"Cecil came out and walked the driveway with me and explained what they would do. I had another company come out as well. . . and what Cecil described was a more painstaking process. His goal: keep all the water out. I believe they accomplished that. The driveway looks good! Hopefully, in 4 years or so. . . all I'll need to do is seal it again. I'll call Pro Asphalt to come back out and do it for me."

"This project involved the demolition, redesign and rebuilding of our basement. This included a multipurpose room and bathroom. Thomas was the low bidder for the project by several thousand dollars. The project began as scheduled but demo and framing took longer than scheduled. Our completion date was moved back several time throughout the project, though that wasn't a big deal. There were times during the project when Thomas was difficult to get in touch with and he was routinely an hour or more late for his scheduled appointments. I need to add that Thomas is a contractor not a handyman and relies on sub contractors and individuals for all the work. Overall they did a good job, some were messy and didn't attempt to clean up their mess. At times I was asked to come up with a solution to a design problem when I expected his team of professionals to offer suggestions for me to choose from. In total fairness I feel my experience was good but not excellent. Thomas is a nice guy and flexible during all phases of the project. His sub contractors where honest and hard working, we got along well with all of them. If I had to do it all over again I'd probably study up and try to be my own contractor, assuming I had the time."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

Asphalt, which is stone mixed with tar, is the most common material for outdoor basketball courts because it’s so sturdy and versatile. However, you don't have to use it: another option is polymeric rubber, which has shock pads that can prevent injury. This option is a little more expensive, ranging between $16 and $25 per square foot.

Materials used for indoor basketball courts, such as hardwoods, aren’t really an option outdoors.

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.

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’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.

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.
