When should I replace my asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>Even with regular maintenance, most driveways don’t last much longer than 30 years. Alligator cracking is a clear warning sign that your driveway’s foundation is failing, and cracks that are deep and wide can let water in, causing more damage. Standing water is another red flag. If your driveway doesn’t drain properly, it’s going to degrade slowly. Finally, if you’re seeing dips or uneven patches, that’s a sign the base layer or soil is shifting. If these issues pop up, it’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-repair-should-you-patch-resurface-or-replace.htm#:~:text=Replacing%20the%20driveway%20is%20necessary,20%20years%20with%20proper%20maintenance.">time to replace your driveway</a>.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for asphalt to dry?

• <div><p>On average, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-curing-time.htm">asphalt dries within 24 to 72 hours</a>, meaning it&rsquo;s solid enough for light traffic&mdash;walking and careful driving. Full curing&mdash;when asphalt reaches peak strength&mdash;can take anywhere from three months to a year. During that time, heavy loads and sharp objects can leave marks. Weather, asphalt mix, and thickness all affect how quickly it dries and cures. If you want your asphalt to last, treat it gently until it&rsquo;s fully cured. For the best results, check with a professional asphalt contractor for their advice.</p></div>

Q: What is asphalt made of?

• <div><p>Asphalt is made of aggregate materials (sand, rocks, and gravel) and bitumen, a viscous, petroleum-based, waterproof substance. These materials are mixed together at extremely high temperatures to form asphalt.</p></div>

Q: Is milled asphalt eco-friendly?

• <div><p>Yes, using recycled asphalt millings is an eco-friendly alternative compared to concrete. Millings are reclaimed pieces of gravel that are recycled into aggregate that can be used on driveways, patios, walkways, basketball courts, tennis courts, and more.</p></div>

Q: What is the best grade of asphalt?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no single best asphalt grade&mdash;it all comes down to where and how it&rsquo;s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional&rsquo;s input is always a smart move before making a decision.</p></div>
