How thick should an asphalt driveway be?

Q: What are the three main types of asphalt?

• <div><p>The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt. Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it&rsquo;s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.</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>

Q: Do asphalt driveways crack?

• <div><p>Like all driveway materials, asphalt can crack in the wrong conditions and with age. Many things can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-concrete-and-asphalt-driveway-cracks.htm">cause asphalt to crack,</a> including shifting soil or settling under the foundation. Other common causes are driving oversized vehicles on the asphalt, tree roots, and using rock salt during the snowy season. Proper installation and sealing the driveway every 10 years can help prevent cracks.</p></div>

Great. The ant issue was resolved immediately. Why did I wait so long? What I liked about the truck was the company name was only on the license plate. I prefer not to have a big truck with a rat painted on its' side parked in the driveway of my home:)

He cleared the driveway and pushed the snow back far enough I would have a place to put new snow for future storms. He asked about landscaping concerns before removing the snow. I was very satisfied with this timeliness, service, and price.

We are going to hire them to seal coat the driveways as well. Howie seems to be good for follow up. It may take a couple of days, but they try to work with your schedule.
