When properly maintained, asphalt pavement typically lasts between 15 and 25 years.

Residential driveways generally require 2 to 3 inches of asphalt thickness, whereas commercial parking lots need 3 to 4 inches or greater.

No, asphalt and concrete do not bond dependably, which results in a repair that will not last long.

You should wait a minimum of 24 to 48 hours before driving on new asphalt to avoid creating wheel indentations.

While the surface becomes firm relatively quickly, full curing may take several weeks or even months depending on weather conditions.

Prevent surface marks by avoiding sharp turns in the same spot and placing plywood beneath heavy objects such as trailer jacks.

Sealcoating should be done every 2 to 3 years to shield the binder from weather exposure and vehicle fluids. Contact O. Cooper Asphalt Paving LLC today to learn more.

Resurfacing involves laying a new top layer over an existing solid base, while repaving involves removing and replacing the entire pavement structure when the base has deteriorated.

No, frozen ground does not allow proper compaction of the base material, which significantly reduces pavement longevity.

Costs vary based on size and project specifics, with a medium double-car driveway typically ranging from approximately $1,200 to $5,600 depending on site preparation requirements.
