Step 1: Removing Old Materials
If we’re not starting with a completely clean slate, the first step is to remove any existing asphalt or concrete. This demolition process ensures we’re working with a solid foundation for the new pavement. Our fully equipped fleet of machinery allows us to break up and recycle old materials for future use, ensuring sustainability in our paving projects.
Step 2: Grading and Sloping the Surface
Proper grading and sloping are crucial for the success of any asphalt paving project. These steps ensure that rainwater drains effectively, preventing potential water buildup and damage to the pavement. Our skilled team utilizes the right tools and techniques to grade and slope the surface to perfection, ensuring long-term durability and proper drainage.
Step 3: Building the Sub-Base Layer
The sub-base layer is the cornerstone of a strong, durable pavement. This foundational layer supports the asphalt and helps prevent frost damage in colder climates. After laying down the sub-base, we carefully compact it to create a solid, stable foundation capable of withstanding heavy loads for many years.
Step 4: Installing the Binder Layer
Next, we install the binder layer, also known as the base coat. This layer is coarser than the top coat, consisting of large aggregate pieces that provide strength and stability to the pavement. The binder layer also serves as the foundation for the top layer of asphalt, allowing it to bond securely to the surface.
Step 5: Laying the Top Layer of Asphalt
With a solid sub-base and binder layer in place, it’s time to lay down the top layer of asphalt. This is the final surface that you will see once the paving project is completed. Typically, the top layer is jet-black and consists of fine aggregate, providing a smooth, durable finish for your driveway or parking lot.
Step 6: Smoothing Transitional Areas
Once the top coat is laid, we ensure smooth transitions between new and existing asphalt. This step is essential for maintaining consistent pavement thickness and achieving proper drainage. Our attention to detail ensures that your new asphalt surface is seamlessly integrated with surrounding areas.
Step 7: Performing the Final Roll
After all layers are in place and transitions are smoothed, we complete the process with a final rolling step. This ensures the entire surface is compacted and perfectly smooth. The result is a high-quality, durable asphalt pavement that’s ready for use in just 48–72 hours!
At the end of this process, your new asphalt pavement will not only look great but will also be designed to withstand heavy traffic and the test of time. Whether you’re paving a driveway, parking lot, or roadway, our expert team ensures each step is carefully executed for optimal results.
