Q: How many types of asphalt are there?

• <div><p>Instead of a set number of types, asphalt comes in variations designed for different needs. Some are categorized by temperature&mdash;hot mix, warm mix, and cold mix. Others are sorted by composition, like dense-graded, gap-graded (such as Stone Matrix Asphalt), porous, and mastic asphalt. There are also modified versions with added compounds like polymers, rubber, or emulsions. Instead of focusing on a number, it may be more useful to understand how contractors customize asphalt for durability, climate, and traffic conditions.</p></div>

Q: How often should new asphalt be sealed after installation?

• <div><p>Sealing coat asphalt after 6-12 months and then every 2-3 years is recommended.</p></div>

Q: Why do you need to reseal your driveway?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-concrete-and-asphalt-driveway-cracks.htm">What causes driveways to crack</a> can vary by driveway material. Sealcoating with the right formula creates a protective &quot;shell&quot; over a driveway. Resealing a driveway on schedule helps to preserve its lifespan substantially by keeping it protected against damage from UV rays, motor oil, chemicals, hail, rain, snow, and more. If you don't reseal your driveway, this will lead to brittleness, cracking, and potholes that can eventually cause your driveway to fall apart.</p></div>

Q: When's the best time to winterize a driveway?

• <div><p>Since freeze-thaw cycles throughout the winter months can damage your driveway, it's best to winterize your driveway in the late fall before the first freeze hits. Doing so will help to protect your driveway from damage throughout the winter season. Plus, drier, warmer weather makes applying and curing sealant much easier.</p></div>

It took about week to complete. Sanso left allowed me to break up the old sidewalk and knocked off 200 dollars on the price. They even added a french drain to my driveway to help with rain run off. The new sidewalk and driveway looks great. I would use them again.
