How long will it take to remove my driveway?
In removing your old asphalt driveway, it will be necessary to run heavy equipment over the driveway. In doing this, the area under the base (called the sub-base) is often times clay and can get soft. During drier times of the year, some driveways will stay hard after removal, but each driveway is different. Typically, during the spring, it is necessary to let the driveway sit to firm back up. We will determine the best time to begin to reinstall your driveway, to allow us to offer the best possible guarantee. During the summer months, we usually let the driveway sit 7-10 days, but in spring or wet months, they may need 2-3 weeks. You can drive and park on the driveway while waiting for paving.
How long should I stay off my new driveway?
We recommend that you do not park on your new driveway for one week. Asphalt becomes soft with heat. In fact, it’s a good idea to park in the garage or on the street on very hot and sunny days to save yourself potential problems.
What is Hot Mix Asphalt?
Hot mix asphalt is an engineered mixture of aggregate, or stones and sand, with liquid asphalt cement, a petroleum product. Varying sizes of aggregates are heated, then mixed in exact proportions with asphalt cement that has been liquefied at about 300 degrees. While the mixture is still hot, it is delivered to your driveway and paved on top of a base or subgrade that has already been prepared.
How is my new driveway installed?
The hot asphalt is now applied with a paving machine. This machine operates on very much the same principle of those used on freeways. It lays a mat of uniform consistency. The mat is then rolled while hot.
Tire marks
Tire marks are usually caused by turning your wheels in one place without the car moving. Try to have the wheels rolling a little when turning around on hot days. Most of these small imperfections will disappear after the first year.
Heavy trucks and equipment
When we design a driveway, it is built to withstand the weight of cars and light trucks. A heavy truck could destroy your driveway, especially in the spring when the frost is coming off, during a wet season, or on hot days. Keep them off!
Advantages of Using Asphalt for Your Driveway
We are frequently asked by homeowners and businesses why an asphalt driveway or asphalt parking lot would be their best choice.
- Cost
Asphalt costs less per square foot than concrete and can save money on your driveway or parking lot project. - Durability in Colder Climates
Asphalt is flexible and will shrink and expands with temperature changes and is less likely to crack due to the extreme temperature fluctuations in winter and spring in Minnesota. Asphalt also absorbs heat and can help melt snow and ice quickly! - You Can Drive on Asphalt Almost Immediately
The curing time for asphalt is almost immediate, making sure that your customers can use your parking lot or driveway almost immediately vs. waiting several days before a car can drive on it. - Longevity
When properly installed asphalt driveways and parking lots can last up to 20 years.
