They were incredibly fast and efficient, and the result was a beautiful driveway that exceeded my expectations. Their pricing was also very reasonable and fit perfectly within my budget. I appreciated how they were able to accommodate my schedule and start the work as soon as possible. They also made sure to clean up thoroughly after completing the job. Overall, I would highly recommend Sealcoat Masters for anyone in need of driveway replacement services. Thank you for a job well done!"

"As a property manager I’m always looking to add local small business guys to my address book. There’s times when I need to get something done quickly and smoothly. I got the information for Presco Asphalt Services from a buddy of mine and I gave them a call. Mario was able to come out that same day to look at one of my apartment buildings parking lots. He went over different options that would work for what I needed. We decided on doing pothole patching for that particular job to make the parking lot nice and level and discussed doing some asphalt patches and sealcoating in the for a different lot. His team was able to come out the next day and take care of business. They were very efficient and thorough. My maintenance guy was very impressed on how they worked he said they worked quickly and made sure everything was picked up and sectioned off and did a walk through with him afterwards. I will definitely have them come out for more projects in the future. Mario is your go to guy!"

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

There’s no single best asphalt grade—it all comes down to where and how it’s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional’s input is always a smart move before making a decision.

To adhere pavers to concrete, you can use either mortar or a concrete-specific adhesive. For border pavers, a polyurethane-based adhesive is a good choice as it expands and contracts with temperature changes, keeping them firmly in place. For the non-border pavers, polymeric sand is used between the joints to prevent shifting. In most cases, it is also recommended to lay a permeable sand layer below the pavers to ensure proper stability and drainage. Before starting, always take the proper preparatory steps for a professional result.

Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope—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’s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.

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.

The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your driveway ideas. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.
