ASPHALT PAVING CONTRACTOR IN CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY DRIVEWAY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED?

• Asphalt tends to crack over time, especially without proper seal coating and crack repair. Simple linear cracks can often be filled to prevent water damage. However, if you notice large patches of cracks, known as alligator cracks, these areas usually require replacement. A professional asphalt paving contractor will advise you to replace sections of broken asphalt. For isolated areas, blacktop patching is suitable. But if the damage is widespread, affecting more than 25% of the driveway, blacktop paving is recommended. If you're uncertain, it's best to have an asphalt paving company like Affordable Sealcoating provide a free evaluation.

 

ARE THERE DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR REPLACING MY DRIVEWAY?

• When it comes to residential asphalt paving services, there are various options available. Most driveways consist of 4-8 inches of crushed stone base and 2-4 inches of asphalt. The thickness and composition of these layers determine the driveway's strength. Two common types of asphalt used for the asphalt layer are asphalt binder/base course and asphalt top/wearing course. Some driveway paving services include the base course, while others do not. Our basic quotes typically exclude the base course to keep costs down. However, if you're interested in including a base course, please let us know. When comparing blacktop paving quotes, ensure you're comparing similar options.

 

DO I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DRIVEWAY?

• No, you don't have to replace the entire driveway. As a leading paving company, we offer various services, from small patches to full driveway replacements. If only a small area of your driveway is deteriorating while the rest is in good condition, we recommend replacing only that small area. This is known as "asphalt patching." Keep in mind that the patch may not match the rest of your driveway perfectly, but it will be structurally sound. Applying seal coating 30-90 days after patching can help blend the new area with the rest of the driveway.
