"I reached out to Muddy Driveways and Paving a few weeks back to get an estimate for paving my driveway. Previously the driveway was a combo of dirt, stone, grass and mud. The first thing that impressed me was Zack actually picked up the phone when I called. He came out the next day to give me an estimate. I had 4 other pavers give me estimates before Zack and he was by far the most detailed in his measurements and explained every in and out of the project. He spent at least an hour with me going over everything and consistently gave me real answers. He doesn't tell you only what you want to hear, he gives you the real deal and explains any possible hiccups that could occur. I booked the job a couple days later and my driveway was paved about 20 days after. Throughout the process communication was excellent. I knew when stone was getting delivered, equipment was being dropped off and when prep and paving would be completed. Zack and Jim were on site for the entire process. They have a great dynamic and work so well together. On prep day they walked me through everything, explained what they were doing and why, spray painted the outline of the driveway and asked me for my input. They stoned, graded and rolled on a Tuesday, and paved on Thursday. On paving day Zack and Jim did what they do best and produced a beautiful driveway. They communicated the entire time and asked me multiple times throughout the day if everything looked good and if I was happy. They took my requests and input seriously and did a phenomenal job. At the end of the day they cleaned up everything explained all of the do's and dont's of a new driveway. Money well spent is the best way to describe my new driveway. Do not hesitate to hire Zack and Jim to do your driveway. They will not disappoint."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs.

Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.

In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.

The driveway apron is a technical term referring to where a private driveway meets the public street. If there is a sidewalk in front of the house, the driveway apron is typically on the opposite side of the public sidewalk from the driveway itself.

The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt. Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it’s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.
