Asphalt Driveways
People are greeted with the sight of your driveway when they come to your property, leaving an impression.

This renders appropriate sustenance against crumbling edges and furnishing your driveway a delightful completed look of orderly lines and curving curves.
Asphalt driveways are engineered with the strength to endure winter freezing and the thawing of spring. Rather than concrete, asphalt paving projects require fewer steps to complete the installation and repairs, making it a quicker process.

First, to keep the water from standing on the surface, it is important to check the levels to have the appropriate grade.
Next, a stable plane will be generated by laying a sub-base, which is able to support the asphalt layer that will be placed on top.

Driveway Overlay/Resurface
Resurfacing is an economical approach to giving your driveway a fresh facade without investing in extended life. With a dependable existing driveway surface, a resurfacing job should last 7-10 years, though spot patching may be needed in some regions.
Driveways can be resurfaced or “overlayed” with asphalt. The prime 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 current pavement to garage floor, city sidewalk, and entrance, and is in good to average [shape|condition}.
- The driveway is long and can have segments corrected independently; it is unlikely that smaller driveways will see any cost advantages due to the minimum payment that has to be made.

If a base inspection is not necessary for particular Villages, we shall advise, and paving can be done as soon as possible.
