"Project went very well. Mario and his crew worked long hours for 3+ days (rained one day) to get the project completed. Couldn't be happier with the wall they built and the clean-up effort they did when finished."

"My Contractor (Jovon) came promptly to access the work I had in mind. I received a Fair Quote and a Tentative Start Date the same day ! My old Driveway was Torn out, Hauled away, Framed, and Poured the same Day! Care was taken for my property, total cleanup after Tear Down, and Driveway sealed. I had continuous contact with Jovon thru the whole process!"

"Brian was great to work with and was always respectful. It was a big project and issues did come up. I think Brian handled them in stride and always took care of our concerns. If I had one concern, our lawn got chewed up. I guess itâ s the nature of the work. But we will have some work to do post project. I would recommend him for your driveway and walkway projects."

Asphalt Driveways FAQs, answered by experts

Asphalt is not a type of concrete. While both are a common type of pavement, asphalt is composed of aggregates (like sand and gravel) and bitumen; concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, and water. Here are some of the key differences between asphalt and concrete driveways.

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’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.

An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.

Instead of a set number of types, asphalt comes in variations designed for different needs. Some are categorized by temperature—hot mix, warm mix, and cold mix. Others are sorted by composition, like dense-graded, gap-graded (such as Stone Matrix Asphalt), porous, and mastic asphalt. There are also modified versions with added compounds like polymers, rubber, or emulsions. Instead of focusing on a number, it may be more useful to understand how contractors customize asphalt for durability, climate, and traffic conditions.

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.
