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.
