What is asphalt paving?

Asphalt paving is a process of laying a mixture of asphalt, aggregates, and binders to create a durable and smooth surface for roads, driveways, parking lots, and other areas.

Asphalt is preferred for its flexibility, quicker installation, and cost-effectiveness. It can withstand freeze-thaw cycles better and requires less maintenance compared to concrete.

The lifespan of asphalt pavement can vary based on factors like usage, climate, and maintenance, but a well-constructed and maintained asphalt surface can last 15 to 20 years or more.

The cost is influenced by factors such as the area’s size, thickness of the asphalt layer, site preparation, accessibility, and any additional features like curbing or drainage.

Yes, existing asphalt can often be resurfaced through a process called overlaying. Cracks and potholes can also be repaired using various methods, depending on the extent of the damage.

Light traffic can usually resume within a day or two after paving, but it’s recommended to avoid heavy or sharp turning traffic for a week to allow the asphalt to fully cure.

Driveway paving costs can vary based on several factors. On average, you can expect to pay between $3.50 and $5 per square foot for driveway paving.

Parking lot paving costs can vary significantly, typically ranging from $3.40 to $7 per square foot. The final price hinges on various factors, including the size of the lot, its geographical location, and the complexity of the project.

Spring and summer are usually the best seasons for asphalt paving as warmer temperatures facilitate proper compaction and curing of the asphalt.

Regular maintenance such as sealcoating, crack filling, and keeping the surface clean from debris can extend the life of your asphalt pavement.

Sealcoating is the process of applying a protective layer to the asphalt surface, which helps prevent damage from UV rays, water, and chemicals, and enhances its appearance.

The process typically involves site preparation, grading, compacting the sub-base, applying a binder layer, placing the asphalt mixture, compacting it, and finally, ensuring proper curing.
