"My driveway was repaved about a month and a half ago. I was led to believe from the estimator, as well as the written estimate, that my entire driveway would be *milled*, or cut down (lowered) so that when the new asphalt was put down, my driveway would not be any higher (a concern for me, hoping not to add issues for me when mowing). Now my driveway IS higher and I have to mow so that I do not cross the driveway while mowing or else the mower deck will bottom-out. I have to wait to see about the quality of the asphalt; it seems like it is dried out and needs a sealer. There is also a bit of a hump where there had been a repair joint, so I am guessing it will not be long before I have a crack there."

"The owner, Thomas Burke, was great to work with in all respects. To start with he specified concrete that was stronger than what I wanted and this really pleased me. It told me he was willing to go above and beyond my requirements or minimums. He started with grading and removing dirt so he could build a retaining wall to hold back the grade for a new driveway. The guy he sent out worked very hard and did a near perfect job on the new wall. Like any construction project there were a few unknowns but he worked around these problems. Then he poured the new garage addition slab and finished it for me. Unfortunately it started to rain just before the final finish hardened so they had to redo some areas. Didn't come out quite as good after the rain but very acceptable. Then they immediately poured the driveway slab. No new showers so this came out perfectly. The concrete company sent out the second truck too soon so there was not enough time between pours to really get set. I think this second pour therefore did not quite get the grade Tom wanted. The driveway slab was pitched to drain water to match an adjacent existing slab and this did not quite work out. I have a small area on the new drive slab that holds water after a rain. It was a tough job to slope it right and it is within a quarter inch of draining. Like I said they were still grading the driveway when the truck showed up and I really think this cause the slight glitch. I have some more work to do next summer and am really looking forward to having Tom back knowing I will get a good price, a good job, and quick service done right. I would highly recommend ACT Contracting to anyone. "

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.
Gravel is the most economical and least expensive driveway material, costing between $1 and $3 per square foot. This is significantly cheaper than alternatives like asphalt or concrete. However, it's important to consider long-term costs, as gravel driveways require regular maintenance. You will likely need to add new gravel filling once or twice a year and regularly rake it to keep it level, which can add to the overall cost over time.
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.
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.
