"We are extremely pleased with the quality of the work and professionalism of the owner. He helped us think through various options and determine the best plan for our situation. He understood the requirements of the Long Beach lawn-to-garden program and ensured we were compliant with the rules. His crew is incredibly hard working and efficient. Our neighbors who are home during the day would regularly comment about how hard-working the crew was. Since the job has been finished, we have been getting non-stop compliments. The owner clearly takes an immense amount of pride in his work, and he was consistently helpful in guiding us through the project. Even as we changed our minds on some plants and design choices, he quickly took care of business and made the adjustments. We plan to hire him again for future upgrades to the backyard."

"Mike is great on response to initial inquiry. His work is excellent. However, he is a little lax on scheduling and further communication. After he quoted the job, he never initiated any conversations. I had to call him several times to start the work. Finally, he responded with "we will be there tomorrow". They showed up and did the demo, then I had to call Mike again when they did not show up for a couple of days. He said they had to wait for concrete delivery (by the way, I never saw Mike himself again. He never came to check customer satisfaction and sent someone to pick up the last payment). He said in the beginning that we would be without our driveway for a week, allowing for drying time. It turned out to be 2 weeks."

"Fernando and his crew were on time, polite and professional. He kept me informed on project and cleaned up after project was done. The backyard sod and sprinkler system look great he followed up to check how grass was doing. I would recommend and hire Fernando@Rainbow landscaping again."

"Our driveway was resurfaced with asphalt paving after years of patchwork repairs. Ken and his crew milled the old surface, compacted the base, and laid a fresh layer with clean edging. They even adjusted the slope to direct water away from the garage. The difference is clear in appearance and durability. It's a new property entrance."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Victor's crew were punctual, thorough and hardworking. Everyone was pleasant. They cleaned up after themselves. I'm very pleased with the guidance I got from Victor regarding my entryway and path. They also replaced my unsightly driveway with the same efficiency. I highly recommend this company."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you have worker’s compensation?

  • Do you use subcontractors on your projects?

  • Do you clean up after the job is done?

  • Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Do you give free estimates?

  • What is the timeline for completion?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three references?

  • Can I see some of the work you’ve done?

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.

Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.

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.
