New Driveway Installation & Driveway Extensions
We can install a brand new asphalt driveway specific to your needs. Our crew can dig out your grassy lawn to install a new driveway or extend an existing one. This is done by removing the grassy area to be paved, installing a stone sub-base, and laying down the asphalt layer(s).
Our company always recommends our driveways to have a 6.0-12.0 inch compacted layer of stone sub-base, 2.5 inch compacted layer of Binder Mix, and 1.5 inch compacted layer of Top Mix to ensure a structurally sound driveway.
If you have an existing gravel driveway and would like it to be paved with asphalt, we can do that as well! This option does not always require excavation and most likely will require a simple regrading of the stone and potentially more stone sub-base added and then compacted. On top, two layers of asphalt will be laid following the same method as described above.
Replacement
We can replace your existing asphalt driveway by removing and replacing the existing asphalt layer and stone sub-base below to create a brand new, structurally sound driveway that will last you years. A full driveway replacement is recommended if your existing driveway is sinking, pooling, crumbling, cracking severely, etc.
The stone sub-base and asphalt layers are laid following the same method as described above in "New Driveway Installation". An important aspect of a properly installed driveway is to ensure water is running off which means the asphalt grade is correct. Our crew ensures this after each driveway replacement, new installation, and resurface by pouring water at the top of the driveway after completion.
Resurfacing
This option is recommended for driveways that are not yet at the point of a full replacement. Driveways that have severe cracking or crumbling of asphalt where the sub-base has not yet been affected could use just a resurface. A resurface is essentially a brand-new layer of asphalt applied over the existing driveway. Keyways are milled out prior to the asphalt being laid to ensure a smooth transition, a coat of liquid emulsion is applied to the existing asphalt, and a 1.5 inch compacted layer of Top Mix is then laid. Anything existing is not dug out with this option.
