Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new driveway cost?โ–ผ
Driveway costs range from $2-$30 per square foot. A typical 2-car driveway (500 sq ft) costs: Gravel $1,000-$2,500, Asphalt $2,500-$5,000, Concrete $4,000-$7,500, Pavers $7,500-$15,000.
Is asphalt or concrete better for a driveway?โ–ผ
Concrete costs more upfront but lasts longer and needs less maintenance. Asphalt is cheaper, more flexible (better in cold climates), but needs resealing every 3-5 years. In hot climates, asphalt can soften. Choose based on climate and budget.
How long does driveway installation take?โ–ผ
Gravel driveways take 1-2 days. Asphalt takes 1-2 days (plus 3-7 days curing). Concrete takes 2-4 days (plus 7 days curing before use). Pavers take 3-5 days. Remove and replace adds 1-2 days.
When should I replace my driveway?โ–ผ
Replace when you see: large or numerous cracks, significant settling or heaving, drainage problems, crumbling edges, or potholes. Asphalt driveways typically need replacement at 15-20 years, concrete at 25-30 years with proper maintenance.
Can you put new driveway over old?โ–ผ
Asphalt can sometimes be overlaid on existing asphalt if structurally sound (saves 30-40%). Concrete cannot be poured over old concrete. Pavers can be installed over stable concrete. Full removal is best for long-term results.
