Expert Asphalt Paving Services
Asphalt paving is a paving method of applying a new layer of asphalt to a deteriorating surface. Rather than tearing up an old asphalt surface entirely, an asphalt paving project will use the existing layers as a base for the new asphalt pavement.
The top three factors when determining if an asphalt paving is a good solution
1. Size
The size of the parking lot plays a big role. If a parking lot is small, the preparation work needed to perform an overlay becomes a larger portion of the overall cost. This may result in removal and replacement being a more cost-effective option.
2. Pitch
If the parking lot is on the flatter side, the amount of required milling to make a proper joint to overlay increases. If there ends up being a significant amount of milling, it may end up being more cost-effective to simply remove the existing driveway and start from scratch.
3. Cracking
Any cracking in the existing parking lot will reflect through the new overlay over time. The exact amount of time it will take to reflect varies on surrounding soils in the area. It can take years or can happen the very first winter. The time frame for reflective cracking is an unknown but it most definitely will occur.
