Do asphalt companies also do tar and chip paving?

• <div><p>Many asphalt companies have experience with tar and chip paving, but not all. The process is unique enough—and not incredibly common enough—that you may have to look around for a tar and chip specialist. However, speaking with a driveway company is a great place to start, especially if they have experience with multiple materials.</p></div>

Q: What are the parts of the driveway approach?

• <div><p>A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain. </p></div>

Q: Will hardscaping increase the value of my home?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hardscape-features-bring-value-landscape.htm">hardscaping features bring value to your landscape</a>, and they can even increase the value of your home. Hardscaping works best alongside professional landscaping. According to a survey by the National Association of Realtors and the National Association of Landscape Professionals, researchers found that hardscape upgrades, landscape upgrades, landscape management, and lawn care services are the top four outdoor projects that add value to a property for resale.</p></div>

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: Can you pave over a cracked asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>If your driveway is cracked, you can repave it with a process called asphalt overlay. Overlay is more cost-effective than a full replacement but is better suited for minor cracks and issues. If you have major cracks or other problems like water pooling, asphalt overlay isn&rsquo;t your best bet. Plus, paving over a cracked driveway only extends the lifetime by about 10 years, whereas replacing it would start the clock over completely to give you up to 30 years.</p></div>
