Asphalt FAQs

1. How soon can I drive on new asphalt?
You should wait 24–48 hours, or up to 72 hours in hot weather, to prevent surface damage.

2. How long does asphalt last?
With regular maintenance like sealcoating and crack repair, asphalt can last 15–20 years or longer.

3. What is sealcoating and why is it important?
Sealcoating is a protective layer that shields asphalt from UV rays, moisture, and oil—extending its life and appearance.

4. How often should asphalt be sealcoated?
Every 3–5 years, depending on use and climate conditions.

5. What causes cracks in asphalt?
Cracks can form from weather changes, moisture, heavy loads, and natural aging.

6. Can cracks and potholes be repaired?
Yes! We offer patching and crack sealing to restore your surface and prevent further damage.

7. Is asphalt good for residential driveways?
Absolutely. It’s a cost-effective, flexible, and quick-to-install option that performs well over time.

8. Can asphalt be resurfaced instead of replaced?
Yes, if the base is still in good shape, an overlay can extend the life of your existing asphalt.

Concrete FAQs

1. How long does concrete take to cure?
Concrete reaches full strength in 28 days, though it’s safe to walk on after 24–48 hours and drive on after 7 days.

2. What types of finishes do you offer?
We offer broom, stamped, salt, and exposed aggregate finishes to suit your aesthetic and functional needs.

3. Will concrete crack over time?
Some cracking is normal. We use control joints and proper curing to minimize visible cracks.

4. Can you pour concrete in cold or rainy weather?
Yes, but we take precautions to ensure proper setting and curing. Weather conditions are always considered when scheduling work.

5. How do I maintain my concrete surface?
Keep it clean, avoid harsh chemicals, and reseal decorative finishes every few years for added protection.

6. Is concrete more expensive than asphalt?
Yes, but it often lasts longer and requires less frequent maintenance, making it a cost-effective investment long-term.

7. Can you match my existing concrete?
We do our best to match color and texture, but slight variations may occur based on age and mix.

8. Is concrete suitable for patios and walkways?
Definitely! It’s ideal for sidewalks, patios, curbs, driveways, and custom hardscape features.

Paving FAQs (Pavers)

1. Are pavers durable for driveways?
Yes, interlocking concrete pavers are incredibly strong and made to withstand heavy vehicle traffic.

2. What’s better—pavers or poured concrete?
Pavers offer design flexibility, easier repairs, and often better drainage than poured concrete.

3. Will weeds grow between the pavers?
Not if installed correctly—we use polymeric sand and compacted base layers to minimize weed growth.

4. Can pavers shift over time?
Proper installation with a stable base and edge restraints prevents shifting and settling.

5. Do pavers need sealing?
Sealing is optional but recommended to enhance color, protect against stains, and make cleaning easier.

6. Can I replace a damaged paver?
Yes! One of the main benefits of pavers is that individual units can be replaced without redoing the whole surface.

7. Are pavers slippery when wet?
Pavers typically have a textured surface, making them safer and slip-resistant even when wet.

8. What kind of design options are available?
Pavers come in various shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns, allowing for fully customized hardscape designs.
