Why Choose Asphalt Paving from ProSeal
Our journey as a paving company began with pavement maintenance in the early 2000s, and since then, we’ve become the area’s most trusted contractor for installing paved surfaces that benefit local businesses and residents.
Our Asphalt Paving Process
Being experts in maintenance means we know what factors make a paved area crack and break down. Our proven installation process is designed to limit these factors and produce a road or parking lot that can easily withstand weather and traffic. Here’s how.
1. Construction Site Preparation: The first step is always clearing vegetation and debris from the site, demolishing any existing pavement, and hauling away the debris for recycling. We then perform grading, a process that corrects the slope of the land for better water runoff.
- Preparing the site and creating drainage means that the pavement will be sturdy and not suffer from water damage later on.
2. Base Layer Installation: Next, we install a base layer, sometimes called a subbase or aggregate base, made of crushed concrete, gravel, and/or broken asphalt. We also grade this layer to keep everything dry.
- If the subbase isn’t stable, it can shift and crack the surface or cause potholes.
3. Asphalt Paving – The actual installation is done in several layers, each with a slightly different makeup. The middle layer needs to be very strong, so it’s made with large gravel pieces and thick bitumen, the gooey dark black stuff that gives blacktop its color.
- We tailor the thickness of your pavement based on the use it’ll be put to, with higher traffic areas getting thicker layers.
4. Surface Installation: The surface layer is obviously important since it’s the layer we drive and walk on. It’s made of a slightly thinner asphalt mix with finer aggregates like sand. We lay it hot and then compact and smooth the area with rolling machines once it’s cooled down a little.
- Most asphalt experts recommend adding a sealcoat even on freshly paved surfaces to protect them against weathering.
5. Final Touches: Our asphalt paving crew doesn’t leave you high and dry once the job’s done. Not only do we take care to keep everything neat and tidy while we work, but we also clean up after we’re done, ensuring that your landscaping or other parts of your property look as good as your new parking lot.
- We can turn your paved surface into a professional parking lot or sports court with line striping, which applies durable reflective paint to the surface, creating lines and traffic symbols.
