Get matched with top asphalt driveway pros in Emmett, ID

Q: How fast does a milled asphalt driveway set?

• <div><p>Your driveway contractor will probably recommend that you avoid driving on your new millings driveway for up to a week. Keeping pressure off the freshy applied millings will help the driveway to bind together. While the sun is helpful for binding millings, hotter weather can actually make the curing process take longer.</p></div>

Q: How thick should a driveway apron be?

• <div><p>Driveway aprons typically range between four and seven inches thick, though your town's building codes will likely have specific requirements. Additionally, you may need to add a layer of permeable aggregate in the excavation below your paved apron to ensure proper stormwater drainage. </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>

Q: Can you pave over a cracked asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>If your driveway is cracked, you can repave it with a process called asphalt overlay. Overlay is more cost-effective than a full replacement but is better suited for minor cracks and issues. If you have major cracks or other problems like water pooling, asphalt overlay isn&rsquo;t your best bet. Plus, paving over a cracked driveway only extends the lifetime by about 10 years, whereas replacing it would start the clock over completely to give you up to 30 years.</p></div>

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>

Hired them for a small driveway addition because their estimate was lowest and the job was simple. After weeks of delays and excuses (rain, unable to schedule concrete delivery, etc.) they simply stopped responding to my messages. So I hired someone else.
