The best time of year for our paving contractors to install a new driveway in Minnesota is from late spring through early fall, typically between May and September. This timeframe provides the warm ambient temperatures and dry soil conditions necessary for asphalt to bond and cure with maximum durability. By scheduling your project during these months, you avoid the risks of ground frost and premature cooling, which ensures that Rum River Contracting delivers a smooth, professional finish that stands up to our harsh local climate.

Absolutely. Our paving and parking lot contractors can perform an asphalt overlay as long as your existing base is structurally sound. While small surface cracks are easily covered, any areas with extensive cracking should be professionally replaced before resurfacing to prevent the damage from 'reflecting' through the new layer.

Our expert paving contractors suggest waiting a couple of days for parking, but a brief drive into a garage or onto an apron could happen within the same day. This would also depend on the temperature. In the heat of the summer, you might want to wait a few extra days before parking on it. Parking on an incline or turning your wheels while parked can also be hard on a new asphalt driveway. Typically, we have found that an asphalt driveway can take up to three years to fully cure.

In our experience, a typical asphalt driveway lasts between 15 and 30 years, depending on the soil it was laid on and the kind of wear it takes. Our professional asphalt contractors can help extend this lifespan significantly by providing timely patching and repair services that prevent small surface issues from turning into serious structural damage.
