"Very pleased with APS all the way around. Doug offered several options of what he could provide, was not pushy and no upselling. He was able to squeeze my small driveway project in on a time line that worked for me. His crew was efficient and organized and clean. Very happy with the end product. I would recommend APS Chipsealing & Asphalt Paving to anyone."
"Excellent experience with this company from initial meeting with Jason and owner, Krystal who came out to give estimate on 8/18/26. They were pleasant, courteous, Krystal explained everything in advance. We agreed to service and job was performed to perfection yesterday, 8/24/26. Team members Mario and Julio arrived on time. They were knowledgeable with 27+ years of experience. They swept up debris at completion, leaving our property clean. Our job was small, yet treated with the attention companies give big projects. We are very pleased with the job they did. We highly recommend their services! It was a pleasure dealing with Krystal and her team."
"We worked with Michael and JP on a big project to redo our front and back yards. Excellent work. It was not an easy job, and they did deliver. Abel and the crew worked really hard, were friendly, respectful, and professional. The finished job was clean. Would recommend them."
"It was fantastic. I left a request on Angies List and John of JDS called me right back. He lives in cottonwood and I live in Prescott Valley. He called a service man in Prescott to see if he was available. Both of them called me right back and I missed their calls as I was on another line. When I did get back with them J.T. was at my door immediately. Took him 10 minutes to do the job and it was excellent. No mess, wonderful service, and priced so that I could afford it."
"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! "

The most obvious disadvantage of permeable paving is that the cost is typically higher compared to non-permeable concrete, pavers, or asphalt methods. Also, the porous material can get clogged with dirt and debris, requiring cleaning and power washing more frequently than standard paving materials and methods. Although permeable paving is not ideal for highways, airports, and other surfaces supporting heavy traffic and machinery, it is suitable for regular residential driveways.
Recycled asphalt is a durable choice for a driveway, but doesn’t have the same appearance and low maintenance as standard asphalt. For long driveways in rural communities, recycled asphalt can make a great choice. Recycled asphalt is 20% to 30% percent less expensive than standard asphalt and is better for the environment.
Costs range from $3 to $7 per square foot, depending on the area size and project scope.
There’s no single best asphalt grade—it all comes down to where and how it’s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional’s input is always a smart move before making a decision.
While paving a driveway is possible to do as a DIY project, we don’t recommend it. Hiring a driveway professional to pave it will ensure that your driveway looks neat and clean and lasts for years to come, and it will also prevent a weak driveway and, potentially, damage to your foundation. Paving a driveway requires heavy machinery, and while you can rent the equipment needed, operating it close to your garage slab or around your home’s foundation can crack it and lead to structural issues.
