"It went great. Eli was very helpful in making suggestions on what would work well for my yard. He and his team came in and did a great job in two days. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely have him back in the future. Eli was a pleasure to work with and understood what I was envisioning for my yard."

"We love our driveway! I have met with and worked with a lot of contractors. I can honestly say that their communication and quality was the best I’ve worked with in years. They were proactive and responded to questions and changes quickly. They were flexible but provided helpful guidance. They were incredibly kind and professional. In the end, the quality of work exactly what we wanted and they actually finished ahead of schedule. I’d recommend them to anyone and would love to work with them again myself."

"Pedro's crew and his experience gave us everything we requested, slope, drainage and finish. Out of 4 quotes he was best by hundreds of dollars, with a top job. From start to finish, it was 3 days as he quoted. Curing and fame removal and great clean up 7 days. It was a dream job for us. We love our new driveway."

Customers say: True professional

"Natural Vibrations has worked on 3 projects at our house: front landscaping and driveway replacement; kitchen remodel; and replace back (steep) hillside deck. In each case they did the design and construction. The results looked nice and were practical and high quality. Jobs were completed in a timely way, with no "mid-job breaks" to work somewhere else. We would definitely use them again."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

When asphalt cures, it typically changes from a very dark black hue to a lighter, more matte gray color. Cured asphalt also won’t be tacky or sticky to the touch or emit any odors from the asphalt mix. Additionally, the surface of fully cured asphalt won’t deform under any pressure.

Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.

This creates a risk for your driveway to fail after asphalt curing because it doesn't have a lasting bond with the surface. In order to get asphalt to perform as intended, it's necessary to prepare the dirt surface correctly first. The loose soil base under the new driveway must be compacted until it is stable enough to support the weight of the asphalt.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

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.
