Asphalt Driveway Paving
What can your asphalt paved driveway do for you today?



Asphalt driveway paving has a lot to offer you, your family and your visitors. The most basic is a
sense of direction. When yourself or others approach your property, they are looking for a way in
and off the road. Can you remember when you may have visited a friend at their home for the first
time, driving down their road, looking for their house? After you've found their house, surly you too
were looking for a way off the road. Your driveway entrance is a main focal point for any visitor.
Designing an attractive driveway entrance, one that is easy to find will help your visitor feel more
comfortable. This area is your main focal point in regards to your driveway. Once they have found
how to get in, your asphalt driveway outline gives them a clear pathway to the parking area. The way
in and a place to park. Paved driveways offer a safe and comfortable entrance to and from your
home. They provide a durable area to park your vehicles on. Unpaved driveways are usually
constructed of
gravel or dirt and grass. The dirt and sand sticks to the bottom of your shoes and will
eventually track into your home. Your driveway is the first thing visitors notice when pulling up to
your property. It creates an impression about your home and your way of life. A clean, well designed
asphalt driveway is attractive and inviting.


Asphalt driveways make a great playing surface for kids and adults too. They provide a mud free area
to wash and show off your car. You can play a family game of basketball or your children can draw
hopscotch and pictures on the asphalt. Anyway you chalk it up, asphalt paving can provide your
family with a clean, safe place to have fun together and at the same time make you everyday life
easier and more enjoyable. Imagine everyday coming home from work and pulling onto your nice and
clean asphalt paved driveway. AHHH.


Just like most other home improvements, paving can also increase the aesthetics and value of your
property's investment. If you're anything like me when it comes to property or home improvement,
than you're always looking to get the best value for your dollar. When you get tired of all the dirt and
mud and decide it's time to have some kind of pavement installed on your driveway or parking lot,
consider using asphalt. Asphalt is a semi smooth surface that affords us a safe comfortable entrance
to and from our road. It helps make snow and ice removal easier and it's unaffected by ice melting
salts. It doesn't "pit" on the surface unlike concrete. It is a great value for your hard earned money.
Hands Down. It is more cost effective than most any other driveway or parking lot pavement surface.
You see, the specific mix design of what we now call
Superpave HMA (Hot Mix Asphalt) or you may
refer to it as blacktop,
bituminous concrete, tar or whatever else, requires only a fraction of the
quantity compared to those of other pavement materials like concrete. Simply put, we need less
material to pave your driveway or parking lot with asphalt then with any other pavement choice
available, and still achieve desirable long lasting results. A properly constructed and maintained
asphalt pavement, can achieve a life span of more than 30 years. The cost is very affordable
compared to that of other pavement choices and the long term benefits for your homes or
businesses investment are priceless.


In addition to the many perks blacktop offers, it is 100% recyclable. In fact it's America's #1 recycled
material today. This recycled product is called RAP or recycled asphalt product. RAP is added in small
amounts to new asphalt, helping to lower the cost. It also serves as an excellent base material for
Tar and Chip applications.


Compared to other durable options available,
asphalt costs less for all of us. Did you know that 90%
of paved highways and millions of driveways and parking lots in America today are constructed of hot
mix asphalt? Why do we continue to use asphalt? It costs less than other choices,
has excellent longevity, and is easy to
maintain.


Throughout the year, our climate provides us with a great variety of temperatures. Cold Winters, hot
Summers and everything in between. These temperature changes can cause troubles for some
pavement choices like concrete. Water can enter through the expansion joints, freeze and may begin
to cause cracks and heaves. These raised surfaces can cause walking trip hazards and make it
difficult to remove snow and ice.


Take a look at the driveways paved in your neighborhood and the parking lots of the stores we visit.
Most of them are constructed of asphalt pavement. Since asphalt keeps a certain amount of flexibility,
even during the Winter months, it doesn't have the tendency to crack and heave as easily as
concrete. Having your driveway or parking lot paved with asphalt is always a smart effective choice.
