"Parker and his crew did an outstanding job replacing our old driveway with new asphalt. From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and easy to work with. The team worked quickly without cutting corners, and their efficiency really stood out. They kept the area clean, communicated clearly throughout the process, and delivered results that exceeded our expectations. The new driveway looks fantastic, and you can tell they take pride in their work. I highly recommend Parker and his guys to anyone looking for quality workmanship and a smooth, stress-free experience."

"Jamison and his crew were absolutely awesome to work with. I would and already have recommended them! Once they started the job they worked until it was finished and cleaned up after. They poured 43 yards of concrete, with 50% of it colored and stamped for our driveway and patio. They were very meticulous around the screens and covered our home with plastic to ensure there was no splatter. They were also very meticulous with the underground drain system for our driveway. The kept us informed the whole way through so we knew what was happening and what to expect. Our slopped driveway turned out awesome and our patio is stunning!"

"I had my driveway seal coated and the results were excellent. The crew took their time with surface prep, cleaned everything thoroughly, and applied a smooth, even coat with no streaks or thin areas. The sealer they used is clearly high?quality it dried uniformly and gave the driveway a clean, refreshed look without being overly shiny. You can tell they care about long?term durability, not just appearance. Professional, efficient, and detail?oriented from start to finish."
Asphalt dries and cures best between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This range allows moisture to evaporate quickly without causing the asphalt to cool too fast, which can negatively affect the drying process. However, keep in mind that other weather conditions can also affect curing and drying times, such as precipitation and humidity.
Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.
Asphalt edging secures the sides of your driveway to prevent crumbling and cracking over time. Most driveways have edges with a 45-degree grading. This helps transfer some of the stress from the asphalt to the ground underneath. If your driveway doesn’t have proper edging, the pressure from your car may break down the edges over time.
An asphalt overlay or top coat costs between $3 and $7 per square foot. For a standard, single-car driveway that’s 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, that’s a total of between $600 and $1,400. For a two-car driveway, you’re looking at a total of between $1,200 and $3,000.
An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.
