Is it better to resurface or replace an asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Are millings cheaper than new asphalt?

• <div><p>Yes, recycled asphalt driveway costs can be substantially lower than new asphalt. With new asphalt costing between <b>$90 and $190</b> per ton, this option can cost as much as 10 times more than laying down asphalt millings.</p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest way to extend a driveway?

• <div><p>Gravel is the cheapest way to extend a driveway. Gravel is an affordable, practical option that&rsquo;s easy to install and perfect for DIY projects, helping you save on labor costs. It can be quickly spread and leveled to create extra driveway space without heavy preparation. While gravel doesn&rsquo;t offer the same durability or finished look as concrete or asphalt, its low cost makes it ideal for budget-conscious homeowners who want a functional solution without overspending. </p></div>

Q: What is the lifespan of asphalt pavement?

• <div><p>You can expect your asphalt pavement to last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, or 25 years on average. The life expectancy of your asphalt driveway depends on the climate, the amount of traffic, and how well you maintain it. While you can&rsquo;t necessarily control some of these factors, you can control the amount of maintenance effort you put into your driveway. </p><p>To prevent your asphalt from deteriorating prematurely, you should follow a good maintenance routine involving regular cleaning, reparation work, and resealing.</p></div>

Q: Which is better, asphalt or concrete?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-asphalt-vs-concrete-driveway.htm">Asphalt and concrete have their pros and cons</a>, but it really depends on your priorities. If you&rsquo;re looking for durability, concrete&rsquo;s your best bet, lasting up to 50 years with minimal upkeep. Asphalt, on the other hand, needs more TLC with regular resealing but is cheaper to install and easier to repair. Concrete also wins in curb appeal and resale value, offering homeowners more customization. But if you&rsquo;re looking for quicker, more affordable installation, asphalt has the advantage. Ultimately, your decision should align with your budget, willingness for maintenance, and design preferences.</p></div>

"Great. They addressed all our concerns about grading water away from the house. After multiple rains the grading has worked perfectly. Paid particular attention to creating clean and straight demarcation lines where asphalt met grass, essentially expanding width of the driveway 6 inches and created nice "flares" at the entrance to the driveway where the grass had been worn down. Before, the driveway looked like the hodge-podge of previous layers (two to three) of asphalt it was with very poor drainage. They dug up and carried away tons of old asphalt and graded. Now it looks neat and "buttoned up" as they would say. Friends of ours saw the completed job and had the guys come over to their home to get a quote to do their driveway."
