FAQ

With proper installation and regular upkeep (crack filling, and sealcoating every 1 to 2 years), a Mississippi asphalt driveway typically lasts 20 to 30 years.

About 24 hours for light vehicles, 48 to 72 hours for heavy trucks or trailers. New asphalt keeps curing for 6 to 12 months, so avoid sharp turns in place and parking heavy loads in the same spot while it hardens.

Every 1 to 2 years for driveways and parking lots, always two coats. On brand-new asphalt, wait 6 to 12 months for it to cure before the first coat.

Yes, always free and no obligation. For asphalt work, new pavement, driveways, overlays, and repairs, the owner comes out to check the grade, soil, and existing pavement, then we send a written quote from the office, often the same day. Sealcoating and striping we can usually quote from a few photos and details. No pressure, no hidden fees.

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

Square footage, what is there now and whether it has to be torn out, the base and soil, drainage, access to the site, and the traffic the pavement will carry. Every quote is free and written, with a line item and scope for each service.

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.

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.

Most jobs are scheduled within 2 to 3 weeks of the deposit, and urgent repairs can go sooner. The paving itself usually takes 1 to 2 days. A project that also gets sealcoating and striping usually runs 2 to 5 days.

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.

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.

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.

Sealcoating is a protective coating, applied in two coats, that shields the surface from sun, water, and oil. It adds no strength. Resurfacing is a new layer of asphalt laid over the old surface after repairs, and it only works when the base underneath is sound. Sealcoat every 1 to 2 years to put off the day you need to resurface.

Sealcoat once the asphalt has cured (6 to 12 months), then every 1 to 2 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.
