Our Process
We begin with our preparation crew on-site to do the asphalt or concrete prep work. This may involve simply grading your existing gravel base, removing the old asphalt/concrete, or even excavation of grass and dirt for the installation of gravel. The grade will be determined with a level and/or transit to ensure proper drainage. Once the gravel is leveled off, it is rolled for maximum compaction. We usually wait about a week before we do the paving, so that any settling of the base can be touched and the aggregate base is at its highest strength to allow us to achieve maximum compaction of your new asphalt mat. You are welcome to drive on the gravel between the time of the prep work and the paving. Our paving crew will perform a final grading your driveway if necessary, and then pave with 2″ finish thick compacted hot mix asphalt mat. The asphalt is rolled with a 4-ton vibratory roller for complete compaction and then “finish-rolled” with a smaller 1-ton roller for a final compaction of the asphalt. Before the crew’s departure, they will put caution tape across the end of the drive to prevent accidental driving on your new asphalt.
