"Randy and his team were excellent. I researched and received quotes from several companies and Taylor Made was the choice. Randy communicated with me through every step and was very professional. Our driveway came out gorgeous and we love it. Taylor Made does great work and the job was completed in the same day. Our neighbors loved the way our driveway came out, the hired Taylor Made and had a new driveway installed. Look nowhere else, hire Taylor Made Paving!!!!"

"Joe did an excellent job replacing my driveway with beautiful eye catching pavers. It was done efficiently, clean, with attention to detail. His price was very reasonable and his workers worked cleanly. This was better than concrete and more attractive. Joe wasted no time. I highly recommend this company to anyone seeking to replace an existing driveway. The results are amazing!"

"Chris, the owner of this company, and his crew did a top notch job. We had a severely buckled driveway because of tree roots. They removed the old concrete and disposed of the tree roots. The finished product was as promised and they were on time, courteous and professional. I can't recommend them strongly enough if you are in need of concrete work."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can retrofit an existing driveway, but this usually involves cutting grooves into the driveway, installing the heating elements, then sealing them. While this is much less expensive than typical heated driveway systems, the final appearance could be diminished. Speak with a driveway paving company to confirm which design method is best for you.

Even with regular maintenance, most driveways don’t last much longer than 30 years. Alligator cracking is a clear warning sign that your driveway’s foundation is failing, and cracks that are deep and wide can let water in, causing more damage. Standing water is another red flag. If your driveway doesn’t drain properly, it’s going to degrade slowly. Finally, if you’re seeing dips or uneven patches, that’s a sign the base layer or soil is shifting. If these issues pop up, it’s time to replace your driveway.

Recycled asphalt is not better than gravel, but can be a good alternative. It is inexpensive, but not as low-cost as gravel, and doesn’t tend to last as long. Recycled asphalt isn’t as dusty as gravel and is more environmentally friendly. The black look can be something that homeowners prefer. No matter what, ensure you choose an experienced recycled asphalt contractor. 

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 material that’s best for your private road depends on your property, the climate in your area, and your personal preferences. Gravel is an affordable option, but some homeowners don’t like how it looks. It can be a pain to remove snow from, and it requires more ongoing maintenance than asphalt or concrete. However, while these other options require less maintenance and make snow removal a breeze, they’re more expensive and will need repairs from time to time. Ultimately, you’ll have to choose the road material that suits you and your property best.
