Can you DIY chip seal?

• <div><p>Driveway installation is challenging. While chip seal might sound easier to apply than asphalt, the process still involves heavy machinery and professional skills. Unless you come from a construction background, we recommend hiring <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/asphalt-companies/">an asphalt company</a> to chip seal your new driveway. If you are paving the driveway entirely with chip seal, expect to pay <b>$5 to $10 per square foot</b>.</p></div>

Q: What are the three main types of asphalt?

• <div><p>The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt. Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it&rsquo;s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.</p></div>

Q: How often should you maintain asphalt pavement?

• <div><p>A good asphalt maintenance schedule covers all the pitfalls that can happen to your asphalt. Just how often you should maintain your pavement will depend on the type of maintenance. Resealing your asphalt driveway should be done every three to five years. Cleaning is more of an annual task while repairing cracks and potholes comes in on an as-needed basis.</p></div>

Q: Do flatwork repairs include sealing?

• <div><p>Many services include sealing as part of the repair process. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between asphalt and blacktop?

• <div><p>The main difference between asphalt and blacktop is that asphalt has a lower ratio of bitumen&mdash;a low-grade tar-like crude oil&mdash;than blacktop. While blacktop is heated to 300 degrees or more, hot-mix asphalt is heated to a lower temperature, typically between 275 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Dillion is the Man. Gave me a general quote over the phone and it was the price he charged for the job. The RV pad/driveway he created for us on my slopped yard is just what we wanted and then some. It is a beefy structure that should last way beyond our needs. He got it done as he said he would...
