The Importance of a Strong Foundation
If you want your asphalt driveway to function and last for a long time, then it will need a durable and well-built foundation. Before any new asphalt is installed, we inspect the existing base layer carefully. If we find soft spots, poor drainage, unstable material, or other foundation-related issues, we address those conditions first, so the finished driveway has the support it needs.
What’s Involved in Asphalt Driveway Service?
Base Inspection
We'll carefully examine and inspect the existing base rock and subgrade. This may include identifying soft spots, poor drainage, or unsuitable materials, so issues can be corrected before laying any new asphalt.Re-Grading
Driveway re-grading involves reshaping and leveling the foundation to create a proper slope, improve drainage, and provide a smoother, more consistent surface. It makes driveways more stable and uniform.Paving
Paving is similar to painting in that it's often the fastest part of the project. Our crew utilizes high-quality paving equipment to ensure the asphalt is placed at the correct thickness and provides a smooth, uniform finish.Compaction
A well-compacted asphalt surface will last longer, perform better under traffic, and require less maintenance over its lifespan.How Thick Should My Driveway Asphalt Be?
If well-prepared and in good condition, the standard thickness for residential asphalt driveways is 3". This thickness is typically ideal for accommodating passenger vehicles and light residential foot traffic. Heavier commercial properties often need thicker asphalt because they are built for trucks and equipment. To determine how thick your asphalt should be, we recommend consulting a professional commercial and residential driveway contractor.
