Asphalt is an incredible option for your driveway. It can last for decades and makes for an effective, reliable, and low-cost parking or play area. As you are in the decision making process of deciding which driveway material is right for you, time may be of the essence. If you are wondering how long it takes to actually acquire an asphalt driveway, this blog is for you!
Preliminary Steps
First, you will need to undergo a consultation and receive an estimate. When working with Epic Paving, this tends to take one to two business days. Within 1 business day of your call, we’ll contact you to arrange a convenient time for one of our experienced driveway consultants to visit your location. During that consultation, we’ll assess your soil conditions, measure the driveway, make recommendations, and answer all questions you may have. After the site visit, we’ll prepare an estimate for the job.
Scheduling the Installation
Scheduling your driveway installation is dependent on several factors. This can include our workload, your timeline, and even the weather. More often than not, your project will begin within 2 to 4 weeks. Bear in mind, this timeframe is also used to pull any necessary permits as well as arranging for all utilities to be located and marked prior to construction.
Installation Time
Installing your new asphalt driveway involves many steps, including removing old paving and installing the new sub-base. A day or so later, the paving can begin! For 3 to 5 days after this, curing takes place. Meaning you’ll have to keep all vehicles off the new pavement. But don’t worry, you’re still free to walk on your new driveway and admire the freshly paved surface.
Overall, from consultation to curing, you can expect acquiring your asphalt driveway to take around one month and a half.
There’s nothing like a freshly paved driveway to improve the appearance and value of a home and create a renewed pride of ownership. This is an affordable home improvement project that really makes a difference. Let Epic Paving help you with your asphalt installation project!
