"Driveway is done!! They took it from a camper on grass and rocks, falling apart driveway, crumbling parking pad to a gorgeous solid camper pad, parking pad, flat, no standing water on the driveway area. Leonard and the entire crew was the friendliest, most professional group, they worked hard, showed up when agreed on, finished quickly and gave me a “walk around” to make sure it met my standards before leaving. I got to meet the owner several times, he treated us like he’d known us forever each time we talked. I would definitely recommend APS Chip Seal & Paving."
"Anthony and his crew were on time and did a fantastic job! They didn't leave until the job was completed. We have a hilltop driveway and all I can tell you was WOW, what a beautiful driveway I have now because of Seal Right. Thank you Anthony!"
"Nothing but a positive experience from Aaron Trail. Very easy to communicate with. Very prompt, kept all appointments. The new paint looks amazing and just the colors we selected. All stucco repairs that were made were blended so well, there is no way to tell where the original issues were! I already have recommended them to friends and family, I will continue to do so. Very happy with Aaron Trail! "
Driveway paving costs around $4,500 on average, but depending on many factors, you could pay anywhere from $2,500 to $6,600 or more. The size of your driveway will usually be the most significant factor, with more square footage increasing your costs. You can expect to pay between $2 and $15 per square foot for paving services.
Some other factors that play a role include the following:
Quality of the materials
Contractor’s experience and expertise
Site preparation and grading, if necessary
Layout of your driveway
Sometimes, when people talk about asphalt driveways, they’re actually referring to asphalt concrete, which is a completely different compound. Asphalt concrete is asphaltic cement combined with sand or grit. It is significantly more lasting and durable than regular asphalt but also much more expensive. If you’re considering using asphalt concrete, ask an asphalt company for their expert opinions.
New asphalt goes through two stages: drying and curing. Drying typically takes 24 to 72 hours, after which the surface is solid enough for light use like walking or careful driving. While you may be able to park on it after 72 hours, the surface is still soft and should be treated gently. Full curing is a much longer process, taking anywhere from 30 days to a full year for the asphalt to reach maximum strength. During this extended curing period, the asphalt is susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles, sharp objects, and high temperatures. Factors like weather, the specific asphalt mix, and application thickness all influence drying and curing times. For the most accurate timeline and to ensure the longevity of your new asphalt, it is always best to consult with your installation contractor for their specific recommendations.
The average cost to repair an asphalt driveway is around $2,459 to $2,500. However, prices can range from $100 for minor DIY crack filling to over $4,000 for more extensive professional work. Costs are often calculated per foot, with minor repairs costing $1 to $3 per linear foot and heavier damage like potholes, sinking, or crumbling costing $2 to $5 per linear foot. Patching smaller potholes can cost around $2 to $3 per square foot. The final price depends on the severity and extent of the damage, driveway design, local contractor rates, and whether sealing is included. For major repairs, it is recommended to hire a professional, and you may get a better deal by bundling repair and sealing services together.
Professionals ensure a solid base and smooth finish, enhancing durability and appearance.
