"The most positive thing we have to say is that everyone was nice. The work, however, was a different matter. First, they warned us that there could be lot-to-lot variation in brick color. We were ready for that but our crew wasn't. The result is an unattractive splotchiness that even the crew who sealed our pavers found unacceptable. They won't be choosing to show any photos of our finished work on their portfolio. Second, the company fails to provide toilet facilities for their workers. We have three watchdogs in our home. We're not in a position to cover that obligation. Further, the guys didn't have goggles, face masks or gloves despite really extensive concrete dust in the air. We thought it abusive and were not comfortable. We mentioned it to our salesman to no avail. All communication had to be via iPhone Google Translate, and the project manager showed up only once and at that, for the first time two hours after the crew had arrived. We've hired decorative paver work before. I'm afraid this result was only marginally acceptable. Nice people, though. We did appreciate that."

An asphalt driveway should last 25 to 30 years, depending on the type of asphalt used, the climate, how well the foundation was prepared, the type of soil under the foundation, and how well you maintain your driveway. Maintaining asphalt by filling cracks and reapplying sealer every few years can help extend the life of your asphalt driveway.
When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:
How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
Do you use subcontractors on your projects?
Do you clean up after the job is done?
Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
What is the timeline for completion?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.
An asphalt driveway costs about $7 to $15 per square foot, including labor and materials. The cost will vary depending on your location, how thick the base material is, what prep is required, the thickness of the asphalt, and the accessibility of the job site. The national average cost to install an asphalt driveway is about $4,740.
