Should I seal my driveway or replace it?

• <div><p>If you notice minor cosmetic problems with your driveway, you should seal it. Look out for cracks and holes on the surface, faded asphalt or concrete, and stains from oil and other chemicals. Replacing your driveway may be necessary if you’re dealing with significant problems—¼-inch cracks, large potholes, and puddles from drainage issues. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-asphalt-driveway.htm">cost to install an asphalt driveway</a> typically ranges between <b>$4,200</b> and <b>$9,000</b>, significantly more than resealing. Consider talking to a professional to discuss whether resurfacing your driveway—a midway project between resealing and replacing—is a better option for you.</p></div>

Are grass pavers suitable for heavy foot or vehicle traffic?

• <div><p>Grass pavers are suitable for heavy foot or vehicle traffic, but they’re not as resistant as concrete or asphalt pavers.</p></div>

Which gravel can you harden into a solid surface?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-decomposed-granite.htm">Decomposed granite</a> and caliche can both harden into a solid surface using a plate compactor. However, due to decomposed granite’s fine particles, it’s not suitable for driveway surfaces. Some homeowners use pea gravel mixed with a gravel-binding resin to bind the loose stones and create a solid surface that won’t shift like loose gravel.</p></div>

Q: How do you build a road on a slope?

• <div><p>Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn&rsquo;t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.</p></div>

Q: How can I increase the lifespan of my driveway?

• <div><p>The best ways to increase the lifespan of your driveway are to carry out proper maintenance and get repairs done quickly. First, reseal your driveway every one to three years to protect it from the elements. If you start to notice significant cracks, hire a professional to diagnose the problem before it gets more serious. You can also use sand instead of salt when de-icing your driveway (since salt is corrosive) and clean your driveway annually using a pressure washer to keep it in tip-top shape. </p></div>

You couldnt find a better tree service. They went above and beyond in removing my trees and were very meticulous in cleaning up everything. I also recommend them to two of my friends and they did an excellent job there too. They did all of this at very reasonable prices .
