"Henry does a great job sealing our driveway! We’ve used him several times over the years and have always been happy with his work. He’s dependable, does quality work, and is easy to work with. It’s nice having someone you can trust and call back whenever the driveway needs to be done. Would definitely recommend to anyone!!"

"Victor with Zuniga Landscaping was wonderful! I had a large job that needed taking care of on an acre of land that had been neglected by my previous lawn care person. He traveled quite a ways to quote me the job after much text communication the same day I put in my request for service. His quote was VERY reasonable and affordable for the work that needed to be done. He then returned within two days and worked several hours well into the dark of night to complete this work on the tight schedule I needed. Victor has a language barrier with speaking English, but explained to me that he uses a translation app to communicate. And the language barrier did not prevent him from communicating very promptly and courteously to every single text communication. In fact, his communication was far more attentive than anyone I have ever hired who speaks English as a first language. Additionally, the work that Victor did to complete an extensive project was REMARKABLE. Victor is simply AMAZING!! A++"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Gravel is the cheapest way to extend a driveway. Gravel is an affordable, practical option that’s easy to install and perfect for DIY projects, helping you save on labor costs. It can be quickly spread and leveled to create extra driveway space without heavy preparation. While gravel doesn’t offer the same durability or finished look as concrete or asphalt, its low cost makes it ideal for budget-conscious homeowners who want a functional solution without overspending.

New asphalt goes through two stages: drying and curing. Drying typically takes 24 to 72 hours, after which the surface is solid enough for light use like walking or careful driving. While you may be able to park on it after 72 hours, the surface is still soft and should be treated gently. Full curing is a much longer process, taking anywhere from 30 days to a full year for the asphalt to reach maximum strength. During this extended curing period, the asphalt is susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles, sharp objects, and high temperatures. Factors like weather, the specific asphalt mix, and application thickness all influence drying and curing times. For the most accurate timeline and to ensure the longevity of your new asphalt, it is always best to consult with your installation contractor for their specific recommendations.

Several materials are suitable for steep driveways. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable options that provide good traction. Permeable pavers—such as plastic, rubber, or concrete—filled with gravel or crushed stones are also excellent, as they allow water to drain without causing erosion and perform well in ice and snow. Another option is resin, which can be coated with an anti-slip finish and helps prevent puddles. For added stability, you can install a retaining wall to prevent pavers and gravel from shifting over time.

The driveway apron is a technical term referring to where a private driveway meets the public street. If there is a sidewalk in front of the house, the driveway apron is typically on the opposite side of the public sidewalk from the driveway itself.

Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.
