"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

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.

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. 

Common alternatives to a gravel driveway include concrete, asphalt, brick, stone pavers, and permeable pavers. Concrete and asphalt are generally the most affordable options. However, concrete can be prone to cracking in cold climates, while asphalt may soften in areas with high heat and direct sun exposure. For enhanced curb appeal, brick, stone, and permeable pavers are popular choices, though their installation can be more expensive due to intricate designs. Stone pavers offer a natural look and are sometimes installed with gravel around them. Both permeable pavers and brick driveways provide excellent drainage, which helps prevent flooding and reduce water runoff.

Gravel is the most economical and least expensive driveway material, costing between $1 and $3 per square foot. This is significantly cheaper than alternatives like asphalt or concrete. However, it's important to consider long-term costs, as gravel driveways require regular maintenance. You will likely need to add new gravel filling once or twice a year and regularly rake it to keep it level, which can add to the overall cost over time.

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.
