Asphalt has various sizes of stone and sand, which cause a varied textured surface.

It is natural for areas that have been raked and worked by hand to appear a little rougher than areas paved by a machine. This should not be a concern.

Due to expansion and contraction of the ground, it is natural for random cracking of the pavement to occur. The cracks should be sealed promptly to prevent water from penetrating the asphalt and causing further deterioration of the pavement.
