"Clark Companies of MN did an AMAZING job installing our gravel driveway. They took their time and made sure it was exactly how we wanted it. The guys asked us along the way how we liked it, of course we said we loved it! Weâ ve been living in our new build for about 8 months with use of only half our driveway, Clark Companies of MN came in quickly, reasonably priced and now we can finally use our whole driveway!!"

"Blacktop Central is a company with which I have no beef. Curtains were drawn as the driveway crew is quite easy on the eyes. Blacktop Central arrived on the job in a timely fashion. The hard-working team tore out the asphalt driveway in front of my three car garage. They laid down a new base layer and put down asphalt all in one day. Blacktop Central even removed all of the old asphalt. At the end of the day, I had a beautiful new driveway at an affordable price. One year later, my driveway still looks brand new. Hats off to Blacktop Central. They are a five star company in my book."

I let them know a month a head of time that I wanted the driveway replaced before a Graduation party we were having at our house. They had no problem working with the timeline that I provided. They showed up, got to work, and finished all in one day. I was a little concerned how they would handle pouring around the retaining wall blocks and it turned out wonderful! The crew was great to have around. Almost two years later the driveway still looks as good as it day they poured it.

"The fences is still standing two years later. That is the best think I can write. The workmanship is poor with uneven cuts and sloppy installation. The customer service was horrible and two years later, Patrick (the owner) continues to evade my requests to finish the job (i.e., properly install the gates).
The gates are sagging and the topper blew off (the same week of installation). I was in touch with Patrick (the owner) on multiple occasions immediately after the installation. He promised to come and resolve the remaining issues, but never returned. I contacted him multiple times the first summer (of the install), the second summer, and now the third summer. He simply does not respond to my emails or phone calls. This was a pattern.
They left a mess in my yard and did a poor installation. The owner promised (at the time he was hired) to fill the fences posts by the gate with rock. According to Patrick (owner), the gates would sag and "lots of other guys don't to this, but that is poor quality work because the fence will sag." Well, he never fill them and the gates are very sagged. He also installed the latches backward. One one gate, it opened into an upward hill so the gate only opened 12 inches before hitting the upward slope. He had to remove and re-install the hardware on that gate. That left wholes in the PVC fence post, which looks very bad. There was not attempt to repair or hide the extra wholes. The other gate has the hardware backward, which required me to show every guest how to actually enter the backyard (they are that counter intuitive). 
To this day, there are still no caps on the top of the gates.
The fence installers made a mess in my yard. This included some trash and a very large mound of sand from when they dug the fence posts. They left the mound in my backyard on my landscaped grass. I had to remove it myself two weeks later (a full day to effort with two people) and it left a large spot of dead grass and dirt, which I had to reseed. Patrick (the owner) said that it did not occur to the installers to put this on a hard surface--like the driveway--and they never warned us of this.
We also agreed on a particular type of fence, which followed the grade of the ground (I have some sloping in my yard). I paid more for that fence type. The week before installation, Patrick called and tried to convince me to accept another type of fence that did not follow the grade of the ground. He said, "I will be fine." I had to insist that he abide by the contract. I was very fortunate that I had him write that detail in the contract.
The whole experience was shocking. If a law suit was not such a hassle, I would have sued. I should have and still might.

"Came out and gave me a free quote. Calvin kept in contact with me to arrange the best day to get the work done. They came and tore out the old driveway and paved the new driveway the same day. I couldn’t be happier with the final result."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Driveway paving costs around $4,500 on average, but depending on many factors, you could pay anywhere from $2,500 to $6,600 or more. The size of your driveway will usually be the most significant factor, with more square footage increasing your costs. You can expect to pay between $2 and $15 per square foot for paving services. Some other factors that play a role include the following:

  • Quality of the materials

  • Contractor’s experience and expertise

  • Site preparation and grading, if necessary

  • Layout of your driveway

Common alternatives to a gravel driveway include concrete, asphalt, brick, stone pavers, and permeable pavers. Concrete and asphalt are generally the most affordable options. However, concrete can be prone to cracking in cold climates, while asphalt may soften in areas with high heat and direct sun exposure. For enhanced curb appeal, brick, stone, and permeable pavers are popular choices, though their installation can be more expensive due to intricate designs. Stone pavers offer a natural look and are sometimes installed with gravel around them. Both permeable pavers and brick driveways provide excellent drainage, which helps prevent flooding and reduce water runoff.

Asphalt paving offers several benefits, including cost-effectiveness and a quick installation process. It provides a durable and smooth surface, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. With proper maintenance, asphalt also offers longevity.

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.

You can expect your asphalt pavement to last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, or 25 years on average. The life expectancy of your asphalt driveway depends on the climate, the amount of traffic, and how well you maintain it. While you can’t necessarily control some of these factors, you can control the amount of maintenance effort you put into your driveway. 

To prevent your asphalt from deteriorating prematurely, you should follow a good maintenance routine involving regular cleaning, reparation work, and resealing.
