Customers say: Super punctual

"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."

"What a fantastic owner and crew. I have a difficult driveway due to it's pitch with rain it's a disaster! EPK continued to help me with the problem and returned a few times to insure it was perfect, so many companies before them just took my money and still left me with the problem. I would HIGHLY recommend the company !"

"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."

"Awesome! I needed to widen the driveway for 2 cars wide. Not only did the price include that work, but also the cost to dig up and replace the existing driveway. Now I have a solid double-wide driveway approximate 20' x 40'. Bill and his team were efficient, professional and friendly."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

New asphalt typically needs 24 to 72 hours to dry before it can handle light foot traffic and careful driving. Although it may appear solid after a few days, the full curing process, where the asphalt reaches its peak strength, takes much longer—generally from 30 days to a year.

During this extended curing time, the surface remains relatively soft and can be damaged by heavy vehicles, sharp objects, or high temperatures. To protect your investment, it's best to avoid parking heavy machinery on the asphalt until it has fully cured.

The exact time required for drying and curing depends on several factors, including the weather, the specific asphalt mix, and its thickness. For the most accurate advice tailored to your situation, consult with your asphalt contractor.

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.

At a depth of two inches, a ton of asphalt covers around 80 to 100 square feet. However, the thicker the asphalt, the less surface area it will cover. That’s why measuring correctly is essential when estimating asphalt needs and costs to ensure you get enough material to cover your entire driveway, patio, or other asphalt surface.

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.

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.
