Blacktop Driveways

Same craft. Local name for asphalt.

"Blacktop" and "asphalt" are the same hot-mix material — locally most homeowners call it blacktop. Same deep-base process, same real compaction, same clean edges.

Hot-mix at temp

Blacktop laid in the correct temperature window, not cold or overworked.

Base done right

Compacted stone sub-base — where cheap contractors cut corners.

Clean hand edges

Hand-raked edges against Belgian block, grass, or curb.

Warranty

Written workmanship warranty on every driveway we install.

Difference between blacktop and asphalt?

None — same material, different regional name.

Do you tear out old blacktop?

Yes — full demo, haul-away, and disposal included.

Is blacktop the same as asphalt?

Yes — same material, different name. The quality difference is in base depth, compaction, and mix.

Can you pave over my existing driveway?

Sometimes. If the base is stable, an overlay works. If it's cracked through or settling, it needs a full replacement.

How long does the job take?

Most residential driveways are demo'd, based, and paved in 1–3 working days.

Driveway Replacement

Full tear-out · Rebuild · Warranty

Full driveway tear-out, sub-base rebuild, and new asphalt install. When your existing driveway has base failure, alligator cracking, or major heaving, replacement is the honest answer.

Full demo & haul

Old driveway broken out, hauled, and legally disposed.

Sub-base rebuilt

Sub-grade cut and compacted stone base laid fresh.

New hot-mix

Fresh binder and top course rolled to density.

Belgian-block optional

Add Belgian block, granite curb, or paver aprons on the rebuild.

How long does replacement take?

Most residential replacements are 2–3 working days from demo to top course.

Cost range?

Residential replacements typically $8–$16 per sq. ft. installed.

Do you remove the old driveway?

Yes — full demo, haul-away, and legal disposal are included in the price.

How long does a replacement take?

Most are 2–4 working days from demo through final paving or paver install.

Can you widen the driveway?

Yes — widening, adding turnarounds, and regrading aprons are all part of a replacement scope.
