Q: What is asphalt made of?

• <div><p>Asphalt is made of aggregate materials (sand, rocks, and gravel) and bitumen, a viscous, petroleum-based, waterproof substance. These materials are mixed together at extremely high temperatures to form asphalt.</p></div>

Q: How do pros prevent sealant from peeling or flaking?

• <div><p>Proper surface prep and application techniques by pros minimize peeling, ensuring longevity.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for asphalt to dry?

• <div><p>On average, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-curing-time.htm">asphalt dries within 24 to 72 hours</a>, meaning it&rsquo;s solid enough for light traffic&mdash;walking and careful driving. Full curing&mdash;when asphalt reaches peak strength&mdash;can take anywhere from three months to a year. During that time, heavy loads and sharp objects can leave marks. Weather, asphalt mix, and thickness all affect how quickly it dries and cures. If you want your asphalt to last, treat it gently until it&rsquo;s fully cured. For the best results, check with a professional asphalt contractor for their advice.</p></div>

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...
