"I hired These guys to install a new asphalt driveway at my property as my old one was cracked and damaged and had a few potholes, I also wanted to widen the driveway by 3 feet. They were quick to come out and look at the job, they gave me a fair price, scheduled me in for two weeks later and the job was complete. I am very happy with how the driveway has come out and I would recommend them to anybody who is interested in having asphalt installed."

"Eddie and his crew (Josh, Juilio, Steve, John.....) replaced our entire driveway. The driveway was over 40 years old and had a significant drainage issue. Eddie reviewed the driveway, very competitively priced the replacement and recommended a drainage fix that corrected a very difficult driveway design. Eddie was on site for the entire replacement, the removal of the old blacktop, undesirable sub base and some areas that needed sawcutting. Then his crew compacted the new base with an excellent crushed stone base, installed the new drainage 1,000 gallon precast concrete drywell with drainage pipe and expanded some areas of the existing driveway. Then the final install of the asphalt was liking watching an orchestra perform. The crew was amazing under Eddie's guidance, the attention to detail to each area of the driveway install was so satisfying to watch. The weather during the install was not perfect, but Eddie and his crew were never distracted to doing a perfect driveway install. I am a very satisfied customer with Eddie's communication from the quoting process to his communication for the after care of driveway. A high quality driveway by Pave Tech that I am confident will exceed industry standard and a great home value that is used everyday."

"We wanted to have our driveway redone but thought it would be REALLY expensive. This company did a neighbor's house and we asked for quote. We were surprise at the estimate and had them had do it. They shim low area, took out some gravel, removed some old gravel, etc. Did a quick, clean, excellent job. Another neighbor watched them with our driveway and decided there and then to have her driveway done as well. We would recommend this company."

"We recently had our entire brick building tuckpointed in Brookline and the results were outstanding. The crew was professional, clean, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. They matched the mortar perfectly and made the whole building look brand new again. They showed up on time every day, kept the site organized, and finished the project exactly when promised. If you need full building tuckpointing done right, I highly recommend this company. Top quality workmanship and very fair pricing."

"Zammito & his crew were at my home to take a tree down. We briefly spoke about my retaining wall which was in need of some serious repair. He & his crew started working that week. I had been dragged along by other masons and he and his crew started immediately. They worked quickly, efficiently and did not leave a mess. I have already recommended him to friends & he had already begun work for them. 10/10"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.

When comparing installation costs, asphalt is often less expensive upfront than concrete. Asphalt prices typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, while concrete can range from $3 to $18 per square foot. However, long-term costs should also be considered. Concrete driveways generally last longer (up to twice as long) and require less maintenance, which can make them more affordable over their lifespan. While asphalt has a lower installation cost and is easier to repair, it requires more frequent maintenance, such as sealing, which can add up over time. Therefore, while concrete is more expensive initially, its durability may offset the cost in the long run.

To maintain their strength, asphalt driveways and parking lots need to be sealcoated once every two to five years. You may also need to reapply paint striping every few years as it fades to ensure drivers can safely navigate the parking lot.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.
