Q: Is asphalt a type of concrete?

• <div><p>Asphalt is not a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-concrete.htm">type of concrete</a>. While both are a common type of pavement, asphalt is composed of aggregates (like sand and gravel) and bitumen; concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, and water. Here are some of the key <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-asphalt-vs-concrete-driveway.htm">differences between asphalt and concrete driveways</a>.</p></div>

Q: How do you build a road on a slope?

• <div><p>Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn&rsquo;t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.</p></div>

Q: Is a 20% slope too steep for a driveway?

• <div><p>While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you&rsquo;re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace a new driveway?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-pave-driveway.htm">cost to replace a driveway</a> ranges from <b>$8 to $15 per square foot</b>, depending on factors that include material, size, and labor. If your driveway has deep cracks, potholes, or drainage issues (or if it&rsquo;s simply past its prime), replacement might be the smarter investment over constant repairs. Resurfacing <i>can </i>be a cheaper alternative at $3 to $20 per square foot, but it won&rsquo;t fix your driveway&rsquo;s underlying problems.</p></div>

Q: Should I winterize a newly installed driveway?

• <div><p>You should contact your driveway installer before winterizing a newly installed driveway. Winterizing it before the asphalt or concrete has fully cured can damage the driveway. But in many cases, you don't need to winterize a newly installed driveway anyway since it's likely freshly sealed and won't have much damage yet. </p></div>

They guaranteed that we would not have any water/ice in the driveway and the slab they poured and finished. Well, that did not happen, along with asking for more money.
