Asphalt

If it’s dirt, grass, gravel or an existing surface beyond repair, we can turn it into a fresh black mat of asphalt.

• The key to complete satisfaction with your new driveway is making sure the layout suits your needs. We work with our customers to ensure the layout they choose incorporates into their property in the best way possible.

• The preparation process begins by excavating areas that do not have a proper gravel base and rebasing to 12” in depth.

• Once the proper base is achieved it is time to make sure the grade of the driveway is correct. This ensures water drains properly away from buildings.

• Now that the grade is set correctly the base is compacted with a vibratory roller. This base serves as the foundation for your asphalt driveway. The asphalt is only as strong as the base underneath it.

• The base is now ready to receive a fresh 3” (the owner may request more) mat of asphalt. The asphalt is laid with a self-propelled paving machine. The job of this machine is to lay the asphalt at a consistent width and depth on the compacted gravel base. As the paver proceeds down the driveway, their crew ensures that the asphalt has straight edges and matches heights with all existing surfaces (i.e. garages, sidewalks, and roads). The hot asphalt is then compacted by a vibratory roller and then rolled again once it has cooled slightly to ensure a smooth finish.
