The process usually takes two days. The first day is reserved for removing the old asphalt, re-grading the driveway, installing gravel, and any excavation if required. The second day is reserved for re-compacting the gravel base and asphalt paving. We recommend refraining from driving for 3-4 days, excluding the asphalt paving day. However, depending on the base conditions, additional days may be necessary to allow for proper gravel settling and for village inspection if required. You can drive on the existing gravel base to help further compact it. However, be cautious as aggressive driving may ruin the established grade and cause the inspection to fail.
