"Very quick response from Alex with onsite estimate for demo/replacement of driveway. Crew showed up the next day @ 0800 hrs & worked in concert to provide me with a beautiful driveway. Kudos for fast, efficient, quality work."
An Asphalt Overlay(Repaving a 2.5 inch layer over existing driveway) is a very efficient and durable solution when done the proper way.
First off we start the preparations by removing the asphalt sections near garage and sidewalks to have a flush finish on completion.
We also remove the grass and dirt in the desired extension area. Once that is done the crushed stone is added.
After the entire driveway is Edged and Clean, we are almost ready to Pave!
Last but not least a pre-fill layer of asphalt is poured on any low or damaged areas to prevent any problems in the future.

"Alex, arranged the work to be done quickly and the cement work was done 5 star. I had almost 200 feet of sidewalk, 2 driveway aprons, driveway and gravel driveway. The concrete was done wonderfully. Initially the filled the sides with top soil but did not tamp. I have ankle turning trench along the sides of the sidewalk. They did not fill more stone when the took the forms out. I have gaps all long the edge of the gravel driveway, which they were paid to fill. They used my hose without permission, then did not put it on the hose reel, left it in the mud. They used my neighbors hose and water without permission. At the end of my driveway at my gate entrance they put topsoil. I had flagstones down. Instead of picking up the flagstones, they threw topsoil on top of them. Again excellent for their concrete work, but insist the tamp down the dirt where the concrete wood forms are located and inspect every inch of their finish work, which is what I should have done. Just beware of their slo"

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.

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.

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.

Regular sealing, crack filling, and professional inspections help extend pavement lifespan and prevent costly repairs.

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.
