"Kevin and his crew did good work. He has great promptness and communication. He always lets you know the current progress of the project voluntarily. He expanded my driveway with a concrete slab. He also added a concrete skirt behind my house and added a cobble stone border around my current paver stones. The work looks clean and professional. I'm pleased with the final result."

"I wish there were more than 5 stars available! Due to the bad weather we have been having, it took a little while to get started, but once the job began, it could not have gone better. Eric and his crew arrived on the day promised and completely tore up the old driveway, expertly preparing the new base. They even went so far as to removed the old rocks and ledge that were underlying the original surface, to make sure the new driveway would be perfect. The next morning, they were back and poured a new asphalt driveway, sloping it expertly to insure proper water drainage. I even got a follow-up phone call the next day to make sure I was satisfied with the work. I am more than pleased with the way my new driveway looks. It was expertly done and looks terrific. I can't recommend Eric and his crew highly enough. Well done, guys!"

"JRM was very easy to work with - we did all the project discussion and planning by phone/text using photos and Googlemap images, which saved time. They were able to do the project within 10 days of our initial discussion; the date and price were as quoted and the walkway looks great."

"Thomas was very responsive and knowledgeable. He was patient with me and fully explained was he was going to and why. He repaired a sucken section, filed the cracks in asphalt and sealed the entire driveway. Thomas did what he said he was going to do in a timely fashion and quality was excellent. He was up front and there were no surprises and he did not push to add anything extra. He pointed out what was needed up front and completed the job when he said he would. I would not hesitate to contact him again"

Asphalt Driveways FAQs, answered by experts

Like all driveway materials, asphalt can crack in the wrong conditions and with age. Many things can cause asphalt to crack, including shifting soil or settling under the foundation. Other common causes are driving oversized vehicles on the asphalt, tree roots, and using rock salt during the snowy season. Proper installation and sealing the driveway every 10 years can help prevent cracks.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt. Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it’s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.

You can expect your asphalt pavement to last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, or 25 years on average. The life expectancy of your asphalt driveway depends on the climate, the amount of traffic, and how well you maintain it. While you can’t necessarily control some of these factors, you can control the amount of maintenance effort you put into your driveway. 

To prevent your asphalt from deteriorating prematurely, you should follow a good maintenance routine involving regular cleaning, reparation work, and resealing.

The dimensions of a driveway apron vary based on local building codes, the width of your driveway, and the distance between the driveway and the road. On average, aprons range from 12 to 24 feet wide and 8 to 18 feet long. Typically, the end of the apron connected to the driveway matches its width—such as 10 to 12 feet for a single-car driveway—while the end at the street flares out to allow cars to turn in and out more easily. In some areas, you may not be responsible for the portion of the apron that extends beyond the sidewalk, but this depends on local laws.
