DRIVEWAY PAVING
Your driveway is the first thing people see when they pull up to your house. It can say a lot about you and your home. A well-maintained driveway shows that you take pride in your home and that you care about the details.
Why Consider Paving Your Driveway
It’s one of the first things visitors see, so it’s important to keep it well-maintained. A beautiful, well-kept driveway can really make a difference in your home’s overall appearance.
It Gives a Lasting Great Impression
A well-paved driveway reflects well on a home and its residents. It can add curb appeal, which is the first impression people get when they see your home. A driveway that is in good condition and has been well-maintained will make a great impression on guests and potential buyers.
It Boosts Property Value
When it comes to home improvement projects, paving your driveway is one of the smartest investments you can make. A well-paved driveway is an attractive feature that potential homebuyers will appreciate. It can also make your home more saleable and easier to maintain.
It Improves Parking Functionality
Not only does it improve the overall appearance of your home, but it can also provide better parking functionality.
Parking is often a challenge for homeowners, especially in areas that experience a lot of snow and ice. Paving your driveway can help to improve the ease and safety of parking by providing a solid surface for cars to park on. In addition, paved driveways are much easier to clean and maintain than gravel or dirt driveways.
Asphalt Paved Driveways
Asphalt driveways are a popular choice for homeowners because of their affordability and durability. However, if your driveway was not installed properly, it will not have the same lifespan. Our professional staff can help you to install your asphalt driveway correctly.
Getting Your Driveway Ready
The key to a good driveway is a good base. Whether you are starting from scratch or you already have a base to work with, driveways need at least 10 inches of compacted stone. If you are having your driveway dug out, we will let the stone settle for approximately a month.
It is important to let your driveway cool down once you get it paved. You are able to walk on it but anything heavier can leave an impression while the driveway is still cooling. Leaving it for 5-7 days without anything on it will help with the process.
Deal with a local company.
Keep in mind: “the lowest price is not necessarily the best choice”. Aggravation and hassles are usually cheap to buy, but seldom worth it in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends. If your driveway is currently in good condition, and you only need to replace the asphalt surface, then we don’t need a new sub-base. However, if the current condition of your driveway is poor, or if it’s been damaged by weather or heavy traffic, then we will need to install a new sub-base before we can put down the new asphalt surface.
It is important to give new asphalt time to harden and cure. Immediately driving or parking on fresh asphalt can cause damage and create an uneven surface. Depending on the weather and the type of asphalt used we recommend you wait 5 (five) days.
The lifespan of your driveway will depend on a variety of factors, such as the climate, the type of material used, and how well it is maintained. With proper maintenance, an asphalt driveway should last between 15 – 30 years.

Maintaining a paved driveway is not a difficult process, but it is important to do it on a regular basis. The most important part of driveway maintenance is keeping the surface clean. This can be done by sweeping it regularly or hosing it down.
In addition, it is important to seal the surface every few years. This will help to protect it from the elements and keep it looking new. Finally, if there are any cracks or holes in the driveway, they should be repaired as soon as possible.
