Custom Paving
What is the chip seal process?
Chip sealing is a road maintenance technique used to prolong the lifespan of existing pavement surfaces. This method involves applying a layer of asphalt emulsion followed by aggregate chips, which are then compacted to create a durable, skid-resistant surface.How long do I have to wait after asphalt paving to drive on it?
The waiting period for driving on newly paved asphalt varies depending on the specific project and weather conditions. Generally, it's advisable to wait no more than 24 hours. For precise information regarding your particular paving project, we recommend reaching out to us directly.Can asphalt be poured when it's raining?
The feasibility of pouring asphalt in rainy conditions depends on various factors, including the contractor's expertise, equipment, and materials used. While we can often work in light rain or on damp surfaces, heavy rain or saturated ground may affect the project timeline. We always prioritize meeting deadlines while ensuring the final result meets our high standards.Can it get too cold to perform asphalt paving?
Temperature can indeed impact asphalt paving in certain regions. The thickness of the asphalt layer is a key factor, as thinner layers cool more rapidly and require quicker compaction. Thicker asphalt layers can be poured in cooler temperatures compared to thinner ones. The specific temperature limits depend on the project requirements and local climate conditions.Why should I consider asphalt paving instead of concrete paving for my driveway?
Asphalt offers several advantages over concrete for driveways. It's more cost-effective, easier to repair, and has a shorter curing time. Asphalt also performs better under heavy loads and temperature fluctuations. While concrete may have a longer lifespan, it's more difficult and expensive to repair when damaged. For personalized advice on your driveway project, we encourage you to contact us directly.How long will asphalt last?
The lifespan of asphalt varies depending on its application and maintenance. Typically, an asphalt parking lot can last between 10 to 20 years, while an asphalt driveway may last 20 to 40 years. Factors influencing longevity include traffic volume, base quality, climate conditions, and regular maintenance. For specific information about your asphalt paving needs, please reach out to us.Can asphalt driveways or parking lots be affordably repaired?
Asphalt repair is generally more cost-effective compared to concrete repair. These repairs can often be completed quickly with minimal disruption to your property. If you require asphalt paving or repaving services, we invite you to contact us for a consultation.How should I prepare for chip sealing?
Preparation for chip sealing involves thorough cleaning of the existing road surface to remove any dirt, debris, or vegetation. Additionally, any significant cracks or potholes are repaired prior to the chip sealing process. Our team will handle these preparatory steps to ensure optimal results.
