How Much Does an Asphalt Driveway Cost?

What's under our Asphalt Driveways?

We begin by removing any existing pavement, followed by grading to ensure proper water drainage. Next, a 4-6 inch crushed gravel base is installed and compacted for stability, essential for withstanding local freeze-thaw cycles. A binder layer, composed of large aggregate mixed with oil, is then applied to provide additional strength. Over this, a 2-3 inch layer of hot asphalt is installed, ensuring thickness suitable for New Hampshire’s weather conditions. The surface is thoroughly rolled for smoothness and compacted to create a seamless finish. Final curing takes about 24 hours before use. This method ensures a durable, weather-resistant driveway.

Site Preparation

We begin by removing any existing pavement to create a clean surface for the new driveway. This ensures a solid foundation for the asphalt. Next, we excavate the area to the desired depth to provide ample space for the new driveway. Finally, we grade the area to ensure proper water drainage and prevent pooling, which can lead to damage.

Base Installation

We install crushed gravel base to provide a stable and durable foundation for the asphalt. This base helps to prevent future settling and cracking. The crushed gravel also improves drainage, allowing rainwater to flow away from the driveway and prevent water damage. Additionally, the base helps to distribute the weight of vehicles more evenly, reducing the risk of stress-induced damage.

Binder Layer Installation

We apply a binder layer composed of large aggregate mixed with oil. This layer acts as a binding agent, providing additional strength and stability to the driveway. It helps to prevent the asphalt from cracking and deteriorating over time. The binder layer also improves the asphalt’s resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations, ensuring a more durable and long-lasting driveway.

Asphalt Paving

To finalize we install the hot asphalt to create the finished surface of the driveway. We then roll and compact the asphalt thoroughly to ensure a smooth and even finish. This process also helps to bond the asphalt to the underlying layers, creating a strong and durable surface. Finally, we allow the asphalt to cure for approximately 24 hours before it can be used.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just had my patio done and from start to finish everything went amazing. From the moment they came for an estimate, to the moment they finished, everything went smoothly. All the workers were professional and worked so fast. There were no hidden costs, no surprises. Kristina in the office keeps you informed step by step from the point they send the estimate, selecting the brick, start of the project and even throughout the project. She even sent photos of different color combinations as I was indecisive at first. Can't wait to enjoy my backyard with family and friends this summer. Will definitely be using them for future projects to come.

Home projects can be stressful and feel like a chore between companies not showing up for estimates, hidden costs, poor workmanship, etc. That was not the case with James, Kristina and the rest of the crew. They made it feel like a breeze!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Affordable Patio is an amazing company! From the estimate, to the install and the clean up. We went online and more or less got a price on our own. We then scheduled an appointment with James, Kristina answered the phone and all of our questions, she’s was polite, knowledgeable and courteous! James came to give us an estimate and was able to figure out a way for us to get a fire pit! We always dreamed of a fire pit! When the install was getting done, the crew was courteous and walked us threw every step and cleaned up like we never had any work done!
5 ⭐️ I love them and recommend them to everyone!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial email that I sent for a quote, to the meeting with James, to the final finished project, I have nothing but excellent things to say about this company. It was an absolute pleasure working with Kristina throughout this whole process. She was very attentive and very quick with responses and questions that I had. Joe and his crew did beautiful work on my patio. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a backyard transformation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently had a patio done 18x 35 in size . The crew that came was one of the best that I have seen . They all worked as a team . The lead guy joe was great , explained every detail that was going to happen . They worked together and completed the job in a day and a half . The bob cat did rip up some grass but they brought in top soil and leveled. the  lawn to repair the damage . Clean up was just as good . The garbage was placed in bags , removed the dirt from the driveway . Filled the track marks with top soil . Did a great job and would use them again . The entire process was painless .

They not only did our backyard they also did stone work on the front  of our home and of course our front porch. The crew always cleaned up after their work day.. We couldn't be happier with  how our home turned out!
