"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 and his team removed my old damaged driveway and replaced it with a beautiful new driveway in a day and a half. They were very professional and very easy to work with. Chris, made sure I understood the process along the way and even was able to start ahead of time. So grateful that I found him to do this project! His work is absolutely perfection! I will definitely refer him to anyone that has concrete needs."

Customers say: Quick response

"Mitch and crew are top notch. Right from the very first contact which was on a holiday, Mitch called me within minutes of my request. Mitch said he would call me back in thirty minutes. He did exactly that. Said he would be here in 15 minutes (on a holiday) he did exactly that. Gave me a reasonable price for 6000 sq/ft driveway and to my inexperienced ear was very knowledgeable about his business. They were booked out about three weeks, over the course of which he called and texted me several times to keep me updated on the schedule. Ended up being a week early. On site, they were meticulous in site prep and finishing touches. There was a mistake by their supplier in some of the base they ordered and had to wait a bit to get the right stuff. They could have just used it and I would have never known the difference. Which to me, is a pretty good testimony of this company's honesty. Homeadvisor only allows five stars, these guys deserve six. Only one other Pro recommended by Homeadvisor called me. He didn't do what he said he was going to do. Wanted me to email him the info Mitch had come out here to get himself with the quote blacked out. The others only emailed me and didn't bother to call. Done a lot of business over the years. This is the first time in maybe 30 years everything I was told happened according to plan or better."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.

Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.

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

When comparing installation costs, asphalt is often less expensive upfront than concrete. Asphalt prices typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, while concrete can range from $3 to $18 per square foot. However, long-term costs should also be considered. Concrete driveways generally last longer (up to twice as long) and require less maintenance, which can make them more affordable over their lifespan. While asphalt has a lower installation cost and is easier to repair, it requires more frequent maintenance, such as sealing, which can add up over time. Therefore, while concrete is more expensive initially, its durability may offset the cost in the long run.
