Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re planning a paving project, you may have several questions about the process, costs, and maintenance. Below are answers to some of the most common asphalt paving questions in Atlanta GA to help you make informed decisions.
How long does asphalt paving last?
A professionally installed asphalt surface can last 15 to 25 years depending on factors such as traffic levels, weather conditions, and maintenance. Regular sealcoating and timely repairs can significantly extend the life of your pavement.
How long does it take to install a new driveway?
Most driveway paving projects can be completed within one to two days, depending on the size of the driveway and site preparation requirements. Larger projects or areas that require additional grading may take slightly longer.
How soon can I drive on new asphalt?
What causes cracks in asphalt?
Cracks in asphalt can occur due to several factors, including:
Weather changes and temperature fluctuations
Water penetration beneath the pavement
Heavy traffic loads
Aging asphalt surfaces
Prompt asphalt repair helps prevent these cracks from expanding into larger problems.
How do you repair potholes?
Pothole repair typically involves removing damaged asphalt, preparing the base layer, and applying fresh asphalt to create a smooth and durable surface. Professional repair ensures the pothole does not return quickly.
Is asphalt better than concrete for driveways?
Asphalt is often preferred for driveways because it is more flexible, cost-effective, and faster to install. It also performs well in changing weather conditions and is easier to repair if damage occurs.
How often should asphalt be maintained?
To keep your pavement in good condition, asphalt should be inspected regularly and maintained every few years. Maintenance may include crack filling, sealcoating, and minor repairs to prevent major damage.
