  • What are the benefits of choosing asphalt over concrete?

    Asphalt is much more cost-effective than concrete. Concrete is also a calcium-based product, so when salt or ice melt is used it damages the concrete while ice melt and salt does not damage asphalt.

  • What are the benefits of seal coating your asphalt?

    To protect asphalt surfaces from deterioration brought on by exposure to chemicals, the elements, and everyday wear and tear, seal coating is a protective layer applied over asphalt surfaces, primarily driveways and parking lots. Seal coatings are a barrier against water infiltration, UV rays, and other potential hazards that could deteriorate and weaken the asphalt over time.

  • How long does it take to seal coat asphalt?

    The time it takes to seal coat asphalt can vary based on several factors, including the size of the driveway, the method used, and the specific conditions on the day of application.

  • What is pothole repair and why is it important?

    Repairing potholes involves filling in gaps or holes in road surfaces that have developed due to traffic wear and tear and the ground's normal expansion and contraction. These changes are frequently brought on by weather changes, particularly the freeze-thaw cycles in colder climates. These gaps can potentially enlarge over time and endanger both automobiles and people. Cleaning the area, removing any loose debris, and then filling the hole with fresh asphalt or a patching mixture are common steps in a repair. The site is often compacted after being served to achieve a smooth, long-lasting finish.

  • How often should I do crack filling?

    The amount of time you need to do crack filling depends on your asphalt surface’s wear and tear and the environment you’re dealing with. For surfaces that see a lot of traffic or are subjected to extreme weather conditions, it’s recommended to inspect and consider crack repair every one to two years.


    If you live in a less populated area or have a temperate climate, it’s probably best to do a check-up every couple of years. This way, you can spot any small cracks before they turn into bigger problems, so you don’t have to worry about costly repairs.


  • What is hot rubber crack filling?

    Hot rubber crack fill is a process used to fill cracks on asphalt surfaces, such as roadways, parking lots, and driveways. Hot rubber filling uses a hot liquid rubberized material to penetrate deep into cracks. This process creates a durable, flexible seal that expands and contracts with temperature changes. This seals the cracks and prevents them from spreading or deepening.

  • How long does it take to apply a hot rubber crack filler?

    The amount of time it takes depends on the size of the cracks and the surface area. For a standard residential driveway, a hot rubber crack filler can be applied in a few hours with minimal attempts. For larger areas, such as commercial parking lots and roads, it may take a day or more.
