Driveway Paving Must Meet Important Guidelines
Specific guidelines must be followed when paving a driveway. The minimum width for a single automobile driveway is eight feet. However, ten feet is more desirable. Many of our customers opt to add two additional feet of asphalt for walking space. If you’re like most families today, you have more than one automobile at home. A driveway with a width of twenty feet allows you to open all the doors of two vehicles at once. Asphalt for a new driveway also needs to be at least two inches thick, with three inches (compacted) being more common. To allow for proper drainage, the surface of your driveway should blend with the existing ground. We aim for unobstructed surface water to run over or away from the driveway to avoid standing water issues.
