ALL ASH works with you to ensure your new asphalt driveway, retaining wall or edging looks great, is finished on time, lasts longer and is exactly what you want.
Free quotes. There’s more to quoting a new asphalt driveway than meets the eye. An accurate quote cannot be completed over the phone. ALL ASH will come to you and evaluate:
- The slope of your drive
- Drainage requirements
- Nearby tress and their potential impact on your driveway
- Suitability of existing drainage – you don’t want new driveway ruined from poor drainage
ALL Ash speaks with you to determine factors that influence the construction of your asphalt driveway:
- How heavy are the vehicles using it? How often will they use it?
- How is the current draininage?
Then we discuss options that will give your asphalt driveway the perfect finish for you:
- Which edging is best? Brick edging, bluestone pavers or another style you may not have considered?
These factors will enable ALL ASH to estimate effective depth of excavation and base depths which give you an accurate quote.
Part of our service is to discuss strategies that help lengthen the life of your works. With asphalt, the tighter you lay it – the better it looks, the longer it lasts and the more it repels stains. To achieve this, we use a 3 tonne multi tyre roller on all our works.

Concrete vs Asphalt
It’s a question we hear all time. There’s no hard and fast rule, but a lot of aspects to consider.
Asphalt is easy to repair: Asphalt moves with the earth making it resistant to cracking. In extreme cases, it may crack [usually due to nearby trees or poor drainage] If asphalt is easy to repair. If concrete cracks it cannot be repaired, but must be dug up and replaced.
- Asphalt does not require sealing or stencilling
- Asphalt is fast to dry and is a non-slip surface
- Asphalt reduces the effects of sunglare
Which is cheaper asphalt or concrete? Giving a definite answer can be misleading and in some cases wrong. There are so many variables that effect prices of both products. Gradient, depth, types of vehicles using the driveway, location of nearby trees, base requirements and delivery time, will alter the price. The ALL ASH team are experienced in assessing these situations which means you will receive accurate quotes.
