"Jesse and his crew did an outstanding job on our old and ugly driveway. When he was done my wife wouldn’t let me drive on it….that is how great it looked. On time, good communication, and very reasonable pricing. I can’t wait to hire him for my paving."

"I went through two bids before Jerad looking to get our driveway graveled. My husband and I have a 20,000 pound truck and it was creating massive mud ruts into our driveway, tracking mud into the street. Jerad not only had the best communication and follow-up, but he also had the best pricing! Our consultation made me feel at ease as he showed me a couple areas that needed special attention that the other two did not even see nor mention. He was on time, affordable, wonderful to communicate with, and laid the gravel in a clean and very nice fashion. I got two compliments from neighbors just after he finished. Jerad was great and I will recommend him to anyone that asks about needing gravel work!"

"We have hired them twice, for trimming and pruning everything on our property, including a stand of 12 tall arborvitae, a large ground cover area, and several fast-growing evergreen trees. Their work was excellent and affordable, and they showed up on time and worked hard. We are very pleased with the results, and we will use them again."

"I was amazed by how quickly they removed the old driveway and then laid down the new. I didn't really want to have to replace the driveway but a hole formed right in the middle and forced the issue. They found the source of the sink hole, fixed it and replaced the driveway."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.

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.

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.

At a depth of two inches, a ton of asphalt covers around 80 to 100 square feet. However, the thicker the asphalt, the less surface area it will cover. That’s why measuring correctly is essential when estimating asphalt needs and costs to ensure you get enough material to cover your entire driveway, patio, or other asphalt surface.

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.
