§ 02 · FAQ

Straight answers.

Q · 01 How long does an asphalt driveway last?
+

With proper installation and sealcoating every 3-5 years, a Mississippi asphalt driveway lasts 20+ years. Skip sealcoating and that number drops to 10-12.

Q · 02 When can I drive on a new asphalt driveway?
+

24 hours for light vehicles, 48-72 hours for heavy trucks or trailers. The surface keeps curing for 30 days, so avoid parking in the same spot every day the first month.

Q · 03 How often should I sealcoat?
+

Every 3-5 years for residential driveways, every 2-3 for commercial lots. Mississippi rain and heat shorten the interval compared to drier markets.

Q · 04 Is the quote really free?
+

Yes. The owner comes out, measures, and gives a written quote with no obligation. No pressure, no hidden fees.

Q · 05 What areas of Mississippi do you serve?
+

Jackson, Brandon, Madison, Ridgeland, Brookhaven, Hattiesburg, Vicksburg, and surrounding areas. If you are within an hour of those cities, call and ask.

Q · 06 What affects the price of a paving job?
+

Square footage, asphalt thickness, sub-base prep, access to the site, and tear-out of old material. Most residential driveways run $3 to $7 per square foot installed.

Q · 07 Should I pick concrete or asphalt?
+

Asphalt is cheaper upfront, easier to repair, and handles Mississippi heat with regular sealcoating. Concrete lasts longer (30-40 years) and looks cleaner, but costs more and cracks are harder to fix. We install both and will tell you straight which one fits your property.

Q · 08 How do I keep a gravel driveway from getting ruts?
+

Regrade once or twice a year and top off with fresh crushed stone every couple of years. Good drainage on the sides does more than any gravel choice.

Q · 09 Do you handle ADA-compliant parking lot striping?
+

Yes. We lay out accessible spaces, access aisles, and signage to current ADA specs. Required stall count scales with your total lot size, and we will size it right.

Q · 10 How long from quote to finished driveway?
+

Most residential jobs are scheduled within 2-3 weeks of signing. The paving itself takes 1-2 days. Commercial lots run longer depending on size.

Q · 11 Are you licensed and insured?
+

Yes. Fully licensed in Mississippi and carry general liability plus workers comp. Ask for a certificate of insurance before any crew steps on your property, from us or anyone else.

Q · 12 My driveway holds water. Can you fix the drainage?
+

Most of the time, yes. Standing water usually means the sub-base was never graded right. We regrade, add slope, and in some cases cut in a trench drain before laying new asphalt.

Q · 13 What time of year is best for paving?
+

March through October is prime. Asphalt needs ground temps above 50 degrees to compact right. We pave into winter when the weather cooperates, but spring and fall give the best results.

Q · 14 What is the difference between sealcoating and resurfacing?
+

Sealcoating is a thin protective layer that blocks water and UV. Resurfacing is a fresh 1.5 to 2 inch layer of asphalt over the old surface. Sealcoat every few years, resurface every 7-10.

Q · 15 What maintenance should I plan for?
+

Sealcoat at year one, then every 3-5 years. Fill cracks as they show up, usually once a year. Keep edges clear of grass roots. That routine keeps an asphalt driveway on the 20+ year track.
