ASPHALT PAVING PROCESS
STEP 1.
DEMO & BASE PREPARATION
Upon arrival, the team will take off the existing covering of the driveway, establish the fresh stone base, level out, leave it packed down and ready for review with the local village or city as directed.
Generally, the driveway will be ready to be parked on once the base is established.
STEP 2.
INSPECTIONS
Once the base has been prepared, we will arrange any desired base inspections.
After passing the inspection, the schedule for the pavement installation will be set, which usually is between 1-3 days after the base is ready, depending on the weather.
Most villages do not necessitate someone to be present for the inspection, but do require the permit to be visibly posted on the front window or door as well as have approved plans available if necessary.
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.

PAVEMENT INSTALLATION
The asphalt installers will complete the driveway by pouring the asphalt and making it inaccessible to traffic.
During construction, contact the local police department to acquire permission to park on the street.
