"Turf One was at our home a few years ago and did a fantastic job on our brick paver patio and landscaping! Called them again this year for additional paver work as well as a fall clean up and couldn't be happier with the results! Nice to have a company still in business doing such quality work."

"Asked them to repave a driveway for a tenant. So far tenant has reported that they like the new driveway. Communication between me and them was Great. I was able to schedule an inspection quickly, they kept me updated on when they started working and when they were finished. They were timely and stuck to the project schedule. Even moved it up when they found an opening."

"Domenico Brick Paving and Landscaping, Birmingham, MI, just completed rebuilding our brick entrance steps and relaying the brick sidewalk to our residence. From the initial work appraisal to the final completion every person we dealt with was professional, courtesy and took time to listen to our concerns, provided suggestions and completed a project we are extremely pleased with. Everyone arrived as scheduled. The crew that completed the work were excellent and did an outstanding job in constructing and laying the brick sidewalk. They took extreme care in making sure that all work was done with care and concern for the surrounding area. The cleanup was exceptional. I highly recommend Domenico Brick Paving."

"Curt was very helpful in explaining the work to be done and designing the plans. He made sure to explain everything that needed to be explained. He made sure to work within my budget and was even able to get the project done way sooner than I had anticipated. They always called whenever Kurt was on his way out to let me know exactly when heâ d arrive to discuss the quote. The crew was very friendly and explained how the project was going whenever I checked on them. They even spent their own time edging my driveway whenever they had some downtime. Just overall a very pleasant experience working with the whole team and I will definitely keep their info for if I ever need any additional work done"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

There’s no single best asphalt grade—it all comes down to where and how it’s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional’s input is always a smart move before making a decision.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

By grading and compacting the base soil, ensuring proper drainage and stability.

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.

New asphalt typically needs 24 to 72 hours to dry before it can handle light foot traffic and careful driving. Although it may appear solid after a few days, the full curing process, where the asphalt reaches its peak strength, takes much longer—generally from 30 days to a year.

During this extended curing time, the surface remains relatively soft and can be damaged by heavy vehicles, sharp objects, or high temperatures. To protect your investment, it's best to avoid parking heavy machinery on the asphalt until it has fully cured.

The exact time required for drying and curing depends on several factors, including the weather, the specific asphalt mix, and its thickness. For the most accurate advice tailored to your situation, consult with your asphalt contractor.
