"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

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.

The cost to pour a driveway apron depends on the material and size. Concrete costs $3 to $10 per square foot, asphalt ranges from $2 to $5, and pavers are $5 to $15 per square foot. Additional expenses, like excavation, base material, and labor, can increase the total cost. For example, a standard 12x15-foot concrete apron could cost between $540 and $1,800, depending on local rates and additional work required. Always consult a local driveway paving contractor to get an accurate estimate tailored to your project.

When comparing installation costs, asphalt is often less expensive upfront than concrete. Asphalt prices typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, while concrete can range from $3 to $18 per square foot. However, long-term costs should also be considered. Concrete driveways generally last longer (up to twice as long) and require less maintenance, which can make them more affordable over their lifespan. While asphalt has a lower installation cost and is easier to repair, it requires more frequent maintenance, such as sealing, which can add up over time. Therefore, while concrete is more expensive initially, its durability may offset the cost in the long run.

Common alternatives to a gravel driveway include concrete, asphalt, brick, stone pavers, and permeable pavers. Concrete and asphalt are generally the most affordable options. However, concrete can be prone to cracking in cold climates, while asphalt may soften in areas with high heat and direct sun exposure. For enhanced curb appeal, brick, stone, and permeable pavers are popular choices, though their installation can be more expensive due to intricate designs. Stone pavers offer a natural look and are sometimes installed with gravel around them. Both permeable pavers and brick driveways provide excellent drainage, which helps prevent flooding and reduce water runoff.

Driveway aprons typically range between four and seven inches thick, though your town's building codes will likely have specific requirements. Additionally, you may need to add a layer of permeable aggregate in the excavation below your paved apron to ensure proper stormwater drainage.
