Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my new asphalt driveway last?
The lifespan of an asphalt driveway typically ranges from 15 to 20 years, depending on the quality of installation, maintenance, and traffic conditions. Regular maintenance such as sealcoating can extend its lifespan even further.
When is the best time to pave an asphalt driveway or parking lot?
The best time to pave asphalt is during warmer weather, typically from late spring to early fall, when temperatures are above 50°F. This ensures proper curing and the best results.
How do I maintain my asphalt driveway?
Regular maintenance includes sealing cracks and applying sealcoating every 2-3 years to protect the asphalt from weathering, moisture, and wear. It’s also important to avoid heavy vehicle traffic immediately after installation and to address damage like cracks or potholes promptly.
What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing my asphalt?
Resurfacing involves applying a new layer of asphalt over an existing surface, which is ideal for driveways or parking lots with minor damage. Replacing the asphalt involves removing the old pavement and installing a completely new surface, which is necessary if the existing asphalt is too damaged or worn.
How long does it take to install a new asphalt driveway or parking lot?
Installation time depends on the size of the project. A typical residential driveway can be installed in one to two days, while larger commercial parking lots may take several days to complete.
Will asphalt crack over time?
Yes, like all paving materials, asphalt can develop cracks over time due to weather conditions, heavy traffic, or natural settling. However, regular maintenance such as crack sealing and sealcoating can help prevent or minimize cracking and extend the life of your asphalt.
