"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

Your city or county will have guidelines about the minimum and maximum width and length of private roads. The average private road is 12 feet wide, and length, of course, depends on your property. Requirements also depend on the amount of traffic and types of vehicles your road experiences. Check with local ordinances before planning a road on your property.

Instead of a set number of types, asphalt comes in variations designed for different needs. Some are categorized by temperature—hot mix, warm mix, and cold mix. Others are sorted by composition, like dense-graded, gap-graded (such as Stone Matrix Asphalt), porous, and mastic asphalt. There are also modified versions with added compounds like polymers, rubber, or emulsions. Instead of focusing on a number, it may be more useful to understand how contractors customize asphalt for durability, climate, and traffic conditions.

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.

Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.

The choice between asphalt and concrete depends on your priorities, budget, and climate.

Concrete is generally more durable, lasting up to 50 years with minimal upkeep, and offers more customization options like staining and stamping, which can add more to a home's value. However, it is more expensive upfront and can be prone to cracking in cold climates where water can freeze and expand.

Asphalt is typically cheaper and quicker to install and is easier to repair. It performs better in colder climates. However, it requires more maintenance, including regular resealing, has a shorter lifespan, and can get hot and sticky in intense sunlight.

Ultimately, if durability and long-term value are key, concrete is often the better choice. If upfront cost and performance in cold weather are more important, asphalt may be preferable.
