"Jim was very accommodating in working out the scope and schedule of our very difficult driveway project, The driveway looks great, and after seeing rainwater drain in the weeks after he did the job, the driveway seems to flow the water away from the house as promised and better than we could have envisioned. We will definitely use him again to do our second layer, now a year later."

"Cooper and his friends did some spring clean up, fall clean up, and mowed every week or two for the 2025 season. He seemed knowledgeable and he worked diligently. The prior homeowner left the landscape a mess, but these folks did their best to make it look as nice as they could. They would even take extra effort to trim off some vegetation from my walkway and other areas occasionally for example. Since 2025, I believe his father took over although it seems Cooper is still helping out."

"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

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.

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.

While the specific timeline for building a driveway can vary based on driveway length and local weather conditions, the average concrete driveway can require several days to lay down all of the different parts of the driveway. The curing process may require you to avoid using your driveway for a week following construction. Heavier vehicles should be kept off of a new concrete driveway for several weeks. Building a gravel driveway may take just one to two days in total.

Asphalt edging secures the sides of your driveway to prevent crumbling and cracking over time. Most driveways have edges with a 45-degree grading. This helps transfer some of the stress from the asphalt to the ground underneath. If your driveway doesn’t have proper edging, the pressure from your car may break down the edges over time.

The dimensions of a driveway apron vary based on local building codes, the width of your driveway, and the distance between the driveway and the road. On average, aprons range from 12 to 24 feet wide and 8 to 18 feet long. Typically, the end of the apron connected to the driveway matches its width—such as 10 to 12 feet for a single-car driveway—while the end at the street flares out to allow cars to turn in and out more easily. In some areas, you may not be responsible for the portion of the apron that extends beyond the sidewalk, but this depends on local laws.
