"Lige Smith was excellent to work with. He came out did a site survey to seal my driveway and 10x14 parking extension. He provided a competitive quote vs. other contractors and was hired. He and crew came out within a week and performed the work. They did an outstanding job and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get driveway seal or a parking extension added to current driveway. Lige and staff were very professional and kept me informed during all steps of the sealing/paving process. To ensure correct & proper curing of the driveway & sealing they provided an overall estimate of when to drive on the pavement...Kudos to LA Driveways!"

"Excellent - James was on time, had good workers, and cleaned up after himself. The one day he couldn't come as planned he called and told us and returned the very next day. It was a pleasure to work with him. The quality of the work is outstanding and we would even be willing to send pictures or let a prospect see his work.Since then he has done some roof repair and he's going to rebuild our brick walkway. I tust him enough I didn't get a quote on the walkway."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.

Driveway paving costs around $4,500 on average, but depending on many factors, you could pay anywhere from $2,500 to $6,600 or more. The size of your driveway will usually be the most significant factor, with more square footage increasing your costs. You can expect to pay between $2 and $15 per square foot for paving services. Some other factors that play a role include the following:

  • Quality of the materials

  • Contractor’s experience and expertise

  • Site preparation and grading, if necessary

  • Layout of your driveway

To maintain their strength, asphalt driveways and parking lots need to be sealcoated once every two to five years. You may also need to reapply paint striping every few years as it fades to ensure drivers can safely navigate the parking lot.

An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.
