Do I need a permit to repave my driveway?

• <div><p>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 <b>$50 and $300</b> 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.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain commercial asphalt?

• <div><p>Regular sealing, crack filling, and professional inspections help extend pavement lifespan and prevent costly repairs.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required for new asphalt?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, sealing, and timely repair of cracks help maintain its condition.</p></div>

Q: Is asphalt the same as tarmac?

• <div><p>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&mdash;a byproduct of crude oil&mdash;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 &ldquo;tarmac&rdquo; are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder&mdash;tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.</p></div>

Q: What is the minimum angle for a driveway?

• <div><p>Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope&mdash;anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway&rsquo;s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.</p></div>

Malakai completed the job and I now have cement in my driveway, but, in my opinion, it looks like very amateur work. I asked for a clear side walk and a driveway entrance (between the street and the new sidewalk) and he poured one slab. He did not tie into existing driveway as requested. He did...

Their prices were reasonable. They had to cut into the asphalt to find the roots. They had to cut the trees in the proper place so as to not kill the trees. The only tree they did not take care of had a wasp nest in it. That is why I would give them all B's. I feel they should have been able to...
