grass seeds covered with straw to replenish disturbed areas. I absolutely recommend their services."
"Martinez Masonry did a fantastic job on my covered patio and they were extremely easy to work with. They stayed in constant communication with me and had the job finished in no time."
"Cameron did a fabulous job clearing our heavily overgrown pastures. He was polite, professional and very respectful of our property. I highly recommend him."

Asphalt is made of aggregate materials (sand, rocks, and gravel) and bitumen, a viscous, petroleum-based, waterproof substance. These materials are mixed together at extremely high temperatures to form asphalt.
A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.
Professionals restore the surface to a fresh, attractive finish by applying a new, even sealant layer.
While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.
An asphalt overlay or top coat costs between $3 and $7 per square foot. For a standard, single-car driveway that’s 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, that’s a total of between $600 and $1,400. For a two-car driveway, you’re looking at a total of between $1,200 and $3,000.
