IS IT OKAY TO PARK MY CAR ON THE NEW DRIVEWAY?
+During the first six months to a year, your driveway is still curing. Take the following precautions during that time to keep your driveway looking great:
– Try not to park exactly in the same place every day.
– Don’t turn your steering wheel back and forth if your car isn’t moving.
– If you must use a car ramp or jack stand to work on your car, place some plywood under the ramp or jack to help distribute the weight. -
WHAT BENEFITS DO YOU GET WHEN USING HOT MIX ASPHALT?
+There are a few good benefits to be thankful for when using asphalt pavement for your home or property.
– Asphalt Pavement is strong and durable.

HOW DO YOU SEAL A DRIVEWAY?
-When sealing a driveway, the entire surface area must be cleaned of grease, oil, debris, sand, stones, etc.…Then any and all cracks must be cleaned out and filled with a crack filler/ hot tar compound. This allows for the smooth coat of sealant to be installed. Sealant can be brushed on or sprayed on. We use a brush-on sealing method. This allows for a thicker coat of sealant to be installed. We find this to work best for our customers. We recommend our customers wait a period of 24 hours before using the driveway after sealing.
