"Mr. Evans showed up promptly when scheduled to give us an estimate. We were surprised when he came in considerably lower than the other two estimates, so asked lots of questions to make certain we were all on the same page! He answered all questions and provided a detailed contract. He and his crew showed up for the work the first day the weather allowed. In one day, they tore out the old sidewalk, part of the driveway, and worked with us to set the forms so that we got the design for the new turnaround area and sidewalk. The next day they finished the tear-out and the rest of the forms. The crew showed up Saturday morning to pour the new concrete and worked all day, well into the evening to get the concrete poured, washed to expose the aggregate, and the inlet from the street poured and scored to match an existing concrete entry at the gate to our backyard. As promised, they came back on Monday to finish cleaning up the worksite, as it had been too late and dark to finish that on Saturday. We have a beautiful new driveway, scored cobblestone inlet from the street, turnaround area and sidewalk, and are completely delighted not only with the product, but also with our experience with this contractor. We have told all our friends and will recommend this company again and again! For once, we feel like we got our money's worth, plus some!"

Asphalt Driveways 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.

It’s best to weigh the pros and cons of each material and decide on your priorities for your driveway. Gravel won’t be an appropriate choice if your driveway experiences heavy traffic. You’ll find that you need to level and top it off regularly, which could make the material a much more expensive option.

The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your driveway ideas. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.

Gravel is one of the few driveway materials that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at $1 to $3 per square foot, and can also last upward of 100 years.

The material that’s best for your private road depends on your property, the climate in your area, and your personal preferences. Gravel is an affordable option, but some homeowners don’t like how it looks. It can be a pain to remove snow from, and it requires more ongoing maintenance than asphalt or concrete. However, while these other options require less maintenance and make snow removal a breeze, they’re more expensive and will need repairs from time to time. Ultimately, you’ll have to choose the road material that suits you and your property best.
