Asphalt Driveway Overstone
If your gravel driveway has become an irregular, mucky, dirty mess, you might need to figure out how to make it strong and solid.
Asphalt Overstone is the sensible selection since often excavation is not necessary, thus reducing cost.
First we check the level to have the correct grade so that standing water does not accumulate on the ground.
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 final step we install 3″ asphalt and compact it.
When should I do it?
Overstone installed when the client already has a gravel base laid.
Still, our personnel must examine the heights and heighten up to two inches of gravel.
A shallow dig may be compulsory to keep the area clean.

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.

INSPECTIONS

Upon successful inspection, the date for the pavement installation will be determined, which is usually 1-3 days after the base is ready, weather permitting.
There is not a requirement for anyone to be present during inspection in most villages, however the permit needs to be visibly posted on a front window or door, and approved plans must be accessible if needed.
If a base inspection is not mandatory in certain Villages, we will advise, paving can be done quickly.

The asphalt installation team will conclude the driveway by pouring the asphalt and restricting it from vehicles.
During the construction process, please contact your local police department for permission to park on the street.
