"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!"
"The people at Pro Seal really are experienced Our job required crack sealing and seal coating all the streets in our gated community. The work was coordinated in such a way that our residents experienced very little inconvenience. All of the workers were so skilled, thoughtful, and conscientious. We could tell they do a lot of this work. They were the most competitive bid as well. We highly recommend them! Timbers Residents"
"It went fantastic. My driveway was sinking due to soil compacting. Manny gave a a prompt quote that was better than any of the other 3 I got. He answered every email and question, and was out within 10 days of my first contact. The work was done efficiently and well. The new drive is curing as I write and I would highly recommend the company to anyone in need"
"Valor was wonderful to work with. They faced the rare instance of rain affecting the schedule and instead of just pushing us back they worked between the rainstorms and finished the project on Saturday, again working around the rain. Our street looks awesome. Their crew was also friendly and courteous. They also showed concern for the elderly in our community and supplied a cart to transport people to their vehicles parked on other streets. Highly recommend this company."
"I can't say enough good things about working with Cannon on my off-grid property. He handled several major projects, including my septic installation and road excavation, and was exceptional from planning through execution. My property presented some unusual challenges, and Cannon's creativity, practical judgment, and attention to detail were invaluable in finding the right solutions. His workmanship was equally impressive. When the county inspector examined the septic installation, he remarked, "You couldn't ask for a better install." That pretty much says it all. I couldn't recommend Cannon more highly. He's absolutely the first person I'll call when I need more work done on the property."
"Very good service, things got done when I was told on the day they were going to do it. The Workers were very respectful when doing the job. Very good company to hire to do your next project."
"Please see above. Mr. Trail and his crew are top notch! Oh and I failed to mention they finished the project ahead of time. It doesn't get any better than Aaron Trail Contracting! Thanks guys! "

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.
Driveway aprons typically range between four and seven inches thick, though your town's building codes will likely have specific requirements. Additionally, you may need to add a layer of permeable aggregate in the excavation below your paved apron to ensure proper stormwater drainage.
By grading and compacting the base soil, ensuring proper drainage and stability.
Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.
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.
