Do I need a permit to repave my driveway?

• <div><p>In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between <b>$50 and $300</b> in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.</p></div>

How long does it take to build a driveway?

• <div><p>While the specific timeline for building a driveway can vary based on driveway length and local weather conditions, the average concrete driveway can require several days to lay down all of the different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-terms-know.htm">parts of the driveway</a>. The curing process may require you to avoid using your driveway for a week following construction. Heavier vehicles should be kept off of a new concrete driveway for several weeks. Building a gravel driveway may take just one to two days in total.</p></div>

Q: What’s the optimal temperature for asphalt to dry and cure the fastest?

• <div><p>Asphalt dries and cures best between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This range allows moisture to evaporate quickly without causing the asphalt to cool too fast, which can negatively affect the drying process. However, keep in mind that other weather conditions can also affect curing and drying times, such as precipitation and humidity.</p></div>

Q: Is milled asphalt eco-friendly?

• <div><p>Yes, using recycled asphalt millings is an eco-friendly alternative compared to concrete. Millings are reclaimed pieces of gravel that are recycled into aggregate that can be used on driveways, patios, walkways, basketball courts, tennis courts, and more.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete more durable than asphalt?

• <div><p>In terms of durability, concrete driveways can last more than <b>50 years</b> when properly maintained, compared to the typical <b>30 years</b> for an asphalt driveway. However, the durability depends on the climate, base material and thickness, and thickness of the concrete or asphalt used. The longevity of concrete or asphalt driveways also depends on how well it&rsquo;s maintained and the amount of wear and tear it endures.</p></div>

These guys are very good. I highly recommend them. They did three tasks, stabilizing a cracked concrete floor in a shed, stabilizing my 30 year old concrete driveway, and stabilizing my 30 year old modular home foundation that was built out of specs. Well done!

"I tried to do my own landscaping on my property and got frustrated. I apparently have a black thumb. My mom told me to hire C&K and stop killing myself. They came out and not only made things look great but taught me the proper way to care for my new shrubs and after testing planted the right grass for my soil.
