Is recycled asphalt better than gravel?

• <div><p>Recycled asphalt is not better than gravel, but can be a good alternative. It is inexpensive, but not as low-cost as gravel, and doesn’t tend to last as long. Recycled asphalt isn’t as dusty as gravel and is more environmentally friendly. The black look can be something that homeowners prefer. No matter what, ensure you choose an experienced recycled asphalt contractor. </p></div>

How long does it take to build a driveway?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-terms-know.htm">parts of the driveway</a>. 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.</p></div>

Q: Can you pave over an existing driveway?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to pave over an existing driveway depending on the existing condition and type of material you plan to use. Factors to consider include current driveway condition, compatibility of the new material, thickness, surface prep, and driveway height.</p></div>

Q: Why should I use asphalt for my outdoor basketball court?

• <div><p>Asphalt, which is stone mixed with tar, is the most common material for outdoor basketball courts because it&rsquo;s so sturdy and versatile. However, you don't have to use it: another option is polymeric rubber, which has shock pads that can prevent injury. This option is a little more expensive, ranging between <b>$16 and $25 per square foot</b>.</p><p>Materials used for indoor basketball courts, such as hardwoods, aren&rsquo;t really an option outdoors.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material to use for a driveway?

• <div><p>Concrete is typically the best material for a driveway if you&rsquo;re looking for longevity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance. But, it&rsquo;s not ideal for areas with annual freeze-frost cycles, nor is it the most attractive option&mdash;although you can get it stamped or painted. If your location is consistently below freezing, asphalt may be a better choice. </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.
