How long should I wait to walk or drive on the repaired area?

• <div><p>If you used regular jointing sand, you can typically walk on the repaired area right away. If you used polymeric sand, wait at least <b>24 hours</b> before walking on it and <b>48 to 72 hours</b> before driving over it, depending on the weather. Polymeric sand needs time to fully cure and lock the pavers in place.</p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest driveway repair option?

• <div><p>Filling small cracks in your driveway with patching material is usually the most affordable fix, costing about $2 to $3 per square foot. For larger damage, however, these repairs won&rsquo;t last, so it&rsquo;ll save you more to resurface or replace the driveway, depending on the extent of the issues. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take for asphalt to dry?

• <div><p>On average, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-curing-time.htm">asphalt dries within 24 to 72 hours</a>, meaning it&rsquo;s solid enough for light traffic&mdash;walking and careful driving. Full curing&mdash;when asphalt reaches peak strength&mdash;can take anywhere from three months to a year. During that time, heavy loads and sharp objects can leave marks. Weather, asphalt mix, and thickness all affect how quickly it dries and cures. If you want your asphalt to last, treat it gently until it&rsquo;s fully cured. For the best results, check with a professional asphalt contractor for their advice.</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: What are the signs that my asphalt driveway needs repair?

• <div><p>If your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-repair-should-you-patch-resurface-or-replace.htm">asphalt driveway shows cracks, potholes, or standing water</a>, it&rsquo;s likely time for a repair. Cracks, big or small, let water seep in, weakening the base and causing further damage. Potholes are a sign of this weakening process in action while standing water suggests your driveway has poor drainage, which can cause even more issues. You may also see warping or buckling&mdash;a sign of a compromised base layer&mdash;or sinking pavement. Spotting these signs early on can help you save yourself a bigger repair bill in the future. </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.

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.

"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "
