  • How long does asphalt paving typically last?

    Asphalt paving, when properly installed and maintained, generally has a lifespan of 20 to 25 years. However, various factors such as weather conditions, traffic volume, and drainage can influence its durability.
  • What's the difference between asphalt and concrete paving?

    Asphalt paving is generally more cost-effective, faster to install, and easier to repair compared to concrete. While concrete offers greater durability in certain climates and a distinct aesthetic, asphalt is often preferred for driveways and roads due to its flexibility and cost-efficiency.
  • How long should I wait before driving on new asphalt?

    It is advisable to allow 24 to 48 hours before driving on newly installed asphalt. In warmer weather conditions, the curing process may require additional time for the surface to fully set.
  • What is sealcoating and why is it important?

    Sealcoating is a protective layer applied to asphalt surfaces to shield them from water damage, UV radiation, oil spills, and other harmful elements. This process is crucial as it extends the pavement's lifespan and enhances its visual appeal.
  • How often should I sealcoat my driveway or parking lot?

    Sealcoating should be performed every 2 to 3 years, with the frequency depending on factors such as usage intensity, weather exposure, and the age of the asphalt. Delaying sealcoating can leave the surface vulnerable to cracking, oxidation, and water infiltration.
  • Can potholes and cracks be repaired?

    Yes, potholes and cracks can typically be addressed using various asphalt repair techniques. Prompt attention to these issues is recommended to prevent more extensive and costly damage in the future.
  • How long does an asphalt paving job take?

    For most residential driveways, the paving process can be completed within 1 to 2 days. Larger commercial projects may require several days, depending on the project's scope and size.
