  • How long do asphalt/blacktop pavements typically last?

    According to This Old House, with proper installation and maintenance, residential asphalt driveways typically last 15-20 years, while commercial pavements and roads can last 20-30 years. Factors affecting longevity include climate conditions, traffic volume, initial installation quality, and maintenance frequency.

  • What is the best time of year to install asphalt/blacktop?

    From our industry experience, late spring through early fall is ideal for blacktop paving installation, with temperatures between 50 and 90°F. Asphalt requires warm temperatures to properly compact and cure. Installation during cold or rainy weather can compromise quality and longevity.

  • Can asphalt/blacktop be installed over concrete or existing asphalt?

    Yes, with proper preparation. The existing surface must be structurally sound, properly cleaned, and may need to be milled or leveled. An adhesive tack coat is often applied to ensure proper bonding between the old and new materials.
