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.
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.
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.
