Why Asphalt?  

 

Asphalt creates a clean, smooth look, which increases curb appeal and keeps you and visitors safe while walking on your property. Quality asphalt can make snow removal easier and reduce damage caused by accumulating water and salt. Contact us for a free estimate for your paving project.

 

Asphalt Care

 

While our asphalt pavement is long-lasting and resistant, there are a few things that you can do to help protect it and ensure that it serves you as long as it should.

Give it Time

 

Liquid asphalt takes 6-12 months to cure. Until then it will be pliable and soft, especially in warm weather. In order to protect your new driveway, keep auto traffic off for at least 3 full days after it is installed. Once your driveway fades to a greyish colour, it is cured. At this point, it is important to seal your driveway to keep it smooth and protected from the elements, as well as from gasoline, oil, and other corrosive liquids.

Be Gentle for a While

 

Your new driveway can be scarred by automobiles starting too fast, pulling in too quickly, turning around in tight areas and just plain driving too fast. Similarly, heavy vehicles, such as oil and concrete trucks, can depress your driveway, so keep them off.

​

Rotate Parking

 

During the first 6-12 months while your driveway is curing do not park in the same spot every time. Do not turn your steering wheel back and forth when your car is not moving.

Keep it Cool

 

Watering down your driveway on hot days will cool and temporarily harden the asphalt. This is helpful but not mandatory.

​

Use Plywood

 

You can protest your driveway from jacks, car ramps, and heavy weights such as campers and boats, by placing a piece of plywood between them and the driveway.

Avoid Pointed Objects

 

Holes and depressions can be created, especially in warm months, when weight is exerted on a concentrated area by a pointed object such as a lawn chair, kickstand, or even high heels.

​

Stay Off the Edge

 

This is the weakest part of your driveway due to a lack of side support. Therefore, avoid driving on them to prevent them from cracking and crumbling in time. It is helpful to build up the sides of your driveway with topsoil to approximately one inch from the top to allow room for sod growth and water drainage.
