Proper maintenance of asphalt paving includes sealcoating 1 year after the initial installation and resealing the paving every 2-3 years afterward.

Asphalt goes through a process of compaction during the paving process. The height of asphalt loses a 1/4 inch for every inch of asphalt installed.

With proper maintenance, asphalt driveways can last 15-20+ years - depending on weather and level of wear.

We suggest letting new blacktop cure for a year depending on that year's weather.

Before driving on new asphalt, we recommend waiting 2-3 days after asphalt paving, waiting 24 hours after sealcoating, and we recommend waiting 5-6 days before driving over asphalt installed on a freshly laid base. We are happy to go over all your questions during your service as well.

There is not really any other color of asphalt besides black. Of the two types of sealcoating, one does have a glossier finish and the other is more matte.
