Blacktop (hot mix) driveway paving

We recently had our 450' long driveway paved with hot mix and made this video of the process. The contractor was M. Carroll Blacktop Service and they did an excellent job. Start to finish was about 3 hours. More information at: http://blog.austinweird.net

Looks like they dumped the 3 loads and sent them back for more

@DollarEightyLady Yes, they were a little short with the 3 loads and came back next morning to finish up.

It is in the US, just NW of Austin, TX. It is holding up really well and we have been happy with the job they did.

How is the pavement holding up after 8 months?

[austinweird1]

Seems to be doing fine. I have not seal coated it yet but, will get that done in a few months.
