• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re looking for a similar, eco-friendly driveway material, you might consider one of these options:</p><ul><li><p><b>Permeable pavement:</b> This material is sometimes called &ldquo;pervious&rdquo; or &ldquo;porous&rdquo; pavement; it allows stormwater to drain into the subbase, eliminating storm drain costs. </p></li><li><p><b>Gravel:</b> Consider paving your driveway with locally sourced gravel.

Q: What is a driveway apron called?

• <div><p>The driveway apron is a technical term referring to where a private driveway meets the public street. If there is a sidewalk in front of the house, the driveway apron is typically on the opposite side of the public sidewalk from the driveway itself. </p></div>

Q: Can you pave over a cracked asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>If your driveway is cracked, you can repave it with a process called asphalt overlay. Overlay is more cost-effective than a full replacement but is better suited for minor cracks and issues. If you have major cracks or other problems like water pooling, asphalt overlay isn&rsquo;t your best bet. Plus, paving over a cracked driveway only extends the lifetime by about 10 years, whereas replacing it would start the clock over completely to give you up to 30 years.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to build your own driveway?

• <div><p>The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-ideas.htm">driveway ideas</a>. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.</p></div>

Q: How long does asphalt paving take to complete?

• <div><p>Depending on project size, typically 1 to 3 days, including preparation and installation.</p></div>

"The roofers were extremely professional and nice. They found that the previous roofers did not put flashing around the skylights. All of the wood around them was rotten. They had to take all six skylights out to replace the wood. They did it with minimal dust inside. They took the time to put extra ice and snow barriers around the skylights. They went above and beyond. I would recommend Brian and his crew to anyone. Todd from Hip and Ridge Construction is friendly, professional and honest."
