"We had an exceptional experience end to end. We surveyed the market and had three different offers, of which System Pavers was the highest. Yet there was a distinctive professional advantage that echoed from day one of our discussion with them. Chris from System Pavers was very detailed about the process, provided full specs, reference addresses to visit as well as some really good consultation. On the other side, the cheaper contractors had by far less references and were not aware of some of the requirements (City permit, for example, was ignored as well as some specific installation materials), needless to say that none offered the 25 years warranty and peace of mind that comes with System Pavers. After thinking about it for a while (And given our experience with "Cheap" contractors that turn out to be very expensive on our previous remodel), we decided to pay more to get more, we clearly made the right choice! Installation was well coordinated, even though we asked to delay it the last minute due to a power shortage, System Pavers still over-delivered on the completion date, having our driveway and walkway ready within four days only. The construction team was very friendly and helpful and did their best to help us going through those few days without a drive way and walkway. Jeff, the project managers was highly involved and kept me in the picture all along even though I was traveling and hard to reach. All in all, I highly recommend System Pavers, you might pay more, yet it will definitely worth it!"
"We love, love, love our driveway and front patio/porch! It took long but well worth it, now looking at the outcome. The workers really made it happen, experienced and most agreeable to make our project happen beautifully! We wish however, that the contractor cared enough about the workers, by providing a Honey Bucket and modern methods like a mobile tractor for demo work."

"From our first meeting I knew I had no worries regarding my pavement experience. Andy was very professional and knowledgeable of his job and what I wanted. The crew was expected at 8:00 am and at that time they were hard at work. I was so impressed with the entire crew, they were all very friendly and hard workers. Our neighbors were so inspired they had their driveway paved also. I realize that my pavement job may have seemed like a minor job, Andy and his crew worked as if they were on a million dollar project. We are very pleased and if we ever have pavement needs or if any of our friends need asphalt we will definitely call or suggest Washington State Paving. The crew was very appreciative of hamburgers for lunch too!"

The average cost to repair an asphalt driveway is around $2,459 to $2,500. However, prices can range from $100 for minor DIY crack filling to over $4,000 for more extensive professional work. Costs are often calculated per foot, with minor repairs costing $1 to $3 per linear foot and heavier damage like potholes, sinking, or crumbling costing $2 to $5 per linear foot. Patching smaller potholes can cost around $2 to $3 per square foot. The final price depends on the severity and extent of the damage, driveway design, local contractor rates, and whether sealing is included. For major repairs, it is recommended to hire a professional, and you may get a better deal by bundling repair and sealing services together.
You can expect your asphalt pavement to last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, or 25 years on average. The life expectancy of your asphalt driveway depends on the climate, the amount of traffic, and how well you maintain it. While you can’t necessarily control some of these factors, you can control the amount of maintenance effort you put into your driveway.
To prevent your asphalt from deteriorating prematurely, you should follow a good maintenance routine involving regular cleaning, reparation work, and resealing.
A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain.
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.
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.
