Most importantly, you get work that’s done right the first time. No callbacks for settling. No surprise repairs six months later. Just solid asphalt paving that does its job year after year.

How long does a typical driveway paving project take to complete?

Most residential driveways are completed within one to two days, depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation, while day two focuses on asphalt installation and finishing. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial consultation and keep you informed if weather or other factors affect the schedule. You can usually drive on your new driveway within 24-48 hours, though we recommend avoiding heavy vehicles for the first week.

What's the difference between asphalt and blacktop for driveways?

Asphalt and blacktop are essentially the same material – a mixture of aggregate stones and bitumen binder. The terms are often used interchangeably, though “blacktop” typically refers to the finer mixture used for driveways and smaller surfaces. The key difference is in the aggregate size and application method. For driveways, we use a finer mix that creates a smoother surface, while parking lots and roads might use coarser aggregate for heavy traffic durability. Both provide excellent longevity when properly installed with correct base preparation.

How do I know if my driveway needs complete replacement or just resurfacing?

The condition of your existing base determines whether you need resurfacing or full replacement. If you have minor surface cracks and wear but the driveway is structurally sound with good drainage, resurfacing might work. However, if you see significant cracking, settling, potholes, or drainage issues, complete replacement is usually the better investment. We’ll assess your current driveway during our consultation and explain what we find. Sometimes trying to save money with resurfacing over a failing base just leads to problems within a few years.

What should I expect to pay for professional driveway paving in Lyons?

Driveway paving costs depend on size, current condition, access, and specific requirements like drainage improvements. Most residential driveways in the Lyons area range from moderate to higher investment depending on these factors. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs – no surprises or hidden fees. Remember that quality paving is a long-term investment in your property. Cheaper work often means shortcuts on base preparation or materials, leading to premature failure and higher costs down the road.

How long will my new asphalt driveway last before needing major repairs?

A properly installed asphalt driveway should last 15-20 years or more with basic maintenance like occasional sealcoating. The key factors are quality base preparation, proper drainage, appropriate asphalt thickness, and correct installation techniques. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on pavement, but quality work holds up well to our climate. Minor maintenance like crack sealing every few years helps extend the life significantly. Driveways that fail quickly usually had inadequate base preparation or drainage issues from the start.

Do you handle commercial parking lot paving projects as well as residential?

Yes, we provide both residential driveway paving and commercial parking lot services throughout Lyons and surrounding areas. Commercial projects require different planning – heavier base preparation for truck traffic, ADA compliance considerations, proper striping, and scheduling that minimizes business disruption. We work with property managers, business owners, and facility managers to plan projects during off-hours or in phases when possible. Our equipment and crew size can handle projects from small business parking areas to larger commercial facilities.
