Our Paving Services
Driveway pavingNew Paving is the building of new asphalt surfaces. First, excavation and grading of the area is done to establish the desired grade and drainage. Then a base of aggregate is placed and compacted. Finally, a specifically designed asphalt hot mix is applied to present a finished surface based on the customer's needs. Also under this category would be Removal and Replacement of existing asphalt. If the asphalt has deteriorated from a lack of maintenance, overuse, or simply living past its life expectancy. In this case, old asphalt pavement will need to be removed and replaced. If needed, this would be when more base stone or base hot mix could be added before applying a new layer of surface asphalt.
Driveway sealing
Seal Coat acts as a flexible barrier coating, increasing the life span of your investment.
Benefits of seal coat for pavement maintenance:
■Protect and extend the lifespan of your driveway or parking lot
■Prevents water from penetrating the surface which leads to cracking
■Protects against oxidization from the sun (paving materials become dry, brittle)
■Prevents erosion of asphalt
■Costs pennies a square foot compared to repairs
■Prevents oils and salt from breaking down the asphalt
■Aides water run off
■Limits pooling of water
■Slows down surface cracking
■Prevents slip and fall injuries
■Enhances the aesthetics and curb side appeal of property
Signs that your driveway or parking lot needs to be sealed:
■Discoloration of asphalt (fades from black to gray)
■Hairline cracking
■Uneven wear of past seal coat

Maintenance Tip
- Here are some tips to ensure long term satisfaction with your new driveway or parking lot:
- •A good rule of thumb is to keep all vehicles off new asphalt for 7 days to ensure adequate time for the asphalt to cure, or harden. Please note that hot summer temperatures may extend this hardening time.
•You may WALK on the driveway after 24 hours, but please refrain from using high heels, roller blades, lawn tractors, or bicycles on the asphalt surface.
•Asphalt is extremely susceptible to chemicals during the hardening process. Gasoline, antifreeze, oil, diesel fuel, or household chemicals can cause discoloration, cracking or disintegration. Please take care that none of these, or other corrosive substances, come into contact with the asphalt. After the driveway hardens these chemicals will still have damaging effects on your driveway, but at a slower rate.
•We recommend that the driveway be seal coated every 2-3 years, or as desired, after installation. To reduce damage to the edges of the asphalt be sure to back fill the edges with dirt and/or grass. Do not drive on the edges of the driveway.
•Delivery drivers, repair servicemen, or visitors may not know your driveway is new. Overweight vehicles or drivers turning their wheels in place will blemish the surface of the asphalt. Plow trucks with chains will damage the surface, even after hardening off.
•Motorcycle kickstands, auto jack stands, etc. will leave impressions in new asphalt and during prolonged periods of hot weather.
