Do asphalt companies also do tar and chip paving?

• <div><p>Many asphalt companies have experience with tar and chip paving, but not all. The process is unique enough—and not incredibly common enough—that you may have to look around for a tar and chip specialist. However, speaking with a driveway company is a great place to start, especially if they have experience with multiple materials.</p></div>

What are alternatives to a gravel driveway?

• <div><p>The most common alternatives to a gravel driveway are concrete, asphalt, brick, and permeable pavers. Concrete and asphalt are the two more affordable alternatives, while the intricate design options of brick and permeable pavers make installation significantly more expensive. Similar to gravel, concrete isn’t the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-driveway-material-for-cold-weather.htm">best driveway material for cold weather</a>, as frigid temperatures can cause it to crack. Alternatively, asphalt is sensitive to heat, and driveways can become soft in areas with high temperatures and sun exposure. While brick and permeable pavers give homeowners curb appeal, the latter offers the added functionality of preventing flooding and reducing runoff water.</p></div>

Q: How do you maintain a driveway?

• <div><p>Maintaining a driveway depends on the material your driveway is made of. Concrete and asphalt should be sealed to protect against water and freeze-thaw cycles. Cracks and expansion joints should be filled with a flexible polyurethane caulk or asphalt sealer. Before you apply a sealant to your driveway, consider pressure washing the surface. It will take off any loose sealant and any grime that might have caused a stain. Sealing over dirt and stains will trap it under the sealer.</p><p>If you live in colder climates, consider using sand rather than salt to de-ice. Sand helps melt the snow and ice without speeding up the freezing and unthawing process of your driveway, which helps prevent cracks from forming from the constant fluctuation of temperatures.</p></div>

Q: Is driveway repair worth it?

• <div><p>In most cases, driveway repair is worth the investment. Your driveway is one of the first things people see when they look at your home, so repairing cracks, chips, and potholes can improve your home&rsquo;s curb appeal and overall value. Repairing your driveway is also almost always more affordable than replacing it entirely&mdash;an average of <b>$1,765</b> compared to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">cost of replacing a driveway</a>, which typically costs around <b>$5,000</b>.</p></div>

Q: How do I stop my pavers from sinking?

• <div><p>The best way to stop your pavers from sinking is to ensure you've properly compacted the base layers. Use your paver compactor and work over the base layer several times to create the hardest possible base. If the soil and sand of your base are compact, you&rsquo;ll experience less shifting and sinking.</p></div>
