"We recently had a new driveway poured by IConcrete and we cannot express enough our overall satisfaction with the company. Peter and his crew were professional, knowledgeable and friendly from start to finish. We have received many positive comments from neighbors and other people familiar with the concrete business as to the quality of the craftsmanship and the aesthetic appeal of their work. The guys at IConcrete met all requests that we had and took exceptional care to engineer the new surface as to result in maximum drainage efficiency. The crew always arrived to work as scheduled, performed efficiently and kept surrounding areas of the yard clean. Finally, project costs were very reasonable and Peter took the time to explain proper follow up maintenance and care for our investment. We would recommend without hesitation the services of IConcrete Construction. Please find the after picture of our driveway. Gary and Flora Mergel Grand Island, NY"

"I love the fact of owners we on site and actually doing the work. They are very professional and get the job done in a very timely manner. I purchased a stamped patio 2 levels, added a fire pit along with an edge for planting flowers. It couldn't have turned out any more perfect than it did. I love It!!"

"We had a concrete sidewalk, back patio and driveway pad prepped and poured to replace our flagstone areas. L&M Excavation did an expert job throughout the hot long workdays. There were plenty of obstacles to navigate with large equipment and loads of materials but everything was put back in order by the end of the job. Definitely would recommend this crew for your concrete projects."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.

By grading and compacting the base soil, ensuring proper drainage and stability.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.

Asphalt dries and cures best between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This range allows moisture to evaporate quickly without causing the asphalt to cool too fast, which can negatively affect the drying process. However, keep in mind that other weather conditions can also affect curing and drying times, such as precipitation and humidity.
