"We had a steep multi-curved driveway, Sacramento Paving gave a fair bid, stuck to it and did exactly what they said they would do. One year later we are still very happy with the results. Sacramento paving checks in with us to keep the driveway maintained. I would recommend them for your paving needs."

"We found Federal Paving Systems and Jose Argueta through Angie's List. Jose was formerly with a different paving company in San Leandro, so some of his references were found there. Of the three bids we received, Federal was the best, so that, combined with excellent references here, gave Federal the job. Jose Argueta is the point man and Construction Manager for Federal. We have nothing but praise for his responsiveness and professionalism during this whole process. The job was completed over about four working days, and Jose was on site a good portion of the time directing the work of others, as well as cutting and laying pavers."

"These guys were great. Professional, knowledgeable, thorough. Fixed my leaking/broken sprinkler manifold system- really impressive and well thought out approach to fixing our issue and avoiding the problem from coming back anytime soon. Really glad I found them. Did great work- and took pride in the quality of their work. Will definitely hire them for additional projects."

"Very professional project proposal, design and references. Excellent value from a contractor that's well established in the local community. Project was completed and met all project milestones. On-site crew was very responsive to design changes, and applied best practices to improve on the prior concrete surface layout and design. I'm confident the resulting concrete driveway and walkways will serve us well for many years."

"EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS! I had requested quotes for concrete sealing and filling. I had my driveway treated a few years ago after it was originally installed as stamped colored concrete. I wanted my driveway to be sealed & a different color. Another contractor sealed it a different color, but color was lifting after a few years. I had 4 contractors give me quotes to epoxy seal & gloss coat my driveway. I decided to go with Torres. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE! My driveway is GORGEOUS and guaranteed! Jay is professional and easy to work with. I'm a customer for life."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Driveway aprons typically range between four and seven inches thick, though your town's building codes will likely have specific requirements. Additionally, you may need to add a layer of permeable aggregate in the excavation below your paved apron to ensure proper stormwater drainage.

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.

Sometimes, when people talk about asphalt driveways, they’re actually referring to asphalt concrete, which is a completely different compound. Asphalt concrete is asphaltic cement combined with sand or grit. It is significantly more lasting and durable than regular asphalt but also much more expensive. If you’re considering using asphalt concrete, ask an asphalt company for their expert opinions.

In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.

When comparing installation costs, asphalt is often less expensive upfront than concrete. Asphalt prices typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, while concrete can range from $3 to $18 per square foot. However, long-term costs should also be considered. Concrete driveways generally last longer (up to twice as long) and require less maintenance, which can make them more affordable over their lifespan. While asphalt has a lower installation cost and is easier to repair, it requires more frequent maintenance, such as sealing, which can add up over time. Therefore, while concrete is more expensive initially, its durability may offset the cost in the long run.
