Summer Is Peak Paving Season

Warm temperatures in Southern Maine create ideal conditions for asphalt installation, allowing for proper curing and long-lasting results.

Homeowners in Portland, Falmouth, Yarmouth, and surrounding areas often schedule driveway projects in June to take advantage of the season.

The Driveway Installation Process

A professional asphalt driveway installation typically includes:

• Excavation and removal of old materials
• Grading and preparing the base
• Installing a strong gravel foundation
• Laying and compacting hot asphalt
• Final smoothing and finishing

Each step plays a critical role in ensuring durability and performance.

How Long Does It Take?

Most residential driveway installations can be completed within a few days, depending on the size and condition of the site.

After installation, it’s important to allow time for curing before heavy use.

• Size and layout of the area

• Accessibility of the property

A professional estimate will give you a clear understanding of what to expect.
