Q: What’s the difference between asphalt and blacktop?

• <div><p>The main difference between asphalt and blacktop is that asphalt has a lower ratio of bitumen&mdash;a low-grade tar-like crude oil&mdash;than blacktop. While blacktop is heated to 300 degrees or more, hot-mix asphalt is heated to a lower temperature, typically between 275 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Consult an asphalt driveway professional about which type of material is the best fit for your future <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-an-asphalt-driveway-last.htm">asphalt driveway</a>.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if your driveway needs to be sealed?

• <div><p>A good rule for all homeowners is to seal every driveway to protect it. Wait at least three months to seal an asphalt driveway and one month to seal a concrete driveway. You know it&rsquo;s time to reseal your driveway when it shows obvious signs of wear and tear. It may appear as fading or discolored asphalt, small cracks, and oil stains. If you notice that one area of your driveway seems to dry slower than others, it&rsquo;s time to reseal.</p></div>

Q: How often do you need to seal a driveway?

• <div><p>You should plan on sealing your driveway about <b>once every five years</b>, although you should plan to do it once every three years if your area experiences frequent rain or snow. Sealing your driveway protects it from moisture, UV rays, and chemicals from your car, like motor oil and antifreeze. If you find that your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-driveway-stain-removal.htm">driveway stains</a> easily or appears to be cracking or fading, you may want to schedule a sealing service regardless of when you last sealed it.</p></div>

Q: How long does driveway crack filler last?

• <div><p>In general, crack fillers last for about two years on average. That timeline can be shorter if you have extremely harsh winters or longer if you live in a mild climate. Luckily, this product is pretty affordable at the hardware store (about <b>$10 to $30</b>) and easy to DIY, so redoing it every few years shouldn&rsquo;t be too much of a hassle. </p></div>

Q: Is it more expensive to maintain a concrete or asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-driveway-repair-cost.htm">cost of asphalt driveway repair</a> is usually similar to the cost of average concrete driveway repairs, but maintaining asphalt tends to be less expensive on a per-instance basis. For example, resurfacing asphalt costs about $1 less per square foot, but it doesn&rsquo;t last as long as concrete and will need more frequent repairs. An asphalt driveway lasts 20 to 25 years, but a well-maintained concrete driveway can last twice as long, so the maintenance costs and timeline even out. </p></div>

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.
