"Everything went very well. Richard and his crew were very professional and friendly. They worked non stop until the job was completed. Some of my neighbors will be using them to do their driveways. If I need work done in the future I will not hesitate to call Suburban Asphalt. I will refer them to anyone looking to have their driveways, etc. done."

"- Ed Sage provided estimate the Tues after the Irene tropical storm weekend. We had made the appointment 2 wks prior and as busy as they were he still kept the appointment. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided recommendation not to do some things I was looking at that made perfect sense...although he could have just included in the estimate and provided me now advice. At the time he said it would be 1-2 wks before they could schedule the job due to large amount work in their queue
- While at my house I asked numerous additional questions and recommendations concerning some lawn overseeding and sod work. Ed answered all my questions and provided me the steps to take if I did it myself. He also offered to provide me the sod by ordering some extra for another job he had.
- I accepted the bid two days later and they told me they would call once they had scheduled the job to confirm it was ok for me. I also requested the sod he had offered to get and deliver for me at cost.
- They delivered the sod (30 roles) a couple of days later
- They showed up on the scheduled date first thing in morning and were on site until 6pm
- They did everything included in estimate and also trimmed a large holly tree and picked up a large brush pile I had that were not in the estimate. They did this at no additional charge
- They thoroughly cleaned up the yard, driveway, sidewalk and street
- I was very satisfied with the work they did and professionalism of the crew
- Ed was very helpful and direct in all his communications with me
- I would highly recommend Sage and actually contacted them a couple of weeks later to due some additional landscaping work for me

"I hired Uprise to repair my pavers on the driveway and I was pleased with the work, professionalism and honesty. I ended up using them for my 20x40 deck replacement and it was just as great as the first experience. We used trex boards, they were open to ideas and listened to our suggestions and they explained everything in detail."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Sealing coat asphalt after 6-12 months and then every 2-3 years is recommended.

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.

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:

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you have worker’s compensation?

  • Do you use subcontractors on your projects?

  • Do you clean up after the job is done?

  • Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Do you give free estimates?

  • What is the timeline for completion?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three references?

  • Can I see some of the work you’ve done?

Gravel is the most economical and least expensive driveway material, costing between $1 and $3 per square foot. This is significantly cheaper than alternatives like asphalt or concrete. However, it's important to consider long-term costs, as gravel driveways require regular maintenance. You will likely need to add new gravel filling once or twice a year and regularly rake it to keep it level, which can add to the overall cost over time.

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.
