"Luis was chosen from 11 contractors, since he involved the County Inspector and provided a written warranty. The final price was phenomenal for the job.....garage floor, driveway and walkways replaced, as well as extensive grading and landscaping. I am not hesitant to state everything looks so much better than work completed by the original contractor years ago....a ton of compliments from the neighbors. The before and after is amazing. He was timely, communicated well, and he and his crew(s) kept the work area tidy throughout the approximate 40 day process.....rain delays included. I would not hesitate to hire him again!"

"I can’t say enough good things about Premier Construction Company! They just installed my new asphalt driveway, and I am beyond pleased with the results. From the very beginning, they were professional, honest, and easy to work with. They answered all of my questions, kept me informed throughout the project, and made the entire process stress-free. Their pricing was fair and competitive, and I really appreciated that they accepted credit cards, which made the payment process simple and convenient. The crew worked hard, paid attention to every detail, and treated my property with respect. They arrived on time, completed the job efficiently, and cleaned everything up before they left. The finished driveway looks beautiful, and the quality of their workmanship really shows. It’s refreshing to find a company that truly takes pride in what they do. I would absolutely recommend Premier Construction Company to anyone looking for quality asphalt work. Thank you for doing such an outstandin"

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

The average cost of 1,500 square feet of asphalt ranges from about $10,500 to $22,500, depending on location, thickness, base material, and how accessible the job site is to crews and equipment. Keep in mind that your asphalt material cost may vary depending on its type, ranging from porous asphalt to heated blacktop. Standard asphalt costs $7 to $13 per square foot.

Paving is a part of hardscaping, so all paving is hardscaping, but not all hardscaping is paving. Paving involves laying down concrete or asphalt, while hardscaping can also include the use of paving stones, bricks, gravel, wood, and more. Hardscape features that involve paving are considered permanent and will increase your property taxes, while some other hardscaping features—like those involving bricks, gravel, and paving stones—will not affect property taxes. Paving also typically requires a permit, while hardscaping features considered temporary will not.

A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

Yes, it is possible to pave over an existing driveway, but whether it's the right choice depends on several factors. If the underlying structure of your current driveway is still strong, concrete or asphalt resurfacing can be a cost-effective way to prolong its life. However, if your driveway has significant issues like potholes, deep cracks, or other inconsistencies, it is best to remove the old driveway and start from scratch. Key factors to consider include the current driveway's condition, the compatibility of the new material, the added thickness and height, and the necessary surface preparation.
