"I hired CJ and crew to fix a botched driveway job left unfinished by a previous contractor. The prior contractor created an area where water pooled near the back door, the exact problem I was trying to fix with the new driveway. CJ made at least half a dozen visits to my home throughout the process to be sure everything was done thoroughly and to be sure we were on the same page. The job also included a kitchen stoop which joined up to the driveway. CJ suggested enlarging the platform and adding steps on two sides instead of just one. It looks terrific, and I longer worry about falling off my steps. The crew worked really hard and were there for about 3 days. They were very pleasant and professional. Although there was a delay due to a shortage of concrete, CJ kept in touch with me and there were no surprises--except the fantastic job they did!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Since it has a smoother surface using a mixture of finer rock and sand, 41A tends to be the best asphalt grade for a driveway, especially for residential driveways. Other options are available, but more homeowners choose 41A for a smoother asphalt driveway. Talk with your asphalt driveway professional for recommendations of the best grade for your specific driveway.

In terms of durability, concrete driveways can last more than 50 years when properly maintained, compared to the typical 30 years for an asphalt driveway. However, the durability depends on the climate, base material and thickness, and thickness of the concrete or asphalt used. The longevity of concrete or asphalt driveways also depends on how well it’s maintained and the amount of wear and tear it endures.

With proper maintenance, asphalt milling driveways can last 30 years or more. Over time, you’ll need to regularly sealcoat your driveway. You should also have your driveway inspected every few years and make any repairs as soon as they are necessary; this will prolong the lifespan of your driveway.

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’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.

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.
