"They did a great job, and they did it quickly. So many contractors take way too long. But they got right to it. Very happy with my new driveway. Drainage was a main concern; water runs right down the middle of the driveway."

"Accurate Asphalt completely re-did our 100-foot-long, crumbling driveway on Tuesday, 09/03/19. This involved removing all of the old asphalt, widening the driveway by one foot on each side, adding a 15 foot pad at the top of the driveway, and widening the driveway at the top enough to park an additional vehicle (4 drivers and 5 vehicles). They were done in half a day with a crew of 10. Everyone was courteous and professional. What was most impressive is that the owner, Ace, showed up to check on the progress and to personally meet with us to ask if we had any concerns and what we thought of the job. We could not have been more pleased. Ace also followed up with us this morning, Thu (09/05/19) to make sure everything was all right. I have been in customer service many years, and I pay attention to the subtleties of customer service including a company's sincere concern about a job being done well. Accurate Asphalt was genuinely concerned about our input and satisfaction with their overall performance including the appearance of the new driveway, the quality of the new driveway, and the professionalism of the crew who did the job. I should also mention that Accurate Asphalt's estimate was several thousand dollars less than other quotes we received with no shortcuts taken."

Thanks Joshua's Paving llc so much for everything, give them a call today for all of your driveway needs."
An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.
Driveway aprons typically range between four and seven inches thick, though your town's building codes will likely have specific requirements. Additionally, you may need to add a layer of permeable aggregate in the excavation below your paved apron to ensure proper stormwater drainage.
The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt.
Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it’s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.
Your driveway contractor will probably recommend that you avoid driving on your new millings driveway for up to a week. Keeping pressure off the freshy applied millings will help the driveway to bind together. While the sun is helpful for binding millings, hotter weather can actually make the curing process take longer.
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.
