Q: Can I pave my own driveway?

• <div><p>While paving a driveway is possible to do as a DIY project, we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Hiring a driveway professional to pave it will ensure that your driveway looks neat and clean and lasts for years to come, and it will also prevent a weak driveway and, potentially, damage to your foundation. Paving a driveway requires heavy machinery, and while you can rent the equipment needed, operating it close to your garage slab or around your home&rsquo;s foundation can crack it and lead to structural issues. </p></div>

Q: What are alternatives to a gravel driveway?

• <div><p>The most common alternatives to a gravel driveway are concrete, asphalt, brick, and permeable pavers. Concrete and asphalt are the two more affordable alternatives, while the intricate design options of brick and permeable pavers make installation significantly more expensive. Similar to gravel, concrete isn&rsquo;t the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-driveway-material-for-cold-weather.htm">best driveway material for cold weather</a>, as frigid temperatures can cause it to crack. Alternatively, asphalt is sensitive to heat, and driveways can become soft in areas with high temperatures and sun exposure. While brick and permeable pavers give homeowners curb appeal, the latter offers the added functionality of preventing flooding and reducing runoff water.</p></div>

Q: How long does recycled asphalt take to harden?

• <div><p>It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It&rsquo;s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting. </p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to build your own driveway?

• <div><p>The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-ideas.htm">driveway ideas</a>. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to install a heated driveway?

• <div><p>Whether it's worth it to install a heated driveway depends on how often you'll use it, your lifestyle, and your budget. If you live in a mild climate with little snowfall, then installing a built-in heated driveway system may not be worth it. If you live in a region that experiences mild snowfall, then a portable mat could work better. However, if you live in a region with heavy snowfall, it makes sense to invest in a built-in heated driveway. </p></div>

Pete's Absolute Asphalt paved my driveway. They were on time and on point. A crew of 10 showed up and completed the job to my satisfaction (and Pete's!) Pete was there to supervise the entire process. The job turned out wonderful and I would certainly use his services again, and...
