"Our driveway was paved about 2 years ago. Since then we've seen sinking in a couple places from a couple hours of a truck being parked on it and cracking along the bottom slopped edge. We were told initially that it took 2 years to fully harden. When we called in to complain about the above, we were then told it took 3 years to harden. No underlay was used. The contract did say they would use it if deemed necessary. I asked the foreman at the time of the work and he said it was not needed. I regret not insisting on it. I wish I knew more then than I do now. But for a more robust asphalt it should be done in two layers. They use one layer and, as stated before, no underlay. I regret believing that they used "road grade" paving as I was told. When talking to the owner the last time, he was more concerned with defending his work than with figuring out how to fix the issues. Recommend researching more how asphalt should be laid than I initially did. I suspect we'll need a resurfacing in a few years."

Patios questions, answered by experts
Building a new staircase can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the design, materials, and whether an old one needs to be demolished. Straight staircases are quicker to build than curved or spiral staircases, which require more intricate design and precise measurements.
When hiring a concrete contractor, you should seek someone with proven experience, proper licensing, and insurance. You should also check reviews online, talk to references, and view past project photos. Remember that reliable contractors communicate openly and have an expert understanding of local building codes. You’ll also want to ensure that the contractor specializes in the specific type of concrete work you want, whether a driveway or tinted concrete flooring.
In many cases, you will need a building permit for your patio, but it depends on the type of patio. Generally speaking, any improvements to your land considered “permanent” will require a permit. Since a concrete patio is a permanent foundation, you will need a permit. On the other hand, a paver patio or flagstone patio usually sits over gravel and sand, are considered “temporary” improvements, and rarely require permits. To be safe, you should always ask your building department or your patio company if a permit will be necessary.
It depends on whether you’re looking at residential or commercial buildings. For residential buildings, the 2018 International Residential Code asks for a maximum riser (or rise) height of 7 3/4 inches and a minimum tread depth (or run) of 10 inches.
For fixed stairs in commercial buildings, OSHA requires a rise between 6 and 7.5 inches, with a run between 10 and 14 inches. The standards are different for spiral staircases.
If you don’t put gravel under concrete, the concrete can crack, sink, bow, or crumble. Even the concrete forming process will not go as smoothly if you are working directly on the soil or bare bedrock. The lack of a proper gravel layer can also lead to drainage issues below your slab, leading to water issues throughout your lawn and around your foundation.
