"When I contacted East Coast Paving for an initial estimate, I was pleasantly surprised with their timely response to my request.  From start to finish, I was extremely pleased with the overall level of communication I received from them.  East Coast Paving completed the job on time, on budget and, most importantly, to my full and complete satisfaction.  To say that I am pleased with the final results of my new driveway is an understatement.  

The level of service provided by East Coast Paving exceeded my expectations.  The two words that come to mind are 'precision' and 'professionalism'.  In addition to doing a stellar job with the driveway, they also cleaned up the job site after the work was completed, and followed up to confirm our level of satisfaction.  I cannot recommend them highly enough."

"First time I'd done seal coating but I'm selling the home and the driveway was way past it's prime and had many large cracks. I thankfully did not have time to do it myself so I looked at reviews and called a couple. Frank SR is who I talked to and he impressed me with answers to my questions and then worked with me to be flexible on when to do it as I needed to powerwash and clean some really bad areas first. Finally his son Fank J came to do the work and did an excellent job. The thickness and quality of the sealer they use is MUCH better than the do it yourself stuff. When done, amazingly, around 90 pct of the big cracks I had not had time to fill were gone! I will patch he few remaining very large ones with cold patch asphalt repair as they are not really cracks. If I had done sealcoating with them previously I am pretty sure my driveway would no be in this bad a shape-but the seal coating did a remarkable job filling cracks and making he asphalt look in good shape again. I am very glad I picked them to do the work and would do so again for any asphal/paving. Price was very reasonable at around twice what it would cost me to have done it myself so it was only a few hundred more, I didn't have to do he work, and most importantly the result was far better due to the quality of the materials used and it's expert application laying it on thickly."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Gravel is the most economical and least expensive driveway material, costing between $1 and $3 per square foot. This is significantly cheaper than alternatives like asphalt or concrete. However, it's important to consider long-term costs, as gravel driveways require regular maintenance. You will likely need to add new gravel filling once or twice a year and regularly rake it to keep it level, which can add to the overall cost over time.

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 hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you have worker’s compensation?

  • Do you use subcontractors on your projects?

  • Do you clean up after the job is done?

  • Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Do you give free estimates?

  • What is the timeline for completion?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three references?

  • Can I see some of the work you’ve done?

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.

Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope—anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway’s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.
