Asphalt
Asphalt longevity needs correct material specifications, sufficient compaction, and proper water management
To insure full compaction of the base materials and asphalt we have DOT approved compaction equipment
Commercial
Material Specs:
Stone sub-base & asphalt compacted with min 3-5 ton vibratory roller where space allows.
Compaction is everything.
We use 4-6 ton vibratory roller.
Residential
Removing the existing asphalt will disturb and eradicate the compaction of the stone sub-base from the years and years of it being in place. If conditions allow, placement of a additional layer of new asphalt over the existing will be much stronger AND LESS COSTLY.
If the stone sub-base has settled over time to the point where the asphalt has visible alligator cracks and has failed, then the asphalt needs to be removed, the stone graded, recompacted then finally the asphalt layed.
If the surface is suitable for an overlay, a tack coat may be advisable to bond and adhere the existing and new layer of asphalt.
Leveling course prior to overlay to insure a consistent and uniform placement of materials.

Sealcoating
Asphalt Base
Apshalt base will restore the oil/tar content that oxidizes from the asphalt material. And make it pliable and less prone to cracks caused by climate change.
It will also allow the asphalt to be reheated like the plants do and allow the material to be manipulated to remove low areas and eliminate cracks, tire or plow damage.
Latex Emulsion
When applied, will be a thin membrane over surface to prevent oxidation.
Because it will cover asphalt rather than penetrate it, latex base sealers' color will appear to stay dark longer.
And is preferred when a commercial lot is sealed for the longer term contrast with parking stripes etc.
Infrared
Corrects the incorrect. Turns the flawed to flawless
Slowly, evenly heats asphalt and allows our experienced crew to manipulate as if it was new asphalt.
It allows us to correct damaged and cracked asphalt.
