"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."

"Design One was a great company to work with! Travis came out to assess the property and delivered a beautiful design. The team installed a patio, pavers along the driveway, prepped the yard and laid sod. They were very good about keeping the job site clean when they left at the end of the day. Travis was always responsive with our questions, and when we asked about making a change, was able to work it out even late into the installation process. We are so happy with the way everything came together - the yard and patio look fabulous!"

"Our experience was excellent. We had trouble in the past finding a hardscaping/landscaping design company that was responsive, but once we reached out to Domenic, he contacted us right away and was responsive and evaluated our job immediately. We are extremely happy for all their service, as outlined, and look forward to working with them in the future. Design: We met with Dominic for our hardscaping work and Diane for our landscaping work several times before making our decision and both provided great ideas we had not considered and were able to show us different design patterns on their computer design program that helped our decision. For example, Domenic proposed that we lift and relay our existing pavers in our driveway and porch/walkway as opposed to installing all new surface, and he also suggested adding a border that changed and updated the look that we are extremely happy with. Diane walked around our house many times and pointed out that we could significantly open the view to/from our sunroom with the elimination of overgrown shrubs and trees. Karl and Dave oversaw a great team in our hardscape process. The team, led by Jose, worked diligently all day in the heat of the summer to pick-up and clean every paver in our large driveway and front porch. All the workers were polite and hard working. Karl was very patient as well looked through many border options and we are very happy with our choice. Once the choice was made, the team meticulously laid each one, which was not easy as we have many curves and corders in our driveway and walkway. They also buried some of our drains, which helped get the water away from the house and level the year. Karl and Dave came once a day to check on the progress and answer any questions. Diane led the landscaping team and was the person I worked with the most and from the beginning of the project till the end, Diane was extremely responsive. She was responsible for coordinating not only the new plantings but also the lights and irrigation. She was very patient as she had to work around our schedule with painting the house and other construction we were doing at the time. If I had any questions or concerns she would call me right back and made many trips to our house to oversee the work. The entire team was responsive, hardworking and courteous. We are extremely happy with the results and look forward to working with Domenico again."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, check that the company is licensed and insured.

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?

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.

This creates a risk for your driveway to fail after asphalt curing because it doesn't have a lasting bond with the surface. In order to get asphalt to perform as intended, it's necessary to prepare the dirt surface correctly first. The loose soil base under the new driveway must be compacted until it is stable enough to support the weight of the asphalt.
