Commercial Asphalt Demolition & Replacement

Remove the Old. Rebuild from the Base. Deliver a Surface That Lasts.

When your asphalt surface is beyond repair—cracked, settled, or structurally compromised—Total Paving & Brick Services provides full-depth demolition and replacement services that rebuild your lot from the ground up. We remove all failed materials, reconstruct a compacted stone base, and install fresh, high-performance asphalt designed for heavy use and long-term durability.

This is the right choice when patching or resurfacing can’t fix the root cause—and you need a clean start.

What Is Full-Depth Asphalt Replacement?

Full-depth replacement involves completely removing the existing asphalt and base layers down to subgrade. A new stone base is then installed and compacted, followed by fresh asphalt laid to commercial-grade thickness. This process is ideal when the pavement failure goes beyond the surface and includes structural or drainage issues.

Common causes for replacement include:

  • Alligator cracking across large areas
  • Base failure or shifting subgrade
  • Poor drainage or water pooling
  • Long-term neglect or poor prior installation
  • Extensive potholes or sinking areas

  • Site-Specific Design – We assess your base, traffic load, and drainage to build the right structure

  • Proven Process – From demolition to finish rolling, we follow strict installation standards

  • Durable Materials – High-quality aggregates and asphalt mixes selected for Midwest conditions

  • Any lot with underlying base failure or water damage

What’s Included in Our Demolition & Replacement Process

Every project starts with a full inspection to determine the cause of failure and the depth of required removal. Our scope typically includes:

  • Saw cutting and removal of existing asphalt
  • Excavation of failed stone base or soft subgrade
  • Installation and compaction of new gravel base
  • Fine grading and slope correction for drainage
  • Installation of fresh asphalt (base and surface lifts)
  • Finish rolling, joint sealing, and cleanup
  • Optional striping, signage, and ADA updates

We match your site’s needs to the proper pavement thickness and base design for years of stable, safe use.
