Asphalt paving involves the application of asphalt, a mixture of aggregate and binder, to create durable surfaces such as roads, parking lots, and driveways. This benefits businesses by providing smooth, durable surfaces that enhance aesthetics, improve accessibility, and increase property value.
The frequency of maintenance depends on factors such as traffic volume, weather conditions, and the quality of the original installation. Generally, businesses should consider routine maintenance such as crack sealing, sealcoating, and periodic resurfacing every 3-5 years to extend the lifespan of their asphalt surfaces.
Signs of asphalt deterioration include cracks, potholes, uneven surfaces, fading, and drainage issues. These issues not only detract from the appearance of your property but can also pose safety hazards to customers and employees. It's essential to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage and costly repairs.
In many cases, it's possible to overlay existing asphalt with a new layer to restore the surface and improve its appearance and functionality. However, the condition of the existing asphalt and the extent of any damage will determine whether overlaying is a viable option. A professional assessment can help determine the best course of action for your business.
Several factors affect the cost of asphalt paving, including the size of the area to be paved, the condition of the existing surface, the type and thickness of asphalt required, accessibility, and any additional services such as grading or drainage improvements. Obtaining multiple quotes from reputable contractors can help businesses compare costs and make informed decisions.
