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: What is the least expensive way to pave a driveway?

• <div><p>Gravel is the least expensive <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-driveways.htm">driveway type</a>, costing between <b>$1 and $3 per square foot</b>. That said, you&rsquo;ll likely need to add new gravel filling once or twice a year which can add up in additional costs over time. In addition, be prepared to regularly rake the gravel into place to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-make-your-gravel-driveway-look-rock-star.htm">keep your gravel driveway looking its best</a>.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete more durable than asphalt?

• <div><p>In terms of durability, concrete driveways can last more than <b>50 years</b> when properly maintained, compared to the typical <b>30 years</b> for an asphalt driveway. However, the durability depends on the climate, base material and thickness, and thickness of the concrete or asphalt used. The longevity of concrete or asphalt driveways also depends on how well it&rsquo;s maintained and the amount of wear and tear it endures.</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>

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>

Pete's Absolute Asphalt paved my driveway. They were on time and on point. A crew of 10 showed up and completed the job to my satisfaction (and Pete's!) Pete was there to supervise the entire process. The job turned out wonderful and I would certainly use his services again, and...

Our old driveway was loose stone and had water runoff coming from the road. We were told the pavers would create a rise to divert the water. This wasn't done. After one year we had some heaving to the edges and lower area of the blacktop, mainly where the water would pool. They returned and...
