What is Asphalt Paving?

Asphalt paving, also known as asphalt pavement, is a construction technique that involves the application of a mixture of asphalt (a sticky, black, and highly viscous substance) and aggregate materials (such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone) to create a durable and smooth surface on roads, driveways, parking lots, and other outdoor areas.

The Asphalt Paving Process

Site Preparation: The first step involves preparing the site by removing any existing pavement, grading the surface, and addressing drainage issues.


Base Installation: A strong, well-compacted base is crucial. It provides stability and prevents cracking. The base layer is typically composed of crushed stone.


Asphalt Installation: Hot-mix asphalt is prepared off-site and transported to the project location. It is then spread and compacted using heavy machinery.


Compaction: Compaction is essential to ensure the asphalt is firmly in place and has the required density.


Finishing Touches: Once the asphalt is in place, finishing touches like striping and signage can be added, depending on the project's purpose.

We are experts at asphalt paving, sealcoating, resurfacing, and restoration. We use state-of-the-art equipment and utilize industry-standard, certified “Sealmaster” products in our restoration process.

Asphalt Paving Maintenance

Sealcoating: Regular sealcoating protects your asphalt surface from the damaging effects of UV rays, water, and chemicals. It helps maintain its color and prevents cracks.


Crack Repair: Promptly addressing cracks with crack fillers can prevent them from spreading and causing more extensive damage.


Regular Inspection: Regular inspections can help identify issues early, allowing for timely repairs and prolonging the life of your asphalt surface.

Benefits of Asphalt Paving:

  • increases roads durability to weather
  • more cost-effective than concrete
  • quick installation with only minimal traffic disruption
  • enhanced safety and traction control
  • provides a smooth surface for sweeping and cleaning
  • a smooth and durable riding surface

Asphalt Paving Saves Money

Asphalt is one of the most cost-effective paving materials available. Initial installation costs are lower than alternatives like concrete, and its speedy installation reduces labor expenses.

Benefits for the Environment

Recyclability: Asphalt is one of the most recycled materials globally. Reclaimed asphalt can be incorporated into new paving projects, reducing the demand for virgin materials.


Energy Efficiency: Asphalt's dark color absorbs and retains heat, reducing the need for additional heating in cold climates and providing a comfortable surface for pedestrians.


Stormwater Management: Permeable asphalt options allow rainwater to penetrate the surface, reducing runoff and minimizing the risk of flooding.


Lower Carbon Footprint: Asphalt production typically has a lower carbon footprint compared to other paving materials, making it a more sustainable choice.

Asphalt paving offers numerous advantages, from cost-effectiveness and durability to environmental benefits.
