FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long will it take for my driveway to be ready for use?
Most concrete driveways are poured in 1–3 days, but they generally need about 2–3 weeks before you can safely park vehicles on them — the exact timing depends on Virginia’s weather and curing conditions.
What’s the difference between asphalt, concrete, and paver driveways?
- Asphalt is a flexible, cost-effective choice that handles temperature changes well and can be installed relatively quickly.
- Concrete offers a more permanent, sturdy surface. It can be finished in different ways—from smooth to decorative—and is well suited to heavy traffic.
- Pavers give you the most design flexibility. They come in various shapes, colors, and patterns, are repairable, and add aesthetic appeal to your property.
Will I need to wait to park on my driveway after installation?
Yes — waiting is important. For concrete driveways, Atlas General Contractors recommends waiting up to two or three weeks before parking, to ensure the concrete has properly cured.
How do weather and climate affect driveway installation in Virginia?
Virginia’s climate plays a big role in driveway curing, cracking, and long-term performance. Hot, humid summers, freezing winters, or heavy rainfall can slow down curing times, affect surface durability, or cause cracking if drainage isn’t managed properly.
How long does a driveway typically last?
The lifespan depends on the material and maintenance. Asphalt driveways usually last 15–20 years, while concrete driveways can last 25–30 years with proper care. Paver driveways may last even longer since individual pavers can be replaced as needed.
Do I need a permit to install a driveway in Virginia?
Yes, in most counties and cities in Virginia, a permit is required before starting driveway construction. This ensures compliance with local zoning laws, property lines, and safety regulations.
Can I customize the design of my driveway?
Absolutely. Homeowners can choose from different materials, finishes, colors, edging, lighting, and even decorative patterns for pavers or stamped concrete. Customization allows your driveway to match your home’s style while adding curb appeal.
