Best Driveway Paving Contractors in Passaic, NJ

With a properly installed asphalt paving surface using a good asphalt product, customers can expect the asphalt surface to last 20 or more years. With proper maintenance, many projects can last 20 years.

On some occasions, it is possible to apply a new layer of asphalt over an old layer. A qualified asphalt paving professional will need to inspect the site to make that determination. Unfortunately, overlays are often done on pavement surfaces that should be replaced entirely. Ask McFarlane Paving which procedure is best for you.

Nothing specific is required. It is best to wait at least 24 hours before driving on the new surface. We often advise that you wait longer during hot weather or when the sub grade is wet!

When your asphalt pavement is brand new the surface is very black. There may be times when you notice a slightly different complexion in the asphalt. This is because some areas must be hand raked as opposed to using the paving machine. After a short time of usage, however, the surface will blend together and have a very smooth appearance.

It can take up to 12 months for the liquid asphalt to completely harden and cure. The surface of asphalt will harden and soften as temperatures rise and fall. This is completely normal.
