"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."

"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."

"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"

"Amazing experience from beginning to end! Andrew was very professional, I was able to get a quote right away, he accepts & reply’s to calls or texts which was convenient. It was scheduled on a day that worked best for me and the job was completed on that day. It looks so good and next time my driveway needs it I know who to call! ?"

"

It went VERY WELL! We'd gotten an initial quote early in the spring and then revisited the idea with him during the summer before going ahead. We were both flexible in terms of time frames which made it easy to work in some additional landscaping at a reasonable additional charge. Most importantly, Valter was very accommodating with my erecting a decorative concrete block retaining wall around the base material before the final pour of the driveway slab. His crew alternated work days around my weekend efforts. I couldn't be happier with the final result.

"You wonâ t find a more honest, more professional or more skilled excavator/operator than Matt Mello, owner of South Shore excavation. Matt has now done two big jobs for me, the first being to rip out the old floor in our 4-car garage and install a new floor, the second being to dig up/expose and waterproof the garage foundation. In both cases, Mattâ s pricing was extremely fair, he delivered 100% on his promises, finished the work in a timely manner and left an immaculate job site every day. I really canâ t recommend Matt Mello & South Shore Excavation highly enough. If youâ re looking for a true professional who does what he says heâ s going to do, when he says heâ s going to do it, look no further."

Asphalt Driveways FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you should resurface or replace your asphalt driveway heavily depends on its condition. If the foundation is solid and the damage is minor, resurfacing is your best bet because it’s more affordable and faster than replacing the driveway. But if your driveway has foundational problems and/or severe damage, like large, deep cracks and potholes, then it makes more sense to replace it. 

When asphalt cures, it typically changes from a very dark black hue to a lighter, more matte gray color. Cured asphalt also won’t be tacky or sticky to the touch or emit any odors from the asphalt mix. Additionally, the surface of fully cured asphalt won’t deform under any pressure.

In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.

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.

There’s no single best asphalt grade—it all comes down to where and how it’s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional’s input is always a smart move before making a decision.
