"Ken and Rowan are a pleasure to work with and we could not be happier with the work they did for us. They took a very large, pea stone patio area from sad to amazing by adding curbing along three sides (to separate the pea stone area from the lawn and driveway), refreshed the pea stone in between pavers on our long walkway, and we able to smartly cover up some ugly yard drainage while allowing it to still function properly. Our project was a bit unusual but they had the expertise (and enthusiasm!) to help us figure it out. They spent many hours beforehand problem solving and planning out the project with us. Ken communicated with us throughout all the materials purchases and both Ken and Rowan were very responsive to all our requests. On top of that, they got the project done within a tight timeframe as we had a deadline. We gained so much confidence in them that we have 3 more large projects (large retaining wall, walkways, and a drainage area along our driveway) that we plan to hire them for!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

You can expect your asphalt pavement to last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, or 25 years on average. The life expectancy of your asphalt driveway depends on the climate, the amount of traffic, and how well you maintain it. While you can’t necessarily control some of these factors, you can control the amount of maintenance effort you put into your driveway. 

To prevent your asphalt from deteriorating prematurely, you should follow a good maintenance routine involving regular cleaning, reparation work, and resealing.

When asphalt cures, it typically changes from a very dark black hue to a lighter, more matte gray color. Cured asphalt also won’t be tacky or sticky to the touch or emit any odors from the asphalt mix. Additionally, the surface of fully cured asphalt won’t deform under any pressure.

This creates a risk for your driveway to fail after asphalt curing because it doesn't have a lasting bond with the surface. In order to get asphalt to perform as intended, it's necessary to prepare the dirt surface correctly first. The loose soil base under the new driveway must be compacted until it is stable enough to support the weight of the asphalt.

An asphalt overlay or top coat costs between $3 and $7 per square foot. For a standard, single-car driveway that’s 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, that’s a total of between $600 and $1,400. For a two-car driveway, you’re looking at a total of between $1,200 and $3,000.
