Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my new asphalt driveway last?

A properly installed and maintained asphalt driveway in Sacramento, CA typically lasts 20–30 years. Regular sealcoating every 3–4 years and prompt crack filling significantly extend the usable life.

Can you pave over my existing driveway?

In some cases, yes. If your existing driveway is structurally sound with no major cracking or base failure, an overlay is possible. If the base has failed or drainage is poor, full removal and rebuild is the better approach. We’ll give you an honest assessment.

How thick should a residential asphalt driveway be?

A standard residential driveway in Sacramento is typically installed at 2.5–3 inches of hot mix asphalt over a 4–6 inch compacted aggregate base. We match thickness to your soil conditions and vehicle loading.

How long before I can drive on my new driveway?

Light vehicle traffic is typically okay after 24–48 hours. Full curing takes several months, during which we recommend avoiding parking heavy vehicles in the same spot repeatedly and not turning your wheels while stationary (which can scuff fresh asphalt).
