Asphalt Driveways
The look of your driveway is one of the first things people notice when they come to your property. Whether you are relocating or staying put, don’t forget your driveway – it is an essential part of a property’s hardscape. Economical, tough and long-lasting, driveways are also reasonably priced to preserve.
We guarantee to furnish you with a strong and lasting pavement that is useful and dependable for many years. We guarantee a driveway that is entirely aesthetically pleasing and its quality is revealed through its looks. We pride ourselves on the meticulous care taken from borders and corners to the appropriate compressing alongside structures and other pavements. The tamping of the edges is a significant factor to the robustness of the driveway. This provides suitable support against dissolving edges and giving your driveway a pleasant finished bearing of consistent lines and winding curves.
Built to be robust and resilient, asphalt driveways are constructed to handle the extreme temperatures of winter freeze and spring thaw. Asphalt paving projects are more easily and quickly done than concrete as it requires less steps to complete the installation and repairs.
Unlike concrete, asphalt installation and repairs can be done in less time as fewer steps are required to finish the paving project.

Asphalt Driveway Overstone
If you have a gravel drive that has become irregular, messy, mucky and unclean, it may be time to consider how to make it strong and sturdy.
Choosing Asphalt Overstone is advantageous as it usually does not necessitate excavation, thus reducing cost.
In first step we must assess the levels to guarantee the right grade and avoid the accumulation of water on the surface.
Next, by laying down a sub-base, a flat platform will be formed that is strong enough to hold the blacktop that is being applied on top of it.
In last step we install 3″ asphalt and compact it.
When should I do it?
Overstone is placed when the client already has a gravel base laid.
At any rate, our team must examine the depths and add up to two inches of gravel.
It is conceivable that a minor amount of digging may be needed for cleaning.

Driveway Overlay/Resurface
A resurface is a budget-friendly way of giving your driveway a facelift, if your priority isn’t its longevity. The expected duration of a resurfacing job is usually 7-10 years in areas with a consistent existing driveway surface, although spot repair may be necessary in certain locations.
Driveways can be resurfaced or “overlayed” with asphalt. The best candidate for a overlay is:
- A minimally cracked surface.
- The driveway is settled at leastat minimum 2″ low below the garage floor or has at least this amount of space from existing pavement to garage floor, city sidewalk, and entrance, and is in good to average [shape|condition}.
- The driveway is long and can have sections corrected independently; it is unlikely that smaller driveways will see any cost advantages due to the minimum payment that has to be made.

ASPHALT PAVING PROCESS
STEP 1.
DEMO & BASE PREPARATION
The team’s arrival will necessitate the taking away of the existing pavement of the driveway, the putting in of the fresh stone base, the leveling, and the packing down for the local village or city’s appraisal.
In the vast majority of cases, the driveway will be available for parking after the base is completed.
STEP 2.
INSPECTIONS
After the base is ready, we will arrange any necessary base inspections.
When the inspection is passed, the project pavement installation date will be set, usually 1-3 days after the base is ready, provided the weather allows it.
Generally, nobody needs to be present during the inspection in most villages, though the permit should be prominently displayed on a door or window of the front and approved plans must be accessible if necessary.
If a base inspection is not a requirement for some Villages, we will notify, and the paving can proceed promptly.
STEP 3.
PAVEMENT INSTALLATION
The asphalt workers will finish the driveway by pouring the asphalt and keeping it inaccessible to cars.
For construction, reach out to your local police department for permission to park on the road.

Abstain from allowing cars to remain in your driveway for prolonged durations.
Keep from going beyond the edges of the driveway when driving.
