"My driveway is almost a football field long, Asphalt Contractors gave me the best quote from five estimates and worked with me for a convenient date to fit my schedule, how could I go wrong! Asphalt Contractors is a family owned and operated business, no hired laborers who don't care. I was greeted by three of the families sons who were efficient, professional and polite. My requests prior to the job were listened to and accomplished by the young men with ease. After the job was finished I was given tips on how to help my driveway cure, In three years I will be calling asphalt Contractors again to keep my driveway looking new,,,,,,,,, Thank you Peter, Jack and Mark,,,, Your father should be proud of your talents! Dave & Kathy, Fort Loudon PA."

"They did and extension to our driveway to make for and easier exit and then cut in a parking area at the side of the road. Immanuel and his crew arrived on time as promised and did all the work in a very neat and orderly manner. The asphalt pavement looks great and the work was finished ahead of schedule and is guaranteed. Additionally, the crew was very professional and we will have them do additional work in the future."

"After soliciting proposals from several asphalt paving companies, not all of which even bothered to respond, we settled on Rafferty Paving.  Sam was responsive, showed up on time, and took a great deal of time to explain what he felt needed to be done to repair/repave our driveway and why certain things needed to be done. 
Sam stated up front that he wasn?t the cheapest, which is true, but we were very impressed with Sam?s detailed description of the work he would perform, and particularly impressed with Sam?s attention to detail, not just from a functional perspective but also from an aesthetic perspective; he noticed issues that others did not. 
In addition to repaving the driveway and replacing sections of it, where necessary, Sam created a paved parking area; importantly, he addressed water runoff issues that had been degrading our driveway and I?m pleased to say that those runoff fixes seem to be working beautifully.  The project was fairly large due to length and grade of our driveway, but Sam and his crew completed the job in two days; we were thrilled with the final product.  We found Sam to be knowledgeable, professional and attentive to our concerns.  His crew worked hard and did a great job of cleaning up after the work was done. 
While the proposal we got from Sam was the highest in terms of price, I?m confident that the additional cost was worth every penny in terms of quality, and product delivered.  We intend to use Rafferty Paving to seal our driveway next year, and would most definitely recommend their services to customers who are looking for a first class finished product.

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

You’ll first need to install a base underneath your pavers for extra stability and drainage. Otherwise, the pavers can sink into the ground, and you’ll have to reinstall them. Use a base gravel layer of 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 10 to 12 inches for driveways. Compact your gravel layer every 2 to 4 inches so it’s nice and solid. After you install your gravel base, apply a 1-inch layer of sand on top.

The recommended minimum amount for a paver base is 4 inches. From there, it depends on the kind of traffic the pavers will see and the current soil conditions. Two inches of paver base won’t create the amount of stability and support that pavers need to remain securely in place over time.

Pavers will crack in a fire pit if they are made of the wrong materials. Be sure to use kiln-fired brick paver stones when building your backyard fire pit. You can also purchase a fire pit project kit, which will sometimes come with fire-safe pavers, to help you avoid the guessing game of buying pavers separately.

The layer of polymeric sand under the pavers plus the polymeric sand that gets swept into the joints between your pavers holds them in place in a few ways. For one, the gritty texture of the sand helps lock the pavers together. Polymeric sand also contains bonding agents that get activated by water. Polymeric sand will take between 24 and 48 hours to fully cure, so do not walk on your paver walkway before this time.

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.
