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>

Do asphalt companies also do tar and chip paving?

• <div><p>Many asphalt companies have experience with tar and chip paving, but not all. The process is unique enough—and not incredibly common enough—that you may have to look around for a tar and chip specialist. However, speaking with a driveway company is a great place to start, especially if they have experience with multiple materials.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to repave my driveway?

• <div><p>In most cases, you don&rsquo;t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you&rsquo;re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you&rsquo;ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area.

Q: What is the life expectancy of a heated driveway?

• <div><p>Most heated driveways last from 15 to 20 years with regular inspection, maintenance, and prompt repairs. In other words, a heated driveway lasts about the same length of time as a regular concrete or asphalt driveway. However, your paving material does affect the longevity of your heated driveway. For example, concrete driveways may crack due to temperature discrepancies caused by a hydronic system, which can reduce your driveway&rsquo;s life expectancy.</p></div>

Q: Is a 20% slope too steep for a driveway?

• <div><p>While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you&rsquo;re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location. </p></div>

Q: Are blacktop and asphalt the same thing?

• <div><p>Asphalt is not the same thing as blacktop. Blacktop is a type of asphalt, but contains less bitumen, making it less durable than asphalt. Asphalt is a better option for major highways, streets, and driveways, while blacktop is more suitable to playgrounds. </p></div>

Can only say good about the work Gregg Conway did for me removing trees; leveling property and creating a driveway with Crush and Run. I am very pleased and have already recommended them for a significant tree removal. Amazing Work. Looking forward to future projects.

I found this company on Angie's. Their quote was way lower than 2 others. I have a rental house business so I asked them to quote 3 other jobs. I gave them all 4 jobs and suggested doing the smaller of the jobs first to assess their work quality. The quality of the work was phenomenal and they...
