We require a minimum of 48 hours with vehicles before driving/parking on the surface unless otherwise
specified by a crew leader on the job site. Please keep in mind that new asphalt will take 6-12 months to fully cure.

This is considered scuffing. New asphalt is soft and flexible, making it more susceptible to scuffing. Hot weather makes the asphalt softer and more likely to scuff as well. Other factors that lead to scuffing include sharp turns, hard breaking, and steering (turning the front wheels of your vehicle while it is not moving).

Heavy vehicles bring a higher likelihood of this occurrence. The effects of scuffing are mostly aesthetic and will fade over time. Pavement will become harder and more resistant to scuffing over time.

In hotter weather you can water the area to cool the surface before driving on it to help prevent it from happening.

You do not need to be home though it is strongly encouraged if possible.

If you are not going to be home, please make sure the driveway is clear of all vehicles/trailers, etc. It does help our crew if your garage doors can be open during the installation process as this is a critical area. We will also need to make prior arrangements for payment as it is due upon completion of the work. Payment will be handled by our office personnel.

You can pay with a credit/debit card either over the phone or through our secured Quickbooks link.

All credit card payments will be charged an additional processing fee of 3.5% of the total amount proposed.

We will always take the most caution possible to prevent any potential damage from occurring, though some things cannot be avoided (such as scuff marks on driveway and/or street and also tracking in yard).

This will help to prevent damage in case of anything driving over/off of the edge. It also helps to prevent erosion which can undermine the asphalt causing the edges to crack/break.

Some areas of your driveway require the asphalt to be laid by hand due to the machine not being able to access and/or when pulls are being joined together (the joints where pulls come together). Although the appearance of the areas are different, there is no reason for concern.

If a crack should start to develop, please contact us at that time. Cracks are inevitable at some point in your driveway’s life span and they are impossible to predict as the main reason for any crack to develop is a shift in the ground below.

This has nothing to do with any weakness in the sub-base and most cracks are not a reason for concern.

Asphalt takes anywhere from 6 months to 1 year to cure depending on several factors. Seal-coating will protect the asphalt from elements such as UV rays/oil or gas spills/leaks and will also re-fresh the tone/color.
