Professional, Durable Commercial Paving: Installation, Maintenance & Repair

New Construction 

New construction consists of excavating an area, then adding, grading, and compacting a stone base. After the stone base is ready, the asphalt mix is installed at the proper thickness designed for your needs. The thickness of stone and asphalt is calculated based on traffic flow, vehicle weight, and soil conditions. As our contract states, we always pave to the compacted thickness to ensure your parking lot lasts.

Remove & Replace 

Deterioration of asphalt can happen from a single problem or combination of problems. Poor stone base, poor sub-base (the soils below the stone base), inadequate asphalt thickness, poor maintenance, heavy traffic, and Mother Nature can all play a significant role in the failure of your parking lot surface. Once your asphalt has oxidized and deteriorated to a point where an overlay is no longer an option, we will remove and repave your lot by industry standards. Remember, your parking lot surface is only as firm as the base beneath it. When we remove an existing parking lot, we perform a proof roll to check the floor; this involves driving a loaded dump truck on the stone to look for any movement or deflection that would indicate a base problem. We then undercut as necessary before paving to ensure a longer-lasting pavement surface.

Milling & Resurfacing 

Often an asphalt surface is deteriorated but still maintains the structural integrity needed to perform an overlay. This process involves adding a new layer of asphalt, which is applied directly over the old coating. A mill can be used in two different methods to help resurfacing. The first method is to mill off a uniform thickness of existing asphalt from the parking lot to make room for the new pavement. The second method involves only milling the existing asphalt at transitions and critical drainage points. No matter which milling method is used, it is followed by cleaning the entire asphalt surface, then applying a tack coat (glue) to help adhesion the new and old pavements. The new asphalt layer is then installed and compacted.

Pulverizing

When asphalt has deteriorated to the point where it no longer qualifies for an overlay, we often have two options. The first, as stated above, is removal and replacement. The second option is pulverizing and repaving. There are some limitations to this technique, however. Suppose you have a solid base, and your match points (buildings, walkways, curbing, concrete pads, roadways, etc.) increase your lot's elevation. In that case, pulverizing can be an economical and green alternative. A large, full-depth reclamation machine grinds up your asphalt and a percentage of your base. The area is then watered, graded, rolled, and repaved to a predetermined thickness to meet your traffic needs. This method uses your existing pavement to increase the thickness of your base, thus giving longer life to your new pavement. The economic value of pulverizing comes from eliminating excavation and trucking costs. We no longer need to haul the existing pavement from the site. This, in turn, will reflect savings to you, our valued customer.

Permeable pavements allow water to pass through the surface and temporarily settle in a stone reservoir before infiltrating into the ground. Although not appropriate for high-traffic volumes or high-speed roads, this "green" technology is especially useful for parking lots, pull-offs, sidewalks, center islands and walking or biking trails where heavy loads are not expected. 

Permeable paving reduces the need for stormwater conveyances and treatment structures, resulting in cost savings elsewhere. Permeable paving also reduces the amount of land needed for stormwater management and may satisfy requirements for greenspace, allowing more development on a site.
