What Do Asphalt Contractors Do?

Asphalt contractors specialize in a wide array of services, including installing, repairing, and upkeeping asphalt surfaces. These professionals have expertise in handling asphalt, the resilient and adaptable paving material extensively used for driveways, parking lots, roads, and walkways.

A comprehensive asphalt specialist will oversee every facet of your paving process, from initial consultations and site preparations to the final application of sealcoating for added protection. Their responsibilities encompass tasks like grading, compacting the sub-base, laying the asphalt mixture, and ensuring a uniform and level surface.

Asphalt companies also deliver repair solutions to address issues like cracks, potholes, and surface wear, alongside conducting routine maintenance to enhance the longevity of your asphalt surfaces.

Preparing for an asphalt driveway installation involves several essential steps to ensure a successful outcome.

These steps include:

• Clearing the area of any obstacles, debris, or vegetation.

• Proper grading and compaction of the soil to ensure proper drainage and a level surface for the asphalt pavement.
• Prepare the edges of your driveway and address any drainage issues.
• Contacting local utility companies to mark the location of underground utilities.

How Long Does an Asphalt Driveway Last?

A well-maintained asphalt driveway will last 15 to 30 years or more.

The lifespan of an asphalt driveway can vary depending on the following factors:

• Climate
• Usage
• Maintenance
• Quality of initial installation

Proper maintenance, including regular sealing every few years, addressing cracks and potholes promptly, and ensuring good drainage, will significantly extend the lifespan of your asphalt surface. Factors like heavy vehicle traffic, extreme weather conditions, and the presence of trees or roots can impact the longevity of your driveway.
