"This is the second project that Manny and his guys have done for me, and I couldn’t be more pleased! They were able to schedule me quickly, worked efficiently, and gave me a really competitive price! They’ve done my driveway, extension pathway around my house and a back patio and all of it has been absolutely spectacular! I will be using them for all of my future landscaping needs and anything else that they may offer!"

"Cristo and team are excellent. I have worked with them for over 2 years on putting in my entire new home landscaping from scratch. They installed large sections of paver drive, irrigation systems, lighting, gravel, rip-rap rock, tree's, plants and done repair work on my pool area travertine tile. They are always professional, deliver as promised and clean up thoroughly. I will continue to use their services for maintenance and new projects."

Asphalt Driveways FAQs, 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.

Instead of a set number of types, asphalt comes in variations designed for different needs. Some are categorized by temperature—hot mix, warm mix, and cold mix. Others are sorted by composition, like dense-graded, gap-graded (such as Stone Matrix Asphalt), porous, and mastic asphalt. There are also modified versions with added compounds like polymers, rubber, or emulsions. Instead of focusing on a number, it may be more useful to understand how contractors customize asphalt for durability, climate, and traffic conditions.

Professionals ensure a solid base and smooth finish, enhancing durability and appearance.

Think of the street as a way to capture all the elements on either side of the road, including the road—a street encompasses the homes or other buildings, the trees, and the road of a given area as defined by the beginning and end of the street on a map. A roadway, however, is the component of the street where cars travel.

Since it has a smoother surface using a mixture of finer rock and sand, 41A tends to be the best asphalt grade for a driveway, especially for residential driveways. Other options are available, but more homeowners choose 41A for a smoother asphalt driveway. Talk with your asphalt driveway professional for recommendations of the best grade for your specific driveway.
