"“Exceptional!” This word summarizes the job that Thomas and Dustin’s Asphalt did from the very beginning to the very end of our driveway project. They were extremely professional, responsive and their work was of the highest quality. We had 2,100 feet (0.4 miles) of driveway installed that was ten feet wide. They sloped all of the ditches, graded and built up the driveway where necessary and then installed the new gravel driveway. Some other companies I had gotten bids from were going to just dump gravel, spread it, drive over it a few times and leave - at close to or even slightly higher cost than the exceptional work done by Thomas and Dustin’s Asphalt. Thomas and Dustin’s Asphalt brought in more rock and using a fifteen ton paver, compacted the gravel. They then used a 5000 pound roller to smooth all parts of the driveway. The project took the majority of four days and when the project was complete, they cleaned up everything, made sure there were no imperfections and then rolled out the entire driveway once again. I will not call anyone else in the future other than Thomas and Dustin’s Asphalt for paving or driveway maintenance needs. I highly recommend that you call Thomas and Dustin’s Asphalt also."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether you decide to DIY paver installation or want to hire a pro, it’s smart to understand the process. First, you’ll need to prepare the area by clearing away grass and dirt. Next, you’ll add the paver base of gravel and sand before laying the pavers on top. You may need to cut pavers to fit your space or the landscaping design and add edging stones.

While it may be less expensive initially to lay concrete vs. pavers, the long-term expenses that come with repairing concrete may prove to be less cost-friendly than simply replacing a few damaged pavers. On top of that, stamped concrete may only last for 25 years compared to pavers, which can last over 50 years.

Gravel is the cheapest way to extend a driveway. Gravel is an affordable, practical option that’s easy to install and perfect for DIY projects, helping you save on labor costs. It can be quickly spread and leveled to create extra driveway space without heavy preparation. While gravel doesn’t offer the same durability or finished look as concrete or asphalt, its low cost makes it ideal for budget-conscious homeowners who want a functional solution without overspending.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.
