Residential Paving Questions
Most residential driveway installations are completed in 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity. Factors that affect timeline include site access, existing surface removal needs, and weather conditions. We'll provide a detailed schedule during the quoting phase.
The best material depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and how you use the surface. Asphalt is cost-effective and popular. Pavers offer beauty and individual replacement options. Stamped concrete provides decorative appeal at a moderate price. We can help you weigh the pros and cons for your specific situation.
For asphalt, we recommend waiting 24-48 hours before driving on it. For concrete, waiting 5-7 days is ideal. We'll provide specific guidelines based on your installation and weather conditions at the time of completion.
For asphalt driveways, sealing is highly recommended to protect against UV damage, oil stains, and water infiltration. We typically recommend waiting 6-12 months after installation before the first sealcoat. For pavers, sealing helps prevent staining and maintains color vibrancy.
With proper installation and regular maintenance, an asphalt driveway can last 15-20 years or more. Pavers can last even longer. Factors that affect lifespan include weather exposure, traffic volume, and how well the surface is maintained.
