A Beautiful driveway that enhances the home
As a prospective buyer walks up to your home, one of the first things he or she likely will see is your driveway provided it is not populated by vehicles. He/she will see the driveway and the home’s exterior front area before seeing the inside of the home. The driveway of most Ontario homes is at the front though we seen some at the side. So in short, the driveway adds to or subtract from the home’s curb appeal.
Standing water
The driveway may become un-leveled or have impressions often caused by the weight of parked vehicles in the same spot over time. The result is that rain water will settle in these areas. Anywhere, that water collects and sits for long periods will eventually be damaged. Water getting between the aggregate and going through freeze-thaw cycles in our northern climate is what causes the damage.
Ravelling
Asphalt drive way consist of aggregate (gravel) and a binder. The sun’s ultraviolet rays causes the binder to deteriorate. The result is that the gravel becomes loose. What also compounds this problem is that water can now get into the asphalt resulting in both problem 1 and problem 2 occurring at the same time.
Settlement and Shrinkage
One that we see a lot in homes is when the driveway is close to 15- 20 years old, or not maintained properly is settlement and shrinkage. The result of which is the driveway level drops a few inches lower relative to the garage floor for example. We have seen as much as a 4 inch (100 mm approx.) differential in a some cases.
Supporting Plant Life
Ravelling and shrinkages will support cracking. If the job was poor in the beginning all these will happen more quickly after installation. As cracking begins dirt and moisture will set in. These are the ingredients needed to for plant life. So grass and weeds will soon follow providing the driveway with an unsightly seen
