Not much maintenance other than sealing it once every 3 years at the owner’s discretion.
Sealing prevents the elements from permeating your driveway, making the surface last longer and look like new again.
Yes. Scotty’s provides a 1-year warranty on workmanship and materials. It does not include normal wear and tear, abuse, or weather or ground cracking or weed/grass through the pavement.
Asphalt tends to be smoother and more affordable than concrete. Asphalt allows for more ground shift because it is flexible. When a harder surface fails, it can fail dramatically. If an asphalt surface were to fail it is easier and less expensive to fix. Sealing an asphalt driveway makes it look like new, unlike a harder surface.
You may walk on your new driveway immediately, but keep automobile traffic off it for a least 3 full days and longer in hotter temperatures.
There are certain groups that move around the United States who will go door-to-door promising an instant driveway without planning or proper base work. These people will generally disappear shortly after collecting your money. They do not truly warranty their work. The price that seems good at the time will most likely be for a thin surface that will cost more to fix later than it would have cost to do it right the first time.
The components of asphalt can be simplified into two major components; liquid asphalt cement and aggregates. The liquid asphalt cement (often called asphalt “binder”) is material that coats the aggregate particles and acts as the glue that holds the mix together. The aggregates may consist of natural aggregates (river gravel and sands) or processed aggregates (from quarry and blasting operations). The aggregates provide the structure and framework that gives an asphalt mixture its stability and strength. Another vital component to a well-constructed asphalt pavement is the presence of air voids in the mixture. The amount of air voids in the asphalt is controlled through the aggregate gradation and the quantity of liquid asphalt. The proper blend of asphalt and aggregates is determined prior to construction (during the mix design phase) in order for the mixture to have the desired properties.
