Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a new driveway in Fortville?

Yes, Hancock County requires a permit for new driveways, driveway expansion, or conversion from gravel to asphalt. Sealcoating is considered maintenance and typically does not require a permit. We handle permit coordination for you.

How often should I seal coat my driveway?

Most homeowners benefit from sealcoating every 2-3 years to maintain protection against UV rays, water, and Midwest road salt. The exact interval depends on your driveway's age and sun exposure.

What causes potholes and how do you repair them?

Water seeping through small cracks weakens the base material, and freeze-thaw cycles expand and collapse the pavement, forming potholes. We use infrared patching to heat the surrounding asphalt and blend new material seamlessly.

Can you handle parking lot striping for businesses?

Yes, we stripe parking lots with ADA-compliant markings, directional arrows, crosswalks, and handicap spaces. We use professional-grade paint that resists fading and meets local regulations.

What makes asphalt better than concrete for driveways?

Asphalt is more flexible, easier to repair, and friendlier in freeze-thaw climates. Concrete cracks in cold weather, while asphalt's flexibility prevents freeze damage. Asphalt also costs less upfront and is simpler to maintain.

How do you ensure good drainage on new driveways?

We crown the driveway surface so water sheds to the sides, prepare proper base materials for subsurface drainage, and check local slope requirements. Good drainage prevents water from pooling and weakening the base.
