Asphalt is more cost-effective, quicker to install, and easier to repair than concrete. It also performs better in colder climates by flexing with temperature changes.
Cracks form due to weather changes, heavy loads, and water infiltration. Regular sealcoating and proper drainage help prevent cracking.
Typically, you should wait at least 24-48 hours before driving on fresh asphalt to allow it to set properly.
Yes, asphalt overlays can be applied over existing surfaces if the foundation is stable. If there are structural issues, full removal and replacement may be necessary.
Routine maintenance includes sealcoating every 2-3 years, crack filling, and periodic resurfacing to extend the pavement’s life and prevent damage.
A well-installed and maintained asphalt surface can last 15-25 years, depending on traffic, weather conditions, and regular maintenance.
Asphalt paving is best done in warm weather, typically from late spring to early fall, when temperatures allow proper curing and compaction.
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project, but most residential driveways are completed within a day, while larger commercial projects may take several days.
