"Excellent work! We had over 2600 square feet of driveway done in pavers. The old driveway was concrete - Westcape removed it and installed pavers. The attention to detail was excellent - very impressive. The crew was friendly, polite and professional. I was very impressed."

"Hector and his crew did an incredible job in transforming our backyard from a sand pit to a beautiful desert oasis. Shortly after his crew finished their work, the first hummingbird arrived to inspect all the colorful new flowers! We are so very pleased with the results and are looking forward to enjoying the yard, whether sitting outdoors or viewing it from the inside the house. Hector was very easy to work with, listened to what we wanted, and designed the perfect back yard for us. We highly recommend him."

"The driveway and walkway look great! We highly recommend Systems Pavers. I have had some bad experiences with contractors in the past, so we were especially impressed with how professional and courteous everyone was. The Salesman continued to be friendly, answered questions promptly, and overall helpful after we signed the contract. The Project Manager was also attentive and great to work with. The crew was polite, organized, and skilled. We are very happy with the work and the overall experience."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.

The choice between asphalt and concrete depends on your priorities, budget, and climate.

Concrete is generally more durable, lasting up to 50 years with minimal upkeep, and offers more customization options like staining and stamping, which can add more to a home's value. However, it is more expensive upfront and can be prone to cracking in cold climates where water can freeze and expand.

Asphalt is typically cheaper and quicker to install and is easier to repair. It performs better in colder climates. However, it requires more maintenance, including regular resealing, has a shorter lifespan, and can get hot and sticky in intense sunlight.

Ultimately, if durability and long-term value are key, concrete is often the better choice. If upfront cost and performance in cold weather are more important, asphalt may be preferable.

An asphalt overlay or top coat costs between $3 and $7 per square foot. For a standard, single-car driveway that’s 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, that’s a total of between $600 and $1,400. For a two-car driveway, you’re looking at a total of between $1,200 and $3,000.

Yes, you can retrofit an existing driveway, but this usually involves cutting grooves into the driveway, installing the heating elements, then sealing them. While this is much less expensive than typical heated driveway systems, the final appearance could be diminished. Speak with a driveway paving company to confirm which design method is best for you.

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.
