Frequently Asked Questions

Prices vary by job size, access, and prep work, but in general, a new asphalt driveway or parking lot costs about the same as buying a used compact car. For tighter budgets, asphalt millings offer a similar look at a much lower price point.

Millings are recycled asphalt materials that are compacted to form a solid surface. They’re cheaper than hot mix asphalt, require less maintenance than gravel, and are perfect for rural driveways, lanes, or farm yards.

Gravel shifts, washes out, and creates ruts over time. Asphalt gives you a clean, smooth surface that won’t wash away, improves curb appeal, and adds long-term value to your property.

In many cases, yes. Asphalt is faster to install, more affordable, and easier to repair than concrete. It also handles Midwest freeze-thaw cycles better due to its flexibility.
