A new asphalt driveway in Michigan City typically lasts 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Our weather, with its freeze-thaw cycles, can be tough on pavement, so we focus on good drainage and compaction. Regular sealing every 2-3 years helps protect it from UV rays and moisture. Without maintenance, you'll see cracking and potholes much sooner.
Paving a new asphalt driveway starts with proper site preparation, which is crucial for longevity. We'll excavate the area, ensure a solid base with compacted aggregate, and establish proper drainage away from your home. Then, we apply the asphalt in layers, compacting each one thoroughly to create a strong, smooth surface. The whole process usually takes a few days, depending on the size.
Yes, we can repair potholes and cracks in your Michigan City parking lot to extend its life and improve safety. For potholes, we clean out the area, square up the edges, and fill it with hot asphalt, compacting it for a seamless repair. Cracks are usually cleaned and filled with a hot rubberized sealant to prevent water intrusion. Addressing these issues early stops bigger problems down the road.
You can typically drive on a newly paved asphalt surface within 2-3 days after it's laid, but it takes longer to fully cure. We recommend avoiding heavy vehicles or sharp turns for at least a week, especially during hot Michigan City summers. The asphalt needs time to harden completely, so being patient helps prevent depressions or tire marks.
Your asphalt driveway needs sealcoating to protect it from the elements and extend its lifespan, especially here in Michigan City. Sealcoat acts like sunscreen and a waterproof barrier, preventing oxidation from UV rays and stopping water from seeping into the base. It also restores the rich black color and makes the surface easier to clean. We recommend sealcoating every 2 to 3 years.
