GENERAL FAQ's

 Asphalt pavement is a strong, durable, and flexible surface made from a  mixture of crushed stone and asphalt binder. It is commonly used for  constructing driveways, parking lots, and roadways due to its ability to  withstand heavy traffic and extreme weather conditions. 

The length of time it takes to install a new asphalt driveway can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the driveway, the condition of the existing surface, and the weather conditions. In general, the process can take anywhere from a few days to a week or more. This includes preparing the site, excavating and grading the area, laying the base layer and asphalt surface, compacting the material, and allowing time for the pavement to cure. It's important to work with a reputable paving contractor who can provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific project needs.

Sealcoating is an important part of asphalt driveway maintenance as it helps protect the surface from UV rays, water damage, and other harmful elements. The frequency at which you should sealcoat your driveway depends on a variety of factors, including the climate, amount of traffic, and age of the pavement. In general, it is recommended to sealcoat your asphalt driveway every 2-3 years to maintain its appearance and extend its lifespan. However, it's always a good idea to consult with a professional paving contractor who can assess the condition of your driveway and provide personalized recommendations for maintenance.

 Several factors can influence the cost of a paving project, including:

1. Size of the area to be paved: The larger the area, the more materials and labor will be required, resulting in a higher overall cost.
2. Type and quality of materials: The cost of asphalt and other paving materials can vary based on their quality and availability. Higher-quality materials typically come at a higher cost.
3. Site preparation: If the site requires extensive grading, excavation, or removal of existing pavement, this can add to the project cost.
4. Accessibility: If the paving site is difficult to access or requires special equipment, this can increase the cost of the project.
5. Thickness of the pavement: The thicker the pavement, the more material and labor will be required, which can impact the overall cost.
6. Local regulations: Certain municipalities may have specific regulations or permits required for paving projects, which can add to the project cost.
7. Design features: Additional design features such as curves, patterns, or borders can increase the cost of a paving project.

The lifespan of new asphalt pavement can vary depending on several  factors, including the quality of materials used, the amount of traffic  the surface receives, and the weather conditions in the area. In  general, a properly installed and maintained asphalt pavement surface  can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years. However, regular maintenance such  as sealcoating, crack sealing, and patching can help extend the  lifespan of the pavement. It's important to work with a reputable paving  contractor who can provide guidance on the best maintenance practices  to maximize the lifespan of your new asphalt pavement.
