"I hired Isaac to redo a previous job by another company that was left unfinished and a big mess. He was very knowledgeable about what to do with my driveway and he and his employees were polite, professional and extremely hard working. He wanted to make sure everything was done right and I appreciated that. I felt his prices were very fair and I am so happy with my new driveway it is such a relief to finally have the driveway I wanted. I would recommend Issac to anyone that wants a dependable company that does excellent work."

""Tri" and his crew were on time and finished the project when expected. We just had a concrete pad poured on the side of the house. We did the excavating and framing. The job site was cleaned up afterwards. Very pleased with the outcome and value. We would recommend his crew to others."

"We recently hired System Pavers to remodel our driveway and entranceway. We worked with Ron Willis as our Design Consultant and Adrian O'Donoghue as our Project Manager. Both gentlemen were excellent. From the initial consultations until the completion of the project, communication between the System Pavers team and ourselves was very good. The project was completed ahead of schedule thanks to the installers willingness to work weekends and in the rain. More importantly the quality of the work was exceptional and we are delighted with the end result. We looked at several different companies prior to deciding on System Pavers and could have chosen cheaper quotes, but in the end we were very happy with our decision. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking to undertake a similar remodel."

"We started working with the Torres Team in 2019 when they bid for our first asphalt paving project for our 1000 sq ft driveway that required extensive prepping. We decided to work with them and have been extremely satisfied with their workmanship and expertise. They contact us regularly to keep our driveway in tip top shape. I recommend them for any of your paving projects. Ruben and Alicia Rangel Lafayette"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Yes, a paved or repaved driveway can boost your home's value by increasing its curb appeal and the functionality of your outdoor space. A new driveway can add anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 to a property's value. An old, crumbling driveway can be a red flag for potential buyers and inspectors.

The amount of value added depends on the materials used, the design, and local market conditions. Concrete is often cited as adding the most value due to its long lifespan, though asphalt may be more desirable in colder climates. The return on investment is greatest when replacing a driveway that is in poor condition; repaving a driveway that is already in good shape will not yield as significant an increase in value.

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.

A solid driveway starts with the right asphalt mix, and for most homes, dense-graded hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the most recommended. It’s both durable and flexible, making it a reliable choice for residential use. A properly compacted 2-3 inch layer on a well-prepared crushed stone base will hold up for years. In areas with harsh winters or scorching summers, a slightly modified mix can help prevent cracking and rutting. No matter the climate, quality installation is just as important as the material itself, so hiring an experienced contractor ensures a smooth, long-lasting driveway built to last.

If you’re looking for a similar, eco-friendly driveway material, you might consider one of these options:

  • Permeable pavement: This material is sometimes called “pervious” or “porous” pavement; it allows stormwater to drain into the subbase, eliminating storm drain costs. 

  • Gravel: Consider paving your driveway with locally sourced gravel. By sourcing from a nearby source, your money won’t fund international shipping and will be invested back into your local community.

  • Natural stone pavers: Because natural stone pavers are made from organically-produced stone, there’s no new manufacturing required, limiting the environmental impact. In addition, water easily flows and drains through the gaps in the pavers.
