"The gentleman who provided the service for my driveway was Keith. He came all the way out from Ft Worth to Van Alstyne ( over an one hour drive) to discuss my situation. I had a dirt driveway that was not level and would retain water after a good rain. Keith was able to build the driveway up and level it. The finished product looks great. A very fair price for the quality of work. If you have any driveway needs I would give Keith a call. You will not be disappointed with their work."
"Jimmy was extremely helpful with what I needed for my drive & gave me the best options. He & his team were prompt & professional. I love the look of my new driveway!"
"The contractor was always available and responded quickly to questions and to provide information to help identify best options to create optimum results without unnecessary expense. He then worked with the Township to fully meet code requirements within those same goals. The site team worked in a coordinated and cooperative manner to produce a functional and visually satisfying final product. They paid close attention to project production and finishing details as well as respect for the surrounding area."
"I have a permeable driveway surfaced with StabiliGrid and chip stone. The initial installation was done without adequate compacting of the base. Country Roads removed the grid, compacted the base, and reinstalled the grid. We were able to accomplish this without needing any additional material. Driveway works great!"
"Chad and his team deserve the excellent workmanship reviews associated with them. I wanted to highlight the professional and personal integrity of them as well. This was displayed in communications ahead of time for an appointment and especially the man s word and handshake method in honorable business practices. I highly recommend Tree Solutions & Chad who provided their excellent services for a fair and reasonable rate."
"This was a driveway extension. Not only was the quote better than four others, the customer service was outstanding and professional. They were on the project the next day and didnâ t stop until it was perfect and done. No mess left behind and a beautiful driveway extension. I would certainly recommend them."
"The attention to detail was excellent! Made sure they did the job right and my driveway was level before they left!! Went above and beyond in my opinion! Super nice family to work with and will recommend them to all my friends/family!"
"Guys did a great job. On time and did exactly what was expected of them. Maybe a little more effort on clean up but very minor. Great job. Would definitely recommend. Thanks."
Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.
New asphalt goes through two stages: drying and curing. Drying typically takes 24 to 72 hours, after which the surface is solid enough for light use like walking or careful driving. While you may be able to park on it after 72 hours, the surface is still soft and should be treated gently. Full curing is a much longer process, taking anywhere from 30 days to a full year for the asphalt to reach maximum strength. During this extended curing period, the asphalt is susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles, sharp objects, and high temperatures. Factors like weather, the specific asphalt mix, and application thickness all influence drying and curing times. For the most accurate timeline and to ensure the longevity of your new asphalt, it is always best to consult with your installation contractor for their specific recommendations.
Recycled asphalt is not better than gravel, but can be a good alternative. It is inexpensive, but not as low-cost as gravel, and doesn’t tend to last as long. Recycled asphalt isn’t as dusty as gravel and is more environmentally friendly. The black look can be something that homeowners prefer. No matter what, ensure you choose an experienced recycled asphalt contractor.
Since it has a smoother surface using a mixture of finer rock and sand, 41A tends to be the best asphalt grade for a driveway, especially for residential driveways.
