"This contractor worked extremely hard to finish the job through extreme weather conditions to finish at a scheduled time much needed. For this I am very pleased. However, when they declared the job finished, I was not satisfied. They had installed a 100 feet of underground culvert which required removal and replacement of a section of a concrete driveway. All was complete except at the two ends of the culvert the backfill was already washing away due to the heavy rains and would continue to wash away. I argued that the job was not finished and that something needed to be done to finish the ends of the culvert backfill. I suggested covering with rock but they argued that was not part of the bid. I was communicating with my stepson, a very qualified contractor in another state, for advice. My contractor exclaimed that they were licensed in Louisiana and they new what they were doing. Ultimately Mr. Lenard asked me what would make me happy. I told him adding rock at the two ends of the culvert would make me extremely happy. He said youâ ve got it. They brought in the rock and finished the job. It added a minimal of extra cost to them but the job was then professionally finished. It looked right and the slope at the ends is now protected. It has now withstood the test of two rainstorms. After the rock was placed, the contractor new that adding rock was the right thing to due and so stated. They stated that they wondered why they had not thought of that up front. Ultimately, I am extremely pleased with the work and job done. I would not hesitate to recommend this contractor. I believe this contractor has learned that even more important than working hard to meet a deadline through difficult weather is the ultimate quality of the job and the ultimate customer satisfaction. To this end I am pleased with how the job turned out."

"They were very professional. Did everything I asked in a timely matter. I liked how Steve returned my calls. I love my new driveway and sidewalk, wish I had done it sooner instead of using rock all these years."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

The choice between asphalt and concrete depends on your priorities, budget, and climate.

Concrete is generally more durable, lasting up to 50 years with minimal upkeep, and offers more customization options like staining and stamping, which can add more to a home's value. However, it is more expensive upfront and can be prone to cracking in cold climates where water can freeze and expand.

Asphalt is typically cheaper and quicker to install and is easier to repair. It performs better in colder climates. However, it requires more maintenance, including regular resealing, has a shorter lifespan, and can get hot and sticky in intense sunlight.

Ultimately, if durability and long-term value are key, concrete is often the better choice. If upfront cost and performance in cold weather are more important, asphalt may be preferable.

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.

Yes, it is possible to pave over an existing driveway, but whether it's the right choice depends on several factors. If the underlying structure of your current driveway is still strong, concrete or asphalt resurfacing can be a cost-effective way to prolong its life. However, if your driveway has significant issues like potholes, deep cracks, or other inconsistencies, it is best to remove the old driveway and start from scratch. Key factors to consider include the current driveway's condition, the compatibility of the new material, the added thickness and height, and the necessary surface preparation.

It’s best to weigh the pros and cons of each material and decide on your priorities for your driveway. Gravel won’t be an appropriate choice if your driveway experiences heavy traffic. You’ll find that you need to level and top it off regularly, which could make the material a much more expensive option.
