"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!!"

These guys had great ideas! Iâ m extremely happy with the outcome and will be using them for all my landscaping needs!"

"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

If you notice minor cosmetic problems with your driveway, you should seal it. Look out for cracks and holes on the surface, faded asphalt or concrete, and stains from oil and other chemicals. Replacing your driveway may be necessary if you’re dealing with significant problems—¼-inch cracks, large potholes, and puddles from drainage issues. The cost to install an asphalt driveway typically ranges between $4,200 and $9,000, significantly more than resealing. Consider talking to a professional to discuss whether resurfacing your driveway—a midway project between resealing and replacing—is a better option for you.

Asphalt is not a type of concrete. While both are a common type of pavement, asphalt is composed of aggregates (like sand and gravel) and bitumen; concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, and water. Here are some of the key differences between asphalt and concrete driveways.

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. 

You should not attempt to install your own driveway. Whether working with asphalt or pavement, this is a complicated project that requires special equipment. Talk to some nearby asphalt or paving professionals and discuss your particular needs—it’s a good idea to get a few quotes and look at the company’s past work.

Many asphalt companies have experience with tar and chip paving, but not all. The process is unique enough—and not incredibly common enough—that you may have to look around for a tar and chip specialist. However, speaking with a driveway company is a great place to start, especially if they have experience with multiple materials.
