THERE ARE THREE METHODS OF PAVING

  • Option 1. Putting an inch to two inches of asphalt over an existing driveway, or parking lot.
  • Option 2. First we remove all existing asphalt and replace it with one coat that is three inches after being compressed.
  • Option 3. Replace one and a half inch class one binder coat, compact and then add second coat of one and a half inch class two asphalt.

Class one asphalt uses a half inch stone in the mix. Class two asphalt uses three eighths stone in the asphalt mix. Class three is a curbing mix, with very little stone at all.

DRIVEWAY OVERLAY DESCRIPTION

We start by repairing any potholes that may exist in the driveway or parking lot. Then we clean the surface. Once the surface has been properly prepared, we use tack coat (heat-activated glue only used on asphalt) to adhere the new surface to the existing asphalt. This method is more economical than replacement paving.
