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 much surface does one ton of asphalt cover?

• <div><p>At a depth of two inches, a ton of asphalt covers around 80 to 100 square feet. However, the thicker the asphalt, the less surface area it will cover. That’s why measuring correctly is essential when estimating asphalt needs and costs to ensure you get enough material to cover your entire driveway, patio, or other asphalt surface.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain commercial asphalt?

• <div><p>Regular sealing, crack filling, and professional inspections help extend pavement lifespan and prevent costly repairs.</p></div>

Q: Which asphalt is the best for a driveway?

• <div><p>A solid driveway starts with the right asphalt mix, and for most homes, dense-graded hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the most recommended. It&rsquo;s both durable and flexible, making it a reliable choice for residential use. A properly compacted 2-3 inch layer on a well-prepared crushed stone base will hold up for years. In areas with harsh winters or scorching summers, a slightly modified mix can help prevent cracking and rutting. No matter the climate, quality installation is just as important as the material itself, so hiring an experienced contractor ensures a smooth, long-lasting driveway built to last.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals customize asphalt surfaces?

• <div><p>Yes, with colored finishes and decorative stamping for a personalized touch.</p></div>

Couple years still waiting for partial refund. Said they would replace if driveway would not hold up after horrible install. Concrete already cracking and breaking up â ¦. Very poor quality customer service and they do not back up their work.

Our driveway was a nightmare! We have natural springs in our hillside along the driveway and the water has washed it away over the years. J&H rerouted the water, graded, paved and widened our driveway. Then they put on 80 tons of gravel. Their work was above and beyond our expectations.

He was awesome. Our driveway is hard to find but he found it, but it took him a bit. He had no problems answering our questions. We had some safety concerns and he said that they were really not a problem. He was very, very knowledgeable and forthcoming with information.

"The results went beyond my expectations. Very professional crew, nobody ever stood around leaning on a shovel, everyone new what they needed to do and work diligently and professionally. They came to the job site well equipped and prepared my drive by removing all damaged asphalt then proceeded to lay down the final coat giving me a a drive beyond what I was expecting. It is too late in the year to schedule them to put a sealer on but they have schedule me to come back in the spring, I don't need to worry about contacting them, it's all set up. Nice to find a contractor that does what they say and even goes beyond what I was expecting. Thanks"
