Asphalt Paving involves laying down a fresh layer of asphalt over a prepared foundation and base to create a new driveway or roadway. Asphalt can also be laid over pre-existing asphalt to cover up cracks and pits in the roadway or driveway, providing a fresh, new look. This is called resurfacing and can only be done when the surface is damaged but the integrity of the asphalt's foundation is sound. Using asphalt for you driveway, roadway, or parking lot creates a beautiful surface to drive on that is both durable and cost-effective.
Cracksealing is the first step in asphalt maintenance. Special types of asphalt materials are spread over cracks that have formed due to freezing and thawing water, high traffic, or aging. Sealing these cracks helps keep moisture out and can significantly extend the life of your asphalt. Before the crack sealant is applied, the cracks are cleared of grass and other debris. Cracksealing is the cheapest form of asphalt maintenance, however, cracksealing will not fix cracks formed from foundational problems, only cover them up.
Sealcoating is one of the most important services in asphalt maintenance. The process involves applying a layer of sealant to asphalt. This layer will protect the surface of the asphalt against damaging elements, such as water, oil, gasoline, salt, and ultraviolet rays from the sun. These elements can degrade the surface of the asphalt. In addition, seal coating provides a slip resistant surface for vehicles, along with a rich, black finish that brings new life to any driveway or parking lot. Sealcoating is not a fix for already damaged asphalt, but rather a preventative measure to reduce the likelihood and severity of issues in the future.
