Few things can add a touch of sophistication to a home like a brand-new, jet-black Asphalt Driveway in Norwich CT. Small wonder it’s the most popular choice for most homeowners. In addition to a cleaner, more uniform appearance, asphalt will hold up against the elements better than most other materials, and is more easily repaired with no readily-visible signs. When properly installed by experienced professionals, an asphalt driveway will only need maintenance every two years or so. Although regular sealing can be accomplished by the homeowner, it’s usually a better idea to leave that to the professionals who have the equipment and expertise to do the job.
Even though there are a wide variety of materials which can be used for a driveway, asphalt continues to be the choice for the majority of homeowners. Gravel can provide a rustic look, but it needs to be replaced regularly and isn’t conducive to easy snow removal. Concrete is strong and durable, but it is subject to cracking and movement from ground heave during the winter months. Concrete also tends to show any stains from fluids leaking from vehicles and doesn’t handle the corrosive effects of road salt very well. An Asphalt Driveway in Norwich CT is also subject to the effects of ground heave, but repairs to asphalt, when required, are almost invisible to the naked eye. Stains are also almost impossible to spot on an asphalt surface.
The single most important aspect to an Asphalt Driveway in Norwich CT is its initial installation. By taking advantage of the services of an experienced, reputable paving company you can be assured that they will understand how critical it is to put down a sturdy layer of acceptable base material that will have no gaps or spots where moisture could leak in and create weak areas where the asphalt may be susceptible to cracking. Proper sealing is also critical to a paving project. Only commercial-grade sealant should be used and be aware of any additives that are used. The first coat should be laid down with a squeegee and the second coat sprayed on to guarantee coverage. Experts like The Driveway Guys can answer any paving questions during a free estimate.
