Sealcoating is a crucial part of maintenance for your asphalt driveway. An asphalt driveway can last 20+ years on average with proper maintenance and care. Asphalt driveway sealcoating coats the surface with a protective barrier, making your driveway more resistant to contaminants, water damage, and UV damage. We recommend asphalt driveways to be sealed every 2 to 3 years, in order to maintain its longevity.
Asphalt sealant is a bitumen and oil based liquid substance that is applied evenly over the existing driveway surface. Asphalt sealcoating not only protects your driveway but also rejuvenates its look, restoring its dark and rich appearance when new. Sealcoating, along with frequent pressure washing, are the most important maintenance items for asphalt driveways, ensuring maximum durability and aesthetic appeal.

Asphalt Driveway Resurfacing
Asphalt driveway resurfacing is a more intensive driveway repair solution for widespread or deeper damage. Driveway resurfacing removes and replaces the top layers of asphalt, while preserving the base layers. Resurfacing enables the repair of deep potholes, deep cracks, and widespread damage that patching and sealing wouldn't be able to effectively repair.
For damage limited to the top layer and less than 2 inches deep, we recommend our driveway repair services for isolated damage and driveway resurfacing for widespread damage. For damage deeper than 2 inches, we recommend asphalt driveway resurfacing to recover the integrity of the top layers. We will remove the top layers and make repairs to deeper cracks or cavities before re-pouring the surface layer.
Asphalt driveway resurfacing gives you a durable new driveway at a fraction of the cost. Learn more about choosing us to be your driveway contractor and give us a call today to schedule an estimate for driveway resurfacing!
Asphalt Driveway Repair
As your driveway is used and time goes by, moisture, UV rays, and vehicle load can cause the asphalt to deteriorate. This weakening can cause potholes and cracks to form, not to mention edge erosion. While well-built asphalt driveways like ours have a strong base to mitigate some of these issues, they can still occur. We specialize in repairing asphalt driveway damage such as potholes and cracks. We use patching and sealing techniques with high quality mixes to make an effective and long-lasting repair.
Our asphalt driveway repair service is perfect for driveways with shallow or isolated damage, typically less than 2 inches deep. For asphalt driveways with deeper damage or widespread defects, we recommend our resurfacing service.

Tips For Asphalt Driveway Maintenance
Regular maintenance is extremely important to preserving the condition of your asphalt driveway. Asphalt is a porous and soft material, which means it needs extra care to keep up its durability. We've compiled a common list of asphalt maintenance items that can help prolong the lifespan of your driveway.
- Asphalt Driveway Sealcoating - We recommend sealcoating your driveway every 3 years to protect the surface.
- Repair Damage Quickly - We recommend repairing isolated damage to your asphalt driveway as soon as possible to avoid the damage worsening and spreading. This can save you money and a headache.
- Routine Pressure Washing - We recommend pressure washing your driveway every 3-6 months to clean off contaminants, and prevent them from weakening the asphalt.
- Drain Standing Water - We recommend sweeping away standing water from your asphalt driveway as soon as possible to avoid water damage from penetration.
- Clean Oil and Chemical Spills - We recommend cleaning oil and other contaminants from your driveway surface as soon as possible to avoid surface damage or weakening.
Our Proven 7-Step Asphalt Paving Process
- Demolition and Removal - We remove the existing surface and prepare the area for asphalt, removing any unwanted roots or structures. We'll clear any existing pavement if necessary.
- Grading - We expertly grade and slope the surface to ensure proper water run-off and drainage. This eliminates standing water issues after we install the asphalt pavement, which is the leading cause of potholes and cracks in asphalt. With our properly graded surface, water following rain and storms will not collect and do damage to the pavement.
- Sub Base Layer - The sub-base layer is the foundation for any new asphalt pavement, and is therefore crucial. We install this strengthening and load-bearing layer of compacted aggregate evenly across the surface. The sub base layer can be anywhere from 4" to 9" inches thick and also serves as a frost barrier in the off chance we experience a freeze in the Winter. This layer is critical for long-lasting asphalt, so rest assured that we'll handle it with experience and extra care. We'll lastly compact the sublayer to make sure it is installed properly and dense enough to be effective.
- Proof Roll and Sub-Base Preparation - The proof roll is an extra technique we use for larger projects that compacts the sub-base layer with extra force from heavy machinery. This additional force makes the sub-base layer even stronger for asphalt pavements that require resistance to heavy traffic. We'll perform sub-base preparation for all of our projects, undercutting and repairing any soft or uneven areas. This fine-tuning process is critical for us to guarantee there are no compromised areas of the foundation, before moving on.
- Binder Layer - We install the binder layer next, which is aggregate mixed and bound with oil or bitumen. This layer can be cold, warm, or hot mix asphalt, depending on the type of pavement being constructed. The binder layer holds the top surface and the bottom sub-base together. It is the core of any asphalt pavement. We'll spread the asphalt binder mix evenly and compact it to prepare for the installation of the top layers.
- Asphalt Surface Installation - The asphalt surface is the top layer of asphalt that you actually see and takes the brunt of the daily traffic. The top layer of asphalt is made of finer aggregates mixed with bitumen and oils. After we install it, this will give your pavement a dark and smooth surface that is desirable with asphalt.
- Joints, Transitions, and Final Roll - The final step is to properly transition and join the new asphalt pavement with existing surfaces or any curbs. You'll see our experience at work here to ensure that these transitions are as smooth as possible, while facilitating good water drainage. We'll give the asphalt one final roll to ensure everything is compacted properly. Your new pavement will require 2-3 days to harden, after which it can be used.

