"They did beautiful professional work. The pavers are well positioned to create a pleasing pattern, and the spacing could not be more exact. The foundation is so solid that I can walk on the pavers and feel no movement whatsoever beneath my steps. I am so very pleased with the way it came out. I will definitely have the company come back to do more work in the future."

"Alejandro and Ignacio made our dream backyard and front yard happen! They were incredible to work with – very professional, timely, friendly, and gave high-quality service. They kept us informed of the progress at all times and we are in love with the outcome! We continue to receive many compliments about our front yard and backyard and we have several neighbors interested in considering them for their projects. Consider AGS Landscaping for your project – we had an excellent experience and we are extremely pleased with the work. We're are going to continue to have them maintain our yard on a monthly basis with the Saturday lawn care service they offer. It's a pleasure writing this review and we highly recommend Alejandro and Ignacio! Thank you. --- Project Details --- Our front yard and backyard were a sight for sore eyes (AKA a hot mess.) We had dead grass, weeds growing everywhere, uneven surfaces, broken rotting fences, and more. Alejandro and Ignacio built a new backyard redwood fence with triple lattice, a beautiful modern Melville retaining wall with irrigation, slate finish patio, modern concrete slabs in the backyard with drainage and irrigation, front yard landscaping, front yard fence, expanded concrete in our driveway, added modern gravel to the front and backyard, as well as, fresh black mulch. After submitting our project to Angi's list, they reached out to us within the day and provided a quote within the week. They were patient and flexible with us with all of our questions and would come out to visit our project site several times as we made changes to increase the scope of the project before we finalized the plan. The project took about a month and they stayed on track with the schedule. Alejandro and Ignacio understood our vision, gave great ideas to add to the plan, and were helpful in calling out any trade-offs. They were onsite daily, easy to each and very open to questions, and providing recommendations."

They finished the work in a timely manner and now after almost 1 year I'm still as pleased with the result. They were efficient and did very little disruption to surrounding area, I would definitely recommend Top Grade Paving to my friends.”"

"I was very impressed with the quality work done on my residential property. They did a second driveway on the side of my house and it is exactly what I wanted. Very clean job. The owner even sprayed all the weeds I had before doing the job because he knew I was concerned about weeds. Now I have weed killer and asphalt. I wont get any weeds. The owner managed the job also and answered all our questions."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.

New asphalt goes through two stages: drying and curing. Drying typically takes 24 to 72 hours, after which the surface is solid enough for light use like walking or careful driving. While you may be able to park on it after 72 hours, the surface is still soft and should be treated gently. Full curing is a much longer process, taking anywhere from 30 days to a full year for the asphalt to reach maximum strength. During this extended curing period, the asphalt is susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles, sharp objects, and high temperatures. Factors like weather, the specific asphalt mix, and application thickness all influence drying and curing times. For the most accurate timeline and to ensure the longevity of your new asphalt, it is always best to consult with your installation contractor for their specific recommendations.

The choice between asphalt and concrete depends on your priorities, budget, and climate.

Concrete is generally more durable, lasting up to 50 years with minimal upkeep, and offers more customization options like staining and stamping, which can add more to a home's value. However, it is more expensive upfront and can be prone to cracking in cold climates where water can freeze and expand.

Asphalt is typically cheaper and quicker to install and is easier to repair. It performs better in colder climates. However, it requires more maintenance, including regular resealing, has a shorter lifespan, and can get hot and sticky in intense sunlight.

Ultimately, if durability and long-term value are key, concrete is often the better choice. If upfront cost and performance in cold weather are more important, asphalt may be preferable.

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. 

Since it has a smoother surface using a mixture of finer rock and sand, 41A tends to be the best asphalt grade for a driveway, especially for residential driveways. Other options are available, but more homeowners choose 41A for a smoother asphalt driveway. Talk with your asphalt driveway professional for recommendations of the best grade for your specific driveway.
