"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."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can retrofit an existing driveway, but this usually involves cutting grooves into the driveway, installing the heating elements, then sealing them. While this is much less expensive than typical heated driveway systems, the final appearance could be diminished. Speak with a driveway paving company to confirm which design method is best for you.

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.

Like all driveway materials, asphalt can crack in the wrong conditions and with age. Many things can cause asphalt to crack, including shifting soil or settling under the foundation. Other common causes are driving oversized vehicles on the asphalt, tree roots, and using rock salt during the snowy season. Proper installation and sealing the driveway every 10 years can help prevent cracks.

Asphalt edging secures the sides of your driveway to prevent crumbling and cracking over time. Most driveways have edges with a 45-degree grading. This helps transfer some of the stress from the asphalt to the ground underneath. If your driveway doesn’t have proper edging, the pressure from your car may break down the edges over time.
