Asphalt Driveway Overstone
If you are facing an unequal area, dirt, mud and a total mess with your gravel driveway, you may need to figure out how to make it solid.
Picking Asphalt Overstone is a wise move 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, to produce a reliable platform, a sub-base will be laid down that is solid enough to maintain the asphalt placed upon it.
Last we install 3″ asphalt and compact it.
When should I do it?
Overstone can be used when the client already has a gravel base installed.
Still, our personnel must examine the heights and heighten up to two inches of gravel.
It is conceivable that a minor amount of digging may be needed for cleaning.

Driveway Overlay/Resurface
Resurfacing is an economical approach to giving your driveway a fresh facade without investing in extended life. 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 prime candidate for a resurface is:
- A slightly cracked surface.
- The driveway is settled at leastat minimum 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 fair [shape|condition}.
- The driveway is long and can have sections corrected independently; there is usually no cost-saving for smaller driveways since the minimum fee is still applicable.

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
When the base is ready, we will arrange any requisite base inspections.
After passing the inspection, the project pavement installation date will be set, which is usually 1-3 days after the base has been readied, depending on the weather.
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 crew will finish the driveway by pouring the asphalt and cutting it off to vehicles.
When constructing, please contact your local police department for permission to park on the street.
