"As a finicky customer, I am not easily impressed--but Isaiah and his crew at Superior Grading and Paving exceeded my expectations. Isaiah's fastidious approach to paving my long winding driveway. From start to finish, the crew was professional, detail-oriented, and friendly. *He also had the best heavy machinery which allowed the job to progress smoothly and efficiently. Isaiah took the time to ensure every inch was properly prepped and bonded. Large oak tree roots were removed which had lifted my former driveway in various places ensuring my driveway would be smooth and flat for years to come. My new driveway adds value and enhances the curb appeal of my home! I'm so thrilled I chose Superior Grading and Paving!!"

"Jeff was very responsive, we called one evening and he was there at 8 AM the next morning for a free estimate. We had a lot of questions about the process and he had responses that were right for us. We asked for and got references and called them and also went to see one of the driveways that he had completed previously. Our driveway is on a steep hill in the forest and is about 2/10th of a mile long. It had a lot of cracks that needed filled and a lot of moss that needed to be scrubbed off by hand. Plus we wanted an entire new top coat so it was not an easy job. The entire team was prompt and professional and did a great job. They completed the job in one day and in the end we have a driveway that looks brand new. I am sure we will call Jeff again in a few years if it needs to have a new top coat."

"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."

"Enriquez and his crew actually went above and beyond the original scope of work. Although he decided to replace more of the sidewalk concrete than quoted, he held the original price. Quality of the finishing was excellent as was the communication. Many positive comments from neighbors. I'd hire them in a wink if I needed more work."

"This was basically a demolition project. I had to have a 75 year old concrete circular retaining wall buried in the center of my asphalt driveway that had to be removed so that we could plant an oak tree. The wall was approximately 25 feet in circumference, 4 feet high and the concrete at least 3 inches thick. The bottom foot and half of the wall was covered with earth that had to be dug out by hand. Jose accomplished this extremely difficult job in a day and a half working right along side his helpers. He was able break up and haul away the concrete and did a great job cleaning up the site. He is courteous, professional and his rates are extremely fair. I would definitely recommend him for any job."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It’s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting. 

Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs.

Overall, a paver driveway is considered the easiest to maintain because homeowners are able to do driveway repair one piece at a time without impacting the rest of the driveway. Unlike paved options, paver driveways contain individual stones that aren't physically connected. By comparison, you may need to reseal or redo a full asphalt driveway if just one portion sustains a significant crack.

Your city or county will have guidelines about the minimum and maximum width and length of private roads. The average private road is 12 feet wide, and length, of course, depends on your property. Requirements also depend on the amount of traffic and types of vehicles your road experiences. Check with local ordinances before planning a road on your property.

Recycled asphalt is not better than gravel, but can be a good alternative. It is inexpensive, but not as low-cost as gravel, and doesn’t tend to last as long. Recycled asphalt isn’t as dusty as gravel and is more environmentally friendly. The black look can be something that homeowners prefer. No matter what, ensure you choose an experienced recycled asphalt contractor.
