Frequently Asked Questions
How thick should my asphalt driveway be?
Residential driveways typically need 2-3 inches of asphalt over 4-6 inches of compacted gravel base. If you have RVs, boats, or heavy vehicles, we may recommend 3-4 inches of asphalt. Commercial applications require 3-4+ inches depending on traffic loads.
How long does asphalt paving take?
A typical residential driveway can be completed in 1-2 days, depending on size and required excavation. Commercial parking lots may take several days to weeks depending on size. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your estimate.
What's the best season for asphalt paving in Oregon?
The ideal paving season runs from late April through October when temperatures are consistently above 50°F and rain is less frequent. However, we can pave in cooler temperatures with proper material adjustments. We don't pave in rain or when temperatures are below 40°F.
How long before I can drive on new asphalt?
We recommend waiting 24-48 hours before driving on new asphalt. In hot weather, you may need to wait longer as the asphalt remains soft. Avoid sharp turns, parking in the same spot repeatedly, or placing kickstands on the surface for the first few weeks.
Do you remove old asphalt or concrete?
Yes, complete removal of existing pavement is included in our full-depth paving services. We excavate, haul away debris, and install new base and asphalt. In some cases, we can overlay existing asphalt if the base is sound, which reduces cost.
What's the difference between asphalt and blacktop?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but technically "asphalt" refers to the binder material while "blacktop" refers to the paving application. Hot-mix asphalt (what we install) is heated and applied hot, providing the strongest, most durable surface.
How much does a new asphalt driveway cost in Oregon?
New asphalt driveways typically range from $4-$8 per square foot installed, including excavation and base preparation. A typical 600 sq ft driveway runs $2,400-$4,800. Factors affecting cost include access, slope, removal of existing pavement, and base conditions. Contact us for a free detailed estimate.
Do you offer warranties on asphalt paving?
Yes, we provide written warranties on our paving work. Warranty terms vary based on the project type and specifications. We stand behind our workmanship and use of quality materials. Details are provided with every estimate.
