Q: What are the three main types of asphalt?

• <div><p>The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt. Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it&rsquo;s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.</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: Can I fill potholes in my driveway with mulch?

• <div><p>Mulch is best used in garden beds and yards, not in your driveway as pothole filler. It is meant to stimulate plant growth. Upon repeated pressure, it turns into compost, which also serves as fertilizer for weeds to take over. The roots will then break into your driveway, leading to more material loss and structural collapses. </p></div>

Q: How can I increase the lifespan of my driveway?

• <div><p>The best ways to increase the lifespan of your driveway are to carry out proper maintenance and get repairs done quickly. First, reseal your driveway every one to three years to protect it from the elements. If you start to notice significant cracks, hire a professional to diagnose the problem before it gets more serious. You can also use sand instead of salt when de-icing your driveway (since salt is corrosive) and clean your driveway annually using a pressure washer to keep it in tip-top shape. </p></div>

They did an excellent job. Had to have a couple things repaired that was caught in the home inspection. The job was quick. The cost could always be cheaper but I was only charged a service call.

Called for a quote. They didn't show up at the original date/time. They were in the driveway (w/o calling prior) over lunch one day. I let them in, and showed them all the work that needed to be done. They said they would be back that evening with a quote, and they never showed up again.

What really sold me on this shop was the courtesy I was given by the employee's. I did not talk to the repair man until the next day. What blew me away that they did not charge for the service. I will take the machine back if I have any problems. I will also delight in shopping at this store.
