Permits, Right-of-Way, and ADA: Common Paving Questions
How much does asphalt driveway paving cost per square foot in Salt Lake City?
Costs depend on area, base prep, access, and edge details. We measure on-site and provide a clear per‑square‑foot quote.
What is the recommended driveway thickness for asphalt paving?
Most homes use about three inches of compacted material over a solid base. Heavier traffic zones may need thicker lifts and stronger edges.
How thick should a concrete driveway be in Salt Lake City?
Four inches suits passenger cars on a compacted base. Use five inches at approaches, turn-ins, or service paths.
How long before I can drive on new asphalt pavement?
Foot traffic is usually fine the same day in warm weather. Wait twenty-four to forty-eight hours before parking vehicles.
How long before I can drive on new concrete pavement?
Plan light vehicles after five to seven days in normal weather. Full design strength arrives around the twenty-eight-day mark.
When should I sealcoat an asphalt driveway?
Let the new asphalt cure for a full season before the first sealcoat. Reapply every two to three years based on traffic and sun.
Will de-icing salts damage my concrete driveway?
Salts can scale young concrete, especially during the first winter. Use sand or calcium-magnesium products and rinse residues in the spring.
What maintenance keeps an asphalt driveway looking new?
Support edges, seal cracks early, and sealcoat on schedule. Avoid leaving heavy trailers in summer heat without pads or ramps.
How do paver driveways hold up in freeze–thaw climates?
Pavers perform well on a stable, well-drained base with polymeric sand. Individual units lift out for spot repair without cutting.
What causes alligator cracking in asphalt, and how is it fixed?
Fatigue cracking points to a failing base or repeated overloads. We remove weak areas, rebuild the base, and patch in structural lifts.
