"I saw on my camera that they showed up to do my driveway. It looked like they were having some issues with machine. Krayden came on the 12th to get his check, but we expressed our concerns to him about some rocks showing on the asphalt. He said if there were concerns that he would come out and fix it. In April we saw that we had a bunch of weeds pop up through the asphalt quite significantly. We called him to let him know and it took some time to send someone out to pour weed killer in holes and spray black on top of that. Well we started having more weeds pop up through the asphalt and I called and he did not respond. I texted him to let him know that there were more weed spots and that he would come out and take a look and never did. I can't get him to respond. I also have rocks that are randomly popping out of the asphalt and the side of the asphalt is breaking away in sections. Like it is just melting away. I know he did paperwork and I don't have any copies of an official document like a contract. It is possible that he should have that on his end as to where they should keep paperwork on their jobs."

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.
A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.
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.
Depending on project size, typically 1 to 3 days, including preparation and installation.
Gravel is one of the few driveway materials that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at $1 to $3 per square foot, and can also last upward of 100 years.
