What Is Asphalt Paving?

Asphalt paving involves installing a new hot-mix asphalt surface over a properly graded and compacted base. In resurfacing (overlay), a new asphalt layer is applied over an existing, structurally sound surface.

When Is Paving Necessary?

Paving is required when structural integrity is compromised, including:

Alligator cracking (fatigue cracking caused by base failure)

Severe potholing

Drainage slope failure

Surface raveling beyond restoration

If more than 30–40% of the pavement shows structural cracking, patching and sealcoating are no longer sufficient.

Why Does Proper Installation Matter?

Long-term performance depends on:

Proper base compaction

Correct asphalt thickness

Adequate edge support

Proper drainage slope

Correct rolling and density

Improper paving can result in premature cracking within 1–3 years.

We ensure thorough structural preparation—not just surface installation.
