How soon can I drive on an asphalt driveway after installation?

• <div><p>Give your driveway at least 24 to 48 hours to dry. After 72 hours, you can walk or park on it, but tread lightly. It might look solid, but it’s still soft and can be easily damaged. It can take 30 days to a year for an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-curing-time.htm#:~:text=Don't%20use%20the%20new,from%2024%20to%2072%20hours.">asphalt driveway to fully cure</a>, so avoid parking extremely heavy vehicles on it. For the best results, always check with your contractor for their advice. Different mixes and weather conditions can affect curing times, so it’s worth waiting longer if it means a driveway that lasts.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between chip seal and asphalt?

• <div><p>Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.</p></div>

Q: What is the minimum angle for a driveway?

• <div><p>Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope&mdash;anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway&rsquo;s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete more durable than asphalt?

• <div><p>In terms of durability, concrete driveways can last more than <b>50 years</b> when properly maintained, compared to the typical <b>30 years</b> for an asphalt driveway. However, the durability depends on the climate, base material and thickness, and thickness of the concrete or asphalt used. The longevity of concrete or asphalt driveways also depends on how well it&rsquo;s maintained and the amount of wear and tear it endures.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material to use for a driveway?

• <div><p>Concrete is typically the best material for a driveway if you&rsquo;re looking for longevity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance. But, it&rsquo;s not ideal for areas with annual freeze-frost cycles, nor is it the most attractive option&mdash;although you can get it stamped or painted. If your location is consistently below freezing, asphalt may be a better choice. </p></div>

Terrible ending. It was beautiful at first. Then within 6 months my 150 yard, $5000, white stone driveway washed out into the street. The owner, Marcus never returned my calls for assistance.

McFly came by as requested and gave us a very competitive bid. The work was done on time and to our satisfaction. They communicated very well with us and did a walk thru at the end of the job. We highly recommend McFly for pressure washing the house, driveway and sidewalks.

The driveway looks great. They couldn't help work being delayed because of rain. However, I do think the workers could have replaced my drain spout, hose, and bricks I had around flower boxes. They had plenty of time the last afternoon.

We have been paving St.louis and surrounding areas for 30 years. We are a family ran and operated business. We cover all asphalt needs. Give us a call today!

"Great. They addressed all our concerns about grading water away from the house. After multiple rains the grading has worked perfectly. Paid particular attention to creating clean and straight demarcation lines where asphalt met grass, essentially expanding width of the driveway 6 inches and created nice "flares" at the entrance to the driveway where the grass had been worn down. Before, the driveway looked like the hodge-podge of previous layers (two to three) of asphalt it was with very poor drainage. They dug up and carried away tons of old asphalt and graded. Now it looks neat and "buttoned up" as they would say. Friends of ours saw the completed job and had the guys come over to their home to get a quote to do their driveway."
