"Excellent. There was good communication with Ian. Job was completed in the timeframe that he said and my driveway looks great. Told me the process of repairing my driveway and gave me helpful hints while the cement dried. Ian was easy to work with and I felt confident that this job was in the right hands."

"Pohl"s Landscaping did an amazing job of putting river rocks around our pool. They started at 8:00 AM and finished at 10:00 AM. Our house is on a hill so it was not an easy job. The project looks exactly how we envisioned it. We will definitely recommend them to our friends and will surely use them again!"

"Job was done right, quickly and unbelievably on a Sunday before the heat wave. The reason I called was due to not being able to turn my mother’s air on. It was covered in poison ivy. John came in early to get the job done before the heat came in and mom is thrilled that her air is working……."

Asphalt Driveways FAQs, answered by experts

There’s no single best asphalt grade—it all comes down to where and how it’s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional’s input is always a smart move before making a decision.

While the specific timeline for building a driveway can vary based on driveway length and local weather conditions, the average concrete driveway can require several days to lay down all of the different parts of the driveway. The curing process may require you to avoid using your driveway for a week following construction. Heavier vehicles should be kept off of a new concrete driveway for several weeks. Building a gravel driveway may take just one to two days in total.

DIY is not recommended due to equipment and expertise requirements. Professional services ensure durability and proper grading.

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.

New asphalt typically needs 24 to 72 hours to dry before it can handle light foot traffic and careful driving. Although it may appear solid after a few days, the full curing process, where the asphalt reaches its peak strength, takes much longer—generally from 30 days to a year.

During this extended curing time, the surface remains relatively soft and can be damaged by heavy vehicles, sharp objects, or high temperatures. To protect your investment, it's best to avoid parking heavy machinery on the asphalt until it has fully cured.

The exact time required for drying and curing depends on several factors, including the weather, the specific asphalt mix, and its thickness. For the most accurate advice tailored to your situation, consult with your asphalt contractor.
