Asphalt Driveway Overstone
If you have an irregular shaped driveway full of dirt, mud and disorder, it may be time to research how to form a stable gravel driveway.
Going with Asphalt Overstone is a sound decision as excavation is usually not necessary, thus lowering cost.
First, Verifying the levels is necessary to obtain the correct grade and keep the water from accumulating on the ground.
Next, establishing a sub-base will create a level surface that is strong enough to sustain the blacktop being put down on top of it.
In last step we install 3″ asphalt and compact it.
When should I do it?
Overstone is applied when the client already has a gravel base laid.
Nevertheless, our personnel must assess the heights and enhance up to two inches of gravel.
It is conceivable that a minor amount of digging may be needed for cleaning.

Driveway Overlay/Resurface
If the duration of your driveway isn’t a deciding factor, resurfacing is the most cost-effective way to make it look new. Resurfacing a driveway is usually good for 7-10 years when done on a firm existing driveway surface, though spot repair may be needed in certain regions.
Driveways can be resurfaced or “overlayed” with asphalt. The ideal candidate for a overlay is:
- A minimally cracked surface.
- The driveway is settled no more than 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 segments fixed 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
On their arrival, the team will strip the prevailing surface of the driveway, set up the new stone base, grade, and leave it compressed and prepared for inspection with the local town or municipality as necessary.
Generally, the driveway will be available to park on following the base being readied.
STEP 2.
INSPECTIONS
Once the base has been prepared, we will arrange any desired 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.
In most villages, it is not necessary for anyone to be present during the inspection, though it is compulsory for a permit to be visibly displayed on a front window or door, and approved plans to be made available in case of need.
We will make known if a base inspection is not necessary in some Villages, and paving can be done as soon as it is available.
STEP 3.
PAVEMENT INSTALLATION
The asphalt paving team will finish the driveway by pouring the asphalt and blocking it off from cars.
During construction, contact the local police department to acquire permission to park on the street.
