"Hector and his crew performed wonderfully. Productive, efficient and professional work. When we were plagued with a malodorous and potentially explosive natural gas leak beneath our concrete patio Hector and his crew surgically removed a portion of the previously decorated concrete slab, exposing a rotted gas line. Once the piping repairs were done by our gas fitter, Hector and Co. returned and reassembled a jigsaw of 18 pieces of concrete, some weighing in excess of 200 pounds I would reckon, which they leveled and aligned with such a superior degree of accuracy and precision typically associated with the legendary craftsmanship of the Mayans or Egyptians of antiquity. We could not be happier."

"Excellent! Morning Star Concrete Construction, John and Chris, are top notch. This project started with demolition of a concrete driveway, digging a hugh foundation for an addition to a garage, removing about 26 yards of dirt, forming new addition, driveway and front entrance walkway. Pumped in 32 yards of concrete, colored and stamped a portion of the driveway and entrance sidewalk. Job completed on Friday by 2pm. Five days, start to finish! Workmanship is excellent. I highly recommend this company for your project."

"Everyone we dealt with at System Pavers was helpful, friendly, and very good at their jobs. The salesman suggested a different color pavers than we'd been thinking of for the driveway, and he was absolutely right! The crew doing the work did a great job. They really knew their stuff. We're very happy with the results."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.

Asphalt dries and cures best between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This range allows moisture to evaporate quickly without causing the asphalt to cool too fast, which can negatively affect the drying process. However, keep in mind that other weather conditions can also affect curing and drying times, such as precipitation and humidity.

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.

Driveway paving costs around $4,500 on average, but depending on many factors, you could pay anywhere from $2,500 to $6,600 or more. The size of your driveway will usually be the most significant factor, with more square footage increasing your costs. You can expect to pay between $2 and $15 per square foot for paving services. Some other factors that play a role include the following:

  • Quality of the materials

  • Contractor’s experience and expertise

  • Site preparation and grading, if necessary

  • Layout of your driveway

Asphalt is made of aggregate materials (sand, rocks, and gravel) and bitumen, a viscous, petroleum-based, waterproof substance. These materials are mixed together at extremely high temperatures to form asphalt.
