"We hired David Browe Paving to tear up our old driveway and put down a completely new driveway. They listened to my concerns about the grade and drainage of the old driveway, and addressed them when they installed the new driveway. The new driveway looks great, and I feel we got an excellent job for a fair price."

"First of all I want to thank Heidi, she was excellent! She really explained everything in detail. She knows the business in and out which made it an easy decision to go with this company. Also, Jim (the owner) and his entire team showed up and they weren't wasting any time on doing an awesome job on our big driveway. It was amazing to see all the guys and machines moving up and down the driveway which was in such despair. Not only did they regrade our driveway getting rid of all the potholes they added stone to the entire driveway and then they paved it. They definitely surpassed our expectations from start to finish. If anybody needs paving these are definitely the pros to call!!!"

Customers say: True professional

"I had three outdoor jobs that required excavation work (removing several large trees & two old barns that had fallen down, along with fixing an issue with flooding on our property). I am so lucky to have found Brian! He and his brother worked very hard, very fast and resolved in one weekend all of the issues that I needed fixed on my property. They made sure I was happy and even cleared away some extra brush that was not part of the original request, just so things would look nicer. I could not have asked for a better contractor to work with! I plan to hire them again next year for the next phase of projects I have coming up. I would recommend their excavation services without hesitation."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Gravel is one of the few driveway materials that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at $1 to $3 per square foot, and can also last upward of 100 years.

The material that’s best for your private road depends on your property, the climate in your area, and your personal preferences. Gravel is an affordable option, but some homeowners don’t like how it looks. It can be a pain to remove snow from, and it requires more ongoing maintenance than asphalt or concrete. However, while these other options require less maintenance and make snow removal a breeze, they’re more expensive and will need repairs from time to time. Ultimately, you’ll have to choose the road material that suits you and your property best.

A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.

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.

Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs.
