Why concrete and asphalt?
Durable
A well-built asphalt driveway can last up to about 20 years, and concrete can last 30 or more, with proper care.
Cost-effective
Generally cheaper than stone, and a long-lasting choice for walkways.
Low maintenance
Regular sweeping and an occasional reseal keeps them in shape.
Fire resistant
Concrete does not burn, and we use fire-resistant asphalt.
Easy to source
Both materials are widely available, which keeps projects moving.
Why seal coat?

Asphalt & Concrete FAQs
How often should I seal my asphalt driveway?
Most benefit from sealing every two to three years, depending on traffic, weather and the condition of the surface.
Can I repair my driveway, or do I need to replace it?
Minor cracks, discoloration and small potholes can usually be patched. Widespread cracking or structural damage may mean replacement. We will tell you honestly which it is.
What causes asphalt to crack?
Freeze-thaw cycles, sun exposure, heavy vehicles and water getting under the surface.
How long does a new driveway take?
Many residential driveways are finished in one to two days. We will give you a timeline with your estimate.
Should I seal new asphalt?
Sealing new asphalt protects it from the start, and sealing older asphalt restores its look and slows wear.
