Frequently Asked Questions

Specific answers regarding our New Asphalt Paving parameters, schedules, and costs in Athens.

What is the lifespan of new asphalt in Athens?

A new asphalt driveway in Athens, TX typically lasts between 15 and 25 years depending on traffic patterns and preventative sealcoating schedule.

How long does a new paving project take?

Most residential driveways are fully paved and compacted in just 1 to 2 days. Commercial parking lots take 2 to 4 days.

How soon can I drive on the new paving?

We recommend keeping vehicles off fresh hot-mix asphalt for 24 to 48 hours, especially during hot East Texas summer months.

Why is aggregate base compaction so critical?

If the crushed stone base is not compacted to maximum density, the asphalt layer above will quickly settle and crack under heavy loads.

Do you handle site clearing and excavation?

Yes. K.A.B provides complete site clearing, topsoil removal, and grading as part of our full paving contracting package.

Does water ruin fresh asphalt pavement?

Freshly laid hot-mix is water-resistant. However, standing water must be graded out so it does not seep under the edges over time.
