"It worked out very well to choose Pedro and Barrera construction for the replacement of my driveway. I met with about six different companies and got a very competitive estimate from Barrera. Other estimates were up to two times higher! Pedro was very responsive by text during the contract arrangement. The crew showed up on time on the scheduled date. As Pedro had promised, they had all the equipment that they needed to demolish and haul away my old asphalt and concrete driveway. Pedro himself was usually on site and even when he was not, the crew seemed to know exactly what to do and go about it in industrious fashion. After one day, the old driveway was gone and most of the forms for the new one were built with the gravel base in place. On day two, the forms were finished, concrete was poured with reinforcing wire mesh and after a couple hours, the forms were removed to complete the job. Over the next few days, I got a lot of positive comments about the new driveway from passersby and I was happy to recommend Barrera construction to a few people who asked specifically what company had done the job. My new driveway is a huge improvement and I'm grateful that working with Barrera was such a good experience."

"I’m obsessed with the new driveway! Our old driveway was run down and just needed to be replaced. It compliments our home very well and makes it look as if it wasn’t built over 100 years ago."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It’s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting. 

Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.

Whether you should resurface or replace your asphalt driveway heavily depends on its condition. If the foundation is solid and the damage is minor, resurfacing is your best bet because it’s more affordable and faster than replacing the driveway. But if your driveway has foundational problems and/or severe damage, like large, deep cracks and potholes, then it makes more sense to replace it. 

The decision to repair or replace your driveway depends on the extent of the damage. If your driveway has a few small cracks, a simple repair will do the trick. If you see larger cracks and potholes, it may be time to consider resurfacing or replacement. Resurfacing is a great option if more than 25% of the surface is damaged, but if the damage is extensive—deep cracks or significant sinking—it’s best to replace the driveway entirely. A new driveway, with proper care, can last decades while patching or resurfacing might only hold up for a few years before needing more attention.

New asphalt typically needs 24 to 72 hours to dry before it can handle light foot traffic and careful driving. Although it may appear solid after a few days, the full curing process, where the asphalt reaches its peak strength, takes much longer—generally from 30 days to a year.

During this extended curing time, the surface remains relatively soft and can be damaged by heavy vehicles, sharp objects, or high temperatures. To protect your investment, it's best to avoid parking heavy machinery on the asphalt until it has fully cured.

The exact time required for drying and curing depends on several factors, including the weather, the specific asphalt mix, and its thickness. For the most accurate advice tailored to your situation, consult with your asphalt contractor.
