Asphalt paving;is the process of applying either hot or cold asphalt mixtures to any given plot of land such as parking lots, driveways, and roads. It serves multiple functions that range from correcting imperfections in existing pavement, sealing cracks, repairing potholes, and even creating new property foundations. The simplest asphalt overlay jobs are meant to patch holes to prevent water, debris, and other elements from permeating the surface and eroding the asphalt from within.
Aside from the practical advantages, repaving your asphalt also adds a desirable aesthetic appeal to residential and commercial properties alike. As a result, it increases the curb appeal of your home or business and makes a positive impression on passersby. Asphalt overlay is a fundamental precursor to sealcoating. Even though, on its own, repaving your asphalt could extend its lifespan by about 5 to 10 years, it doesn’t suffice to protect your pavement from harsh environmental and situational treatment, such as inclement weather, oil leaks, gas leaks, and overexposure to UV rays from the sun.
