"We recently hired System Pavers to remodel our driveway and entranceway. We worked with Ron Willis as our Design Consultant and Adrian O'Donoghue as our Project Manager. Both gentlemen were excellent. From the initial consultations until the completion of the project, communication between the System Pavers team and ourselves was very good. The project was completed ahead of schedule thanks to the installers willingness to work weekends and in the rain. More importantly the quality of the work was exceptional and we are delighted with the end result. We looked at several different companies prior to deciding on System Pavers and could have chosen cheaper quotes, but in the end we were very happy with our decision. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking to undertake a similar remodel."

"EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS! I had requested quotes for concrete sealing and filling. I had my driveway treated a few years ago after it was originally installed as stamped colored concrete. I wanted my driveway to be sealed & a different color. Another contractor sealed it a different color, but color was lifting after a few years. I had 4 contractors give me quotes to epoxy seal & gloss coat my driveway. I decided to go with Torres. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE! My driveway is GORGEOUS and guaranteed! Jay is professional and easy to work with. I'm a customer for life."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.

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.

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.

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.

The decision to repair or replace your driveway depends on the extent of the damage. If your driveway has a few small cracks, a simple repair will do the trick. If you see larger cracks and potholes, it may be time to consider resurfacing or replacement. Resurfacing is a great option if more than 25% of the surface is damaged, but if the damage is extensive—deep cracks or significant sinking—it’s best to replace the driveway entirely. A new driveway, with proper care, can last decades while patching or resurfacing might only hold up for a few years before needing more attention.
