"We were extremely impressed by Asphalt Techs as they arrived this morning around 9AM. They worked diligently all day to remove the old driveway. None of them walked but ran from one task to another. The were neat and clean, and polite. The prepared driveway was then blacktopped and finished by 3:30 or 4. Brandon LaSante, the owner was knowledgeable and answered our questions without any pressure when he came a couple weeks ago to give us an estimate. He was a pleasure to work with. We are very happy with the finished driveway and highly recommend him and his crew at Asphalt Techs. And his trucks and equipment was clean."

"I contacted Ruck Paving in March of 2019 through the form on their site. Bobby got back to me within a day and went out to my house and did up a quote and emailed it later that same day. I had no idea what a driveway should cost, but after some Googling it seemed like a reasonable price. He quoted $5 a square foot for everything including tear-out, grading and the new driveway. (2019 pricing). His quote also included recently done driveways in my area so I could drive/walk by and check them out. I wasn't ready for the driveway immediately, so about 5 months later he checked in to see when I'd like it done. I told him mid to late September would work. He came and ripped out the old driveway on September 10. He was back on September 19th to do the new driveway. He and his crew showed up just after 8 AM, ready to go. They were done by 9:30. I didn't realize it would be so quick but he had a crew of 6 and it was obvious that they all worked well together. It was like watching a paving symphony. The finished driveway looks great, no more heaves or cracks and it actually matches up with the garage floor, a first in 14 years in the house! You'll end up with a quality product if you choose Billy Ruck and his crew."

An asphalt driveway should last 25 to 30 years, depending on the type of asphalt used, the climate, how well the foundation was prepared, the type of soil under the foundation, and how well you maintain your driveway. Maintaining asphalt by filling cracks and reapplying sealer every few years can help extend the life of your asphalt driveway.
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?
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.
An asphalt driveway costs about $7 to $15 per square foot, including labor and materials. The cost will vary depending on your location, how thick the base material is, what prep is required, the thickness of the asphalt, and the accessibility of the job site. The national average cost to install an asphalt driveway is about $4,740.
