If you
closely examine 100 different asphalt driveways, you will probably
get 100 different results. Driveways can differ in appearance and
durability based on a variety of factors. Here are three things that
can make or break your next paving project.
The Right Materials
Your
driveway will only be as strong and durable as the concrete used to
pave it. Not all asphalt mix is created equal, and different types
are better for certain driveways. At Stasi Brothers, we only use
asphalt that is approved by the New York Department of
Transportation, including the following mixes:
- 1-AC = Smooth finish, ¼ stone
- 1-A Top = Smooth finish, ½ stone
- 1-A Binder = Road base mix
The Right Contractor
Even
the best materials in the world can't produce a quality driveway
without the work of a skilled contractor. Asphalt paving is both a
science and an art; the heavy machinery used requires specialized
training to operate, but the best contractors display a high level of
workmanship and attention to detail that brings the project together.
All of our employees are highly-trained and experts in their craft –

A Proper Sealcoat
Sealcoating
your driveway is the metaphorical icing on the cake. After the
asphalt has been mixed, laid, and compacted, a properly-applied
sealcoat will add an extra layer of protection to your new driveway.
Sealcoating is the main step in any good asphalt maintenance routine
– it protects your driveway from water, oils, UV rays, and
inclement weather. For more information about sealcoating, click here.
