With proper installation and routine maintenance (sealcoating, crack repair), an asphalt driveway or lot can last 20–30 years before full replacement is needed.

Most residential driveways (up to ~800 sq ft) can be prepped, paved and rolled in 1–2 days. Larger commercial lots may take several days to a week, depending on size and site conditions.

Newly paved asphalt typically needs 24–48 hours to cool and harden enough for light traffic. Heavy vehicles should wait up to 72 hours to prevent indentations.

Sealcoating is a thin protective layer applied over the asphalt surface. It restores the dark color, blocks UV damage, resists oil spills and extends the pavement’s lifespan by up to 50 %.
