How soon can I drive on an asphalt driveway after installation?

• <div><p>Give your driveway at least 24 to 48 hours to dry. After 72 hours, you can walk or park on it, but tread lightly. It might look solid, but it’s still soft and can be easily damaged. It can take 30 days to a year for an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-curing-time.htm#:~:text=Don't%20use%20the%20new,from%2024%20to%2072%20hours.">asphalt driveway to fully cure</a>, so avoid parking extremely heavy vehicles on it. For the best results, always check with your contractor for their advice. Different mixes and weather conditions can affect curing times, so it’s worth waiting longer if it means a driveway that lasts.</p></div>

Q: What driveway is the easiest to maintain?

• <div><p>Overall, a paver driveway is considered the easiest to maintain because homeowners are able to do <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-repair-should-you-patch-resurface-or-replace.htm">driveway repair</a> one piece at a time without impacting the rest of the driveway. Unlike paved options, paver driveways contain individual stones that aren't physically connected. By comparison, you may need to reseal or redo a full asphalt driveway if just one portion sustains a significant crack.</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: Do asphalt driveways crack?

• <div><p>Like all driveway materials, asphalt can crack in the wrong conditions and with age. Many things can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-concrete-and-asphalt-driveway-cracks.htm">cause asphalt to crack,</a> including shifting soil or settling under the foundation. Other common causes are driving oversized vehicles on the asphalt, tree roots, and using rock salt during the snowy season. Proper installation and sealing the driveway every 10 years can help prevent cracks.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a roadway and a street?

• <div><p>Think of the street as a way to capture all the elements on either side of the road, including the road&mdash;a street encompasses the homes or other buildings, the trees, and the road of a given area as defined by the beginning and end of the street on a map. A roadway, however, is the component of the street where cars travel.</p></div>

Called up Nick from A1 to come and pressure wash the driveway after a long winter of abuse. Couldnâ t believe how great it turned out. Will be calling for all pressure washing needs.

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.
