"Paul handled our project from start (bid) to finish (final approval & payment). We widened our driveway by one car width. As promised the job took one day. The crew arrived at 8 am & by 3 pm, we had a double driveway! The crew was hard working, fast & efficient. Importantly they were also respectful to us and of our property. The driveway addition is just what we wanted. I would highly recommend this company for needed concrete work."

"Highly recommended! Old asphalt removed and new driveway was expanded. Before could only fit 2-cars, but now it’s a 5-car driveway! Joel and his crew provided OUTSTANDING customer-service! Work started on-time and we are very pleased with our new driveway!"

"Joe and the crew from E Stanley did a great job widening our driveway. The job consisted of three parts. First, dig under the existing driveway and remove the roots that were growing underneath. Second, dig a couple of feet on both sides of our existing driveway to widen it out. Finally, pour asphalt on top of the driveway to replace the old one. Joe came in at the best price and finish the entire job in a single day.."

"Alex and the crew were amazing. They are a friendly and professional crew. Mindful of the existing areas, and very quick. They performed the driveway install over a holiday weekend and left our driveway and house looking clean, and professional. They made little changes to the design based on what all we had and how we used the driveway."

"**I posted that I needed asphalt for my driveway on Angi.come and received several phone calls. The reason I chose Frank is that he is very patient and efficient. He came to inspect the driveway in advance and took the time to discuss the details with me when I got home. Additionally, he and his team did a great job, even though my project was small. I highly recommend giving Frank and his team a try!**"

"The trucks pulled up at 8:00 AM ready to go to work.  I was concerned as it began to pour rain and contacted their supervisor.  He checked the weather radar and saw that it was going to clear up later in the day. The crew decided to do some minor jobs and return when the weather had cleared.  Sure enough, they were back at 12:00 PM ready to get to work.  They trimmed and cleared the canopy of a 35 year old maple tree.  Three professionals worked diligently for 2 hours on this tree.  It looked great when they were finished.  They then worked on two smaller trees and did some minor storm damage trimming.  The job was completed by 3:00 PM.  I was especially excited to see that all branches were mulched on site and hauled away.  They even raked all the leaf and small branch debris from the yard, washed down the driveway and left my yard looking amazing!!!  The crew "chief" was very personable and professional.  I truly appreciated their work ethic and willingness to take the time to produce quality work.

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

A solid driveway starts with the right asphalt mix, and for most homes, dense-graded hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the most recommended. It’s both durable and flexible, making it a reliable choice for residential use. A properly compacted 2-3 inch layer on a well-prepared crushed stone base will hold up for years. In areas with harsh winters or scorching summers, a slightly modified mix can help prevent cracking and rutting. No matter the climate, quality installation is just as important as the material itself, so hiring an experienced contractor ensures a smooth, long-lasting driveway built to last.

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. 

Many asphalt companies have experience with tar and chip paving, but not all. The process is unique enough—and not incredibly common enough—that you may have to look around for a tar and chip specialist. However, speaking with a driveway company is a great place to start, especially if they have experience with multiple materials.

Several materials are suitable for steep driveways. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable options that provide good traction. Permeable pavers—such as plastic, rubber, or concrete—filled with gravel or crushed stones are also excellent, as they allow water to drain without causing erosion and perform well in ice and snow. Another option is resin, which can be coated with an anti-slip finish and helps prevent puddles. For added stability, you can install a retaining wall to prevent pavers and gravel from shifting over time.

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.
