Is this regular asphalt?

It looks a little grayer than new, standard black asphalt. If it's a different material I would love to know. If you remember and can share the contractor would that would be awesome too. :) Thanks!

Hi Maryobb,

The driveway is aged asphalt - 7 years old in 2016….

Sorry I cannot remember the contractor name, but they messed up on the pitch near the garage and there is a puddle when it rains, so I would not recommend them even if I could remember.
