Asphalt curing is a critical process that affects the durability and longevity of asphalt surfaces, including parking lots and asphalt driveways. Working with professional contractors to understand the asphalt curing process helps maintain pavement integrity and ensure a long-lasting surface. The curing process involves cooling, loss of volatile oils and gradual oxidation of the asphalt […]
Determining the proper thickness for asphalt driveways and parking lots helps ensure safety, reduce maintenance costs and extend pavement life. The ideal asphalt thickness depends on several factors, including traffic volume, soil conditions and climate. Two to three inches of asphalt is sufficient for most driveways, while three to four inches is required for commercial […]
Installing asphalt pavement requires thorough planning and preparation to achieve a durable, long-lasting surface, with weather conditions playing a crucial role in the project’s success. When it comes to asphalt paving preparation, timing matters in rainy weather, as moisture can prevent proper compaction, weaken the sub-base, and cause premature cracking, potholes, and a weaker final […]
Asphalt pavement is a widely used option for driveways, parking lots and roads because of its durability and low maintenance needs. When asphalt is freshly poured, it typically ranges from 275°F to 300°F, which keeps it workable for proper placement and compaction. Effective temperature control is crucial when working with hot-mix asphalt, which is produced […]
