"Billy responded to my request for an estimate immediately and work was scheduled within 3 work days. O. Cooper was one of three estimates obtained and they had the most competitive price. They arrived on time and worked quickly, but efficiently. They prepped the area, removing weeds and trimming grass along the driveway. The quality of their work was excellent, they diligently filled multiple cracks in my large driveway. The sealant was applied evenly and thoroughly. They cleaned up the area before departing."

"Our asphalt driveway is 25 years old. I initially called Richard over two years ago to discuss what could be done to fix the buckling damage caused by tree roots. Richard said he could overlay the existing asphalt, but the problems would reappear in a few years as the trees beside the driveway continued to grow. We decided not to pursue the overlay at that time and instead took down the oak and hickory trees that were causing the problems. I appreciated Richard's honesty and his suggestions for how the driveway might be reshaped absent the trees. I called Richard back about a month ago to discuss the driveway again. He responded right away. I expected him to recommend tearing up all of the asphalt and repaving the whole thing. But he explained why that was not necessary and in fact not the best idea. He was very patient as we tried to understand the scope of the project. Richard made two suggestion regarding reshaping the driveway. We took one suggestion but not the other. In hindsight, we should have taken both suggestions. The shape of the driveway would be even better! As promised Richard was onsite for the entire project. His crew consisted of four other guys who, like Richard, are polite and professional and accomplished at their jobs. The group worked very well together. We did have some clean up work after the job. There was asphalt on the public road, and we had to scrape it up and dispose of it. There was also a small amount of trash left behind by the crew, but I think they were working so hard they didn't have time to do anything with their drink bottles. I called two other contractors before I called Richard back for this job. One did not return my call. The other contractor just asked what I thought needed to be done as opposed to making a recommendation. He showed no creativity in terms of reshaping the driveway to improve its appearance and design. I definitely think Richard's Paving was right for our job!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

A solid driveway starts with the right asphalt mix, and for most homes, dense-graded hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the most recommended. It’s both durable and flexible, making it a reliable choice for residential use. A properly compacted 2-3 inch layer on a well-prepared crushed stone base will hold up for years. In areas with harsh winters or scorching summers, a slightly modified mix can help prevent cracking and rutting. No matter the climate, quality installation is just as important as the material itself, so hiring an experienced contractor ensures a smooth, long-lasting driveway built to last.

If you’re looking for a similar, eco-friendly driveway material, you might consider one of these options:

  • Permeable pavement: This material is sometimes called “pervious” or “porous” pavement; it allows stormwater to drain into the subbase, eliminating storm drain costs. 

  • Gravel: Consider paving your driveway with locally sourced gravel. By sourcing from a nearby source, your money won’t fund international shipping and will be invested back into your local community.

  • Natural stone pavers: Because natural stone pavers are made from organically-produced stone, there’s no new manufacturing required, limiting the environmental impact. In addition, water easily flows and drains through the gaps in the pavers.

While paving a driveway is possible to do as a DIY project, we don’t recommend it. Hiring a driveway professional to pave it will ensure that your driveway looks neat and clean and lasts for years to come, and it will also prevent a weak driveway and, potentially, damage to your foundation. Paving a driveway requires heavy machinery, and while you can rent the equipment needed, operating it close to your garage slab or around your home’s foundation can crack it and lead to structural issues. 

When comparing installation costs, asphalt is often less expensive upfront than concrete. Asphalt prices typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, while concrete can range from $3 to $18 per square foot. However, long-term costs should also be considered. Concrete driveways generally last longer (up to twice as long) and require less maintenance, which can make them more affordable over their lifespan. While asphalt has a lower installation cost and is easier to repair, it requires more frequent maintenance, such as sealing, which can add up over time. Therefore, while concrete is more expensive initially, its durability may offset the cost in the long run.

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.
