How do I know if the asphalt is fully cured?

• <div><p>When asphalt cures, it typically changes from a very dark black hue to a lighter, more matte gray color. Cured asphalt also won’t be tacky or sticky to the touch or emit any odors from the asphalt mix. Additionally, the surface of fully cured asphalt won’t deform under any pressure.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include sealing?

• <div><p>Yes, sealing is included to prevent staining and moisture absorption, depending on the stone type.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect sealing costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on lot size, sealant quality, labor, and any additional surface preparation.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between tar and bitumen?

• <div><p>Though they may look similar, tar and bitumen come from different sources. Bitumen is a petroleum product&mdash;extracted during crude oil refining&mdash;and is mostly made up of hydrocarbons. Tar comes from burning down organic materials like coal or wood. Bitumen is strictly oil-based, while tar is a mix of compounds from natural sources. Both are used as binders in paving; however, bitumen is the standard for today&rsquo;s asphalt. Tar use has mostly faded out of road construction.</p></div>

Q: Should I seal asphalt before it’s fully cured?

• <div><p>Yes, you can seal asphalt before it&rsquo;s fully cured but you should wait to do so until at least three months after installing it. Otherwise, the seal coat can trap the asphalt&rsquo;s oils and chemicals, preventing it from fully hardening. This can lead to a weaker surface that&rsquo;s vulnerable to damage. But if you wait at least three months, applying a seal coat can extend its life by protecting it from water, UV rays, and other damaging elements.</p></div>

Called up Nick from A1 to come and pressure wash the driveway after a long winter of abuse. Couldnâ t believe how great it turned out. Will be calling for all pressure washing needs.

Antonio and his crew are wonderful to work with. They redid our driveway retaining walls with a beautiful stacked natural fieldstone. Communication of the scope and budget was very clear and there were no surprises. The workmanship is top notch. I highly recommend Bolani Masonry.
