A driveway that's built poorly or has started to droop from vehicle pressure can put pressure on your foundation, and allow water penetration, leading to cracking.
If you don't maintain your driveway it can become damaged and dangerous to walk/drive on. You, a guest, or family member can trip over cracks and potholes, causing injury.
You might see cracks on all the driveways in your neighborhood, but don't make it a trend. Why would anyone want to purchase your home when the driveway is rundown?

A gravel driveway can make shoveling snow during the winter months very tedious. It can be nearly impossible to fully remove the snow, and the driveway will probably require gravel replenishing in the spring (depending on how much is lost in the winter).
Snow and rain can cause the gravel to shift causing ruts and sinkholes. This can make the surface unstable, making it dangerous to walk on. Large vehicles can also cause ruts which makes smaller vehicles like bikes and wheelchairs have difficulty rolling over the surface.
Driving on a gravel driveway can lift up dirt, dust, and debris, causing your home and vehicles to become dirty. Weeds can grow through the gravel and gravel shifting can make the driveway look uneven. This can make the exterior of your home less attractive.
A paved asphalt driveway is a great way to add value to your home, but still isn’t as expensive as a concrete driveway and some other options.
Weather won’t cause washouts like with a gravel driveway and snow is much easier to clear. Plus, when the sun hits the asphalt melting occurs much faster.
When maintained properly, an asphalt driveway will last from 12 – 35 years depending on climate, usage, and whether it’s sealed every few years.

If you need an asphalt driveway or other paving services contact us. Even if your locality isn’t listed, we can help.
An asphalt driveway should last 20 – 30 years. But, there are many factors that can lower a driveway’s lifespan. Humidity can help moisture accumulate under the pavement and weaken it, leaking pipes and improper drainage can cause the pavement to fail, and cracks filled with frozen water can make them expand. Neglect will also hurt the lifespan of your driveway. If cracks and potholes aren’t filled while they are small, the problem will be more expensive later. Finally, without sealcoating your asphalt every 3 – 5 years cracking and other damage will occur more often.
The pavement will be very dark which is why it’s called “blacktop.” You might notice some roller makes where the handwork was completed, but this will blend together after some usage, leaving a smooth appearance. Here at Richard’s Paving, beautiful and high-quality asphalt driveways are our specialty, and we want you to have the beautiful asphalt driveway you dream of.
Driving on new asphalt that hasn’t had time to cure can damage the surface and leave tire marks. The safest bet is waiting a week, but usually, 2 to 3 days will work.
These terms are easily mixed up but here are the definitions:
Repairing your driveway is always an option but here are some reasons it might be time for a replacement.
Every driveway’s situation is unique. If you are not sure whether you need repairs or replacement, give us a call and tell us about the problem.
The time is takes to complete your project depends on a number of factors including your schedule, the weather, driveway size, and the condition of the current driveway.
An asphalt driveway is less expensive than concrete and more cost-efficient to install. Second, asphalt is more easily resurfaced and maintained. Concrete is more expensive, but you can customize it more with stamps and colors. When we give you an estimate, we will answer any questions you have about both.
