Asphalt and chip seal are both suitable options for residential driveways and roading
For residential driveways, carports and pathways we offer both asphalt and chip seal. Each has its benefits.
Asphalt
Asphalt is a long-wearing, resilient material that can withstand extreme weather and heavy traffic. It provides a smooth, good-looking finish at a more cost-effective price than concrete. Asphalt is usually quick to lay, reducing the disruption to your everyday life.
Chip seal
For longer driveways or minor roads, such as those in more rural areas, chip seal can be a good alternative. Chip seal is more cost-effective than concrete and asphalt, especially for larger areas, and provides good grip and durability. It is also quick to lay and can be driven on almost immediately.
Full service from prep to after-care advice
As experienced asphalt and chip seal contractors, we can take care of the whole project for you.
We begin with a site visit and measurements to provide you with a detailed plan and accurate quote. Once the quote is confirmed and the contract is signed, we’ll provide a time frame for the project completion, which can range from a morning to two days, depending on the job's complexity.
We understand that having work done on your property can be disruptive. That’s why we strive to complete our installations as quickly as possible without compromising on quality.
Once the installation is complete, we'll let you know the best way to ensure your new driveway remains in good condition.
A properly installed and maintained asphalt driveway can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years, depending on factors such as climate, usage, and maintenance. Chip seal lasts for around 20 to 30 years.
For asphalt, you can typically walk or drive on the surface within 24-48 hours, while chip seal can often be driven on almost immediately after installation.
Yes, both asphalt and chip seal can be installed on sloped surfaces. Our team will assess the site and ensure proper grading and drainage to prevent future issues. If your driveway is steep, we apply a thicker layer of asphalt to ensure durability and stability. This added depth helps prevent cracking and potholes, which are common issues with older driveways.
Yes, asphalt installation is best done in warm, dry conditions to ensure proper curing. We will schedule your project accordingly and may need to adjust the timeline if poor weather conditions arise. Chipseal driveways are laid seasonally - mainly between October and April. Asphalting can be done all year round.
Basic maintenance includes sealing the driveway every few years, filling any cracks as soon as they appear, and ensuring proper drainage to prevent water damage. If needed we can carry out driveway maintenance including pothole repairs.
