"We had a driveway poured just before winter of 2023. The driveway was approximately 12’ x 60’. We were given a free estimate. The project was scheduled to take 4 days. The project was right on schedule. Just like clockwork. Each team that showed up for their portion of the project were all professional concentrating on the task at hand. My wife & I were very satisfied with the driveway. Sue & Pete F."
"We needed a new driveway as our old one was chipped and cracked in so many places and water was seeping into our basement after each heavy rainstorm. Crosstown Concrete came out and dug up our old cement driveway and poured a new one with new steps for our side entrance. We were so impressed by the knowledge, professionalism and courtesy of Greg's entire team. They were AMAZING! They worked tirelessly for days in the heat until the job was completed. His employees are the hardest working crew around! Our new driveway looks incredible and adds so much to our curb appeal. I will absolutely hire his team again for future work. I can't say enough great things about them!"
"My driveway was so broken up & water was running to my house & down basement wall. The replaced all concrete & got it away from my house & down toward the street. Alfredo went the extra mile for me. All the men were courteous, & knowledgeable. He cleaned up the areas afterward & made sure I was satisfied with the results. It will be so nice having a smooth driveway to my garage instead of endless broken concrete & holes. Plus, rain will no longer be running into my basement. He was more affordable than the other quotes I received & saved me so much money with great results. Thank you Alfredo Bravo."
"I recommend them very highly indeed. Very reasonable price, excellent work, prompt, and professional. We went from the worst driveway on the block to the best."
"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."
"Chris was professional, friendly and easy to deal with. Even though he hadn't installed any permeable driveways, he had installed permeable patios and didn't see any problems with doing something similar with my small driveway. He even suggested some options for reusing the water. I would have accepted Chris' proposal but I found someone who installed permeable driveways using recycled material which is what I initially wanted and was having a hard time finding. "
"Job went extremely smoothly. Sue in the office was a great communicator and Shane and his crew did an outstanding job. I am very happy with the quality of materials used, time it took to complete the job and most importantly how well the driveway turned out. I will be calling them back for a patio next Spring!"
Asphalt driveways last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, but if you don’t stay on top of repairs, you may find yourself spending extra to replace your driveway before its typical lifespan. Stay on top of repairing cracks and potholes by routinely inspecting your driveway once or twice a year. It’s a good idea to pressure wash your asphalt driveway at least once a year to keep it clean. Apply a sealer every one to five years, based on your climate.
Regular cleaning, sealing, and timely repair of cracks help maintain its condition.
New asphalt goes through two stages: drying and curing. Drying typically takes 24 to 72 hours, after which the surface is solid enough for light use like walking or careful driving. While you may be able to park on it after 72 hours, the surface is still soft and should be treated gently. Full curing is a much longer process, taking anywhere from 30 days to a full year for the asphalt to reach maximum strength. During this extended curing period, the asphalt is susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles, sharp objects, and high temperatures. Factors like weather, the specific asphalt mix, and application thickness all influence drying and curing times. For the most accurate timeline and to ensure the longevity of your new asphalt, it is always best to consult with your installation contractor for their specific recommendations.
Yes, recycled asphalt driveway costs can be substantially lower than new asphalt. With new asphalt costing between $90 and $190 per ton, this option can cost as much as 10 times more than laying down asphalt millings.
The decision to repair or replace your driveway depends on the extent of the damage. If your driveway has a few small cracks, a simple repair will do the trick. If you see larger cracks and potholes, it may be time to consider resurfacing or replacement. Resurfacing is a great option if more than 25% of the surface is damaged, but if the damage is extensive—deep cracks or significant sinking—it’s best to replace the driveway entirely. A new driveway, with proper care, can last decades while patching or resurfacing might only hold up for a few years before needing more attention.
