"A++ for responsiveness. Heard from a neighbor about our tree that fell on their driveway. Happy with our previous experience, we contacted Jorge again through Angieslist. Less than 30 min later I had a response - he was in the city that day, took a look, gave a quote, work was completed less than 10 hours later, great communication throughout."

"They showed up exactly as planned. Very professional team, everything was cleaned after the work. Very satisfied overall. I did not check other contractors as I was very impressed by the first visit where the owner went in great details about what was needed an suggested improvements to the original driveway."

"They did a great job, consistent with their estimate, and installed a temporary irrigation system to insure it all survived our dry summer at an extra (and worthwhile) cost. They used a Bobcat that required them to remove and put back some plants, and they protected the grass with plywood sheets."

"Went well. Did not try to upsell. Fixed what I needed fixed. Recommended an upgrade to my controller which was over 20 years old. I'm glad I did. Now I can control my sprinklers via an app."

"I hired Boston’s Best Asphalt & Construction to do a pave over of my residential driveway. Tony identified the really rough areas & cut them out & prepared those areas for new asphalt…and then paved over the entire driveway with new asphalt. The crew did an amazing job! I also had them install a 5 footI apron at the end of my driveway. It is red brick framed with salt & pepper granite blocks. Again, the crew did a fantastic job on the apron. They also do many other projects as well. So if you’re looking for a company to repair or replace your driveway, or any construction project, call Tony at Boston’s Best Asphalt & Construction. You will be glad you did! I would definitely hire them again!"

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.

While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.

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.

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.

Concrete is typically the best material for a driveway if you’re looking for longevity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance. But, it’s not ideal for areas with annual freeze-frost cycles, nor is it the most attractive option—although you can get it stamped or painted. If your location is consistently below freezing, asphalt may be a better choice.