Types of Asphalt Mixes
Cold Mix Asphalt
Made up of loose aggregate mixed with oil-base binders, cold mix asphalt possesses just the right amount of durability and cohesiveness for localized repairs. This mix is perfect for repairing cracks and potholes as it does not require heating and is affordable, making it easy to install and foot the bill. Beyond repairs, cold mix does not possess the necessary level of strength for new pavements.
Warm Mix Asphalt
Produced at 100 to 150 degrees Celsius, warm mix asphalt a more uncommon but easier to use material with applications in roads, driveways, parking lots, and more. Warm mix asphalt can be produced at lower temperatures, making it easier to manufacture, transport, install, and faster to harden. Its availability makes it less common, but we like it for its similar strength as a hot mix asphalt.
Hot Mix Asphalt
The most common asphalt mix in America, hot mix asphalt is produced at above 120 degrees Celsius. Hot mix asphalt is highly durable and resistant to weather, heavy traffic, and other external factors, making it a great choice for many larger projects. Due to its high availability, we use hot mix asphalt for most new paving projects that are not repair or resurfacing related.

Comparing Asphalt vs Concrete for driveways.
Benefits of Asphalt Driveways:
1. Cost-Effectiveness
Superior affordability through lower installation costs, reduced labor requirements, and economical maintenance options make asphalt particularly attractive for budget-conscious homeowners seeking quality value.
2. Rapid Installation
Complete driveway installation within 1-2 days and usage within 48 hours minimizes household disruption, making asphalt ideal for families needing quick solutions without compromising quality.
3. Cold Climate Performance
Exceptional flexibility allows asphalt to withstand freeze-thaw cycles while providing superior winter traction, with its dark surface accelerating snow and ice melt naturally.
4. Simple Maintenance
Straightforward maintenance protocols, including periodic sealcoating and seamless repair options, ensure long-term durability without requiring specialized expertise or extensive investments.
5. Weather Resistance
Properly sealed asphalt provides excellent water drainage and environmental protection, maintaining structural integrity across varying weather conditions.
Benefits of Concrete Driveways:
1. Extended Longevity
Exceptional durability with a 25-30 year lifespan justifies higher initial costs through reduced long-term maintenance needs and sustained structural integrity.
2. Design Flexibility
Extensive customization options through colors, patterns, and textures allow homeowners to create distinctive driveways that complement their property's architectural style.
3. Heat Tolerance
Superior performance in hot climates through better heat reflection and resistance to softening makes concrete ideal for warmer regions.
4. Minimal Upkeep
Reduced maintenance requirements eliminate the need for regular sealcoating, with simple cleaning sufficient to maintain appearance and functionality.
5. Property Value
Enhanced curb appeal and perceived quality contribute to increased property values, making concrete an attractive option for long-term homeowners and luxury properties.

What is the difference between asphalt and blacktop?
While asphalt and blacktop share a characteristic dark appearance, their compositional differences significantly impact their applications and performance. Asphalt consists of a precisely engineered mixture of bitumen combined with aggregates including sand, gravel, and crushed stone, creating a dense, highly viscous material. Blacktop, by contrast, incorporates a higher proportion of bitumen and coarser aggregate materials. Though blacktop's composition makes it more economical and easier to install, these advantages come at the cost of reduced durability, shorter lifespan, and inferior water resistance. Its naturally permeable and looser structure renders it vulnerable to degradation from heavy traffic and water erosion. Asphalt's superior strength and durability make it the preferred choice for high-traffic applications such as driveways, roads, and parking lots, while blacktop's use is generally limited to low-traffic residential driveways and private roads.
