"If we could give 10 stars we would. We needed to have an old driveway demolished and new pavement laid. We found George's Asphalt online through a vetting type of service when we were doing some research online about having a quality driveway put in. George's Asphalt came out and gave us their bid, so professionally. We hired them and they said job would take 3 days and they finished by noon on the 3rd day. The team works so well together and is so efficient. Our neighbors were so impressed that while they were working they asked for bids as well. If you are looking for an HONEST, RELIABLE, DEPENDABLE company for your asphalt needs, they also do concrete too, call George's Asphalt Paving. You won't be sorry and you will get top notch service and quality for a beautiful driveway or whatever your asphalt needs might be."

"Jesus and his team did an excellent job on the concrete pad on the side of the house. They also did some landscaping for my back yard. They do quality work, are on time, and reasonably priced. I will use them again and I highly recommend them."

Driveway Sealcoating FAQs, answered by experts

By using quality sealants and ensuring precise alignment during installation.

To extend the lifespan of an asphalt surface, sealcoat it every 2-3 years, repair cracks promptly, and clean it regularly to remove debris.

New asphalt typically needs 24 to 72 hours to dry before it can handle light foot traffic and careful driving. Although it may appear solid after a few days, the full curing process, where the asphalt reaches its peak strength, takes much longer—generally from 30 days to a year.

During this extended curing time, the surface remains relatively soft and can be damaged by heavy vehicles, sharp objects, or high temperatures. To protect your investment, it's best to avoid parking heavy machinery on the asphalt until it has fully cured.

The exact time required for drying and curing depends on several factors, including the weather, the specific asphalt mix, and its thickness. For the most accurate advice tailored to your situation, consult with your asphalt contractor.

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.

You shouldn’t directly paint over an oil stain on your asphalt driveway. While painting over might visually conceal the stain, the oil will continue to damage the driveway. Once you’ve noticed the oil stain, it’s important to thoroughly remove it within the next few months since oil stains only take six months before they begin to damage the structure of your asphalt driveway.
