4. HOW DO YOU HANDLE DRAINAGE AND WATER RUNOFF ON PAVED SURFACES?

An asphalt driveway should have a bit of a slope to encourage water runoff in residential and commercial applications. If you have any standing water in your driveway, you may need to speak with a professional to determine if your asphalt has an issue. You will want to restore proper drainage as quickly as possible.


5. CAN YOU PROVIDE SOLUTIONS FOR SLOPED OR UNEVEN SURFACES?

There are many reasons why an asphalt driveway or parking lot might be sloped or uneven. Poor drainage, erosion, inadequate soil compaction, poor construction or design, tree roots, or natural settling over time are all possible reasons. Severe weather conditions, such as heavy rain or flooding, can also cause the driveway to become sloped or uneven. It's crucial to address the underlying causes, such as poor drainage or erosion, to prevent further damage to the driveway and ensure a safe and functional driveway or parking lot.

6. HOW DO YOU ENSURE PROPER COMPACTION DURING THE PAVING PROCESS?

First, we determine the issues that exist with the asphalt, and then we prepare and grade the location. The method of placement and application speed are important in the process to ensure proper compaction. Fresh asphalt must be placed, tamped, and compacted while still warm for the best results.


7. HOW LONG WILL THE PAVEMENT LAST BEFORE IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED?

Professionally installed asphalt can last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance. After the lifespan of the asphalt, it is essential to have a professional replace it for the best results!

Maintaining your pavement is essential to keep it in good condition and increase its lifespan. It's important to keep it clean by sweeping regularly and removing debris, leaves, and dirt from its surface.
