Asphalt Driveway Overstone
If your gravel driveway is in a state of disarray, with dirt, mud and irregularities, you should consider ways to make it solid and robust.
Choosing Asphalt Overstone is a prudent decision because it typically does not necessitate excavation, hence decreasing cost.
First we check the level to have the correct grade so that standing water does not accumulate on the ground.
Next, to construct a solid foundation, a layer of sub-base will be laid to provide a steady surface for the blacktop to adhere to.
Last we install 3″ asphalt and compact it.
When should I do it?
Overstone is placed when the client already has a gravel base installed.
In any case, our staff must analyze the measures and boost to a sum of two inches of gravel.
A small scale excavation might be necessary 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 best candidate for a overlay is:
- A minimally cracked surface.
- The driveway is settled at leastat minimum 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 satisfactory to average [shape|condition}.
- The driveway is long and can have segments corrected independently; financial benefit is not usually seen in small driveways as the minimum charge is still applicable.
Other Asphalt Paving Services in Waukegan
Sturdier Pavement and a thicker stone for increased loads. (i.e.: boat parking, camper parking, or bigger vehicle). For this we suggest 3″ or 4″ of blacktop in two lifts with a gravel base of 8″ or even 12″.
We specialize in full or partial basketball, tennis, and pickleball court installations and can create custom striping designs in-house.
Sections that require alteration or cancellation will have their existing pavement and gravel removed, and the remaining area will be filled with dirt, topsoil, and seeds.
Asphalt installation and repair can be more straightforward and faster than setting up concrete or brick, as there are fewer actions to finish the project.
ASPHALT PAVING PROCESS
STEP 1.
DEMO & BASE PREPARATION
The team’s arrival will necessitate the taking away of the existing pavement of the driveway, the putting in of the fresh stone base, the leveling, and the packing down for the local village or city’s appraisal.
After the base is formed, parking in the driveway should be available in most cases.
STEP 2.
INSPECTIONS
Once the base has been prepared, we will arrange any desired base inspections.
After the inspection has been approved, we will arrange for the installation of the pavement to take place within 1-3 days after the base has been prepared, depending on the weather conditions.
Generally, there is no requirement for anyone to be present at the time of inspection in most villages, but the permit must be visible on the front window or door, and plans that have been authorized must be accessible when necessary.
In certain Villages, a base inspection is not necessary, and we will provide notice, paving can be done sooner if possible.
STEP 3.
PAVEMENT INSTALLATION
The asphalt installation crew will finish the driveway by pouring the asphalt and keeping it off from traffic.
When constructing, reach out to your local police department for authorization to park on the street.
