What kind of driveway can be exposed to water right after installation?

• <div>Gravel is <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-driveways.htm">one of the few driveway materials</a> that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at $1 to $3 per square foot, and can also last upward of 100 years.</div>

How big should a driveway apron be?

• <div>The size of your driveway apron will vary based on your town's building codes. On average, they range between 12 and 24 feet wide and eight to 15 feet long. One end of the apron usually matches the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-width-guide.htm">width of the driveway</a>—10 to 12 feet wide for a single-car driveway—while the street end flares out to allow cars to turn in and out.</div>

What questions should you ask an asphalt driveway contractor?

• <div>When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:<ul><li>How many years of experience do you have?</li><li>Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?</li><li>Do you have worker’s compensation?</li><li>Do you use subcontractors on your projects?</li><li>Do you clean up after the job is done?</li><li>Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?</li><li>Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?</li><li>Do you give free estimates?</li><li>What is the timeline for completion?</li><li>How do you handle change orders?</li><li>Can you provide at least three references?</li><li>Can I see some of the work you’ve done?</li></ul></div>

No guarantee on work. Ledgepack driveway not graded evenly resulting in more puddles than we ever had. Ledgepack was mostly dirt and sand and is all mud when rains.

I would certainly recommend Tate Bros Paving. We had this done in two stages. Ripping out the old driveway and laying down a binder coat was done in Dec 2012 and the topcoat was applied in April 2013. We were hoping for and got a good stretch of weather in Dec. which allowed Tate to get the...
