  Asphalt, like everything else, has a service life; after that, it will start to deteriorate, which means you see it falling out and cracking. When this starts to happen, it is time that the old parking lot or driveway is torn out and replaced with a new one. The job requires excavating the area after we’ve determined if the area will require new gravel or if the existing one will work. We then work on grading and compacting the gravel to level the area. The next step is to install asphalt to a height of 2”. After that, we taper the edges and smooth all the transitions to ensure improved strength to your parking lot or driveway (whichever may be the location in question).

  Our team will also start by grading and compacting a new gravel base for your driveway or parking lot. The depth we settle on will be specific to the project’s needs. This approach ensures that the area is leveled before installing new asphalt. Once the gravel base has been installed, we will layer the asphalt to the correct level of around 2” of thickness. Finally, the edges are tapered for a smooth transition and enhanced strength. 

  Having an asphalt overlay in Ohio is an excellent, cost-effective alternative to giving your parking lot or driveway a brand new look. The process of overlaying mainly utilizes the existing layers as a base to remove deterioration and cracks in the current structure. However, not every asphalt surface is the right candidate for overlays. If the surface has been damaged beyond a certain point, we will need to evaluate if it can benefit from an overlay, and if not, our team will recommend the best solution to your problem. 

  Usually, when asphalt cracks, things can worsen when water, ice, and rain are involved. The water can seep into the cracks, which lead to the formation of potholes over time. We repair all types and sizes of potholes in your parking lot or driveway, which, quite frankly, is much more cost-effective than getting the damage these potholes do to your vehicle fixed. We will use seal coats and other products to ensure that those cracks and potholes don’t lead to bigger issues later on. 

  When it comes to asphalt structures, water is the villain. If your property has drainage issues damaging your driveway or any other asphalt structure, call us.
