Our Asphalt Paving Process
Quality paving starts long before the asphalt is poured. A long-lasting driveway or parking lot depends on proper preparation and materials.
Here’s how we do it:
Site Preparation & Excavation
We remove old asphalt (if replacing) and properly grade the area. Proper grading ensures water drains away from your home or building, preventing future damage.
Strong Stone Base Installation
We install and compact a high-quality aggregate stone base. This foundation is critical. If the base fails, the asphalt fails. We take the time to compact it properly to prevent sinking or cracking later.
Asphalt Installation
We use professional-grade hot mix asphalt designed to withstand New England’s freeze/thaw cycles. The asphalt is spread evenly and compacted with heavy rollers to create a smooth, durable surface.
Final Compaction & Inspection
After rolling and smoothing, we inspect the entire surface to ensure proper pitch, drainage, and finish quality.
Done correctly, this process creates a driveway that lasts for many years with proper maintenance.
What Materials Do We Use?
We use commercial-grade hot mix asphalt, the same material used on roads and highways. It’s built for durability and heavy traffic.
For residential driveways, we install the proper thickness based on usage. For parking lots, we adjust thickness and base preparation depending on expected traffic load.
Using quality materials and proper compaction is what separates long lasting pavement from driveways that crack within a year.
How Long Will Asphalt Last?
With proper installation and maintenance, asphalt driveways in Connecticut typically last 20+ years.
Longevity depends on:
• Proper base installation
• Quality asphalt mix
• Drainage
• Regular maintenance
That’s why we focus heavily on preparation, it’s what determines long term performance.
What Maintenance Do We Recommend?
To protect your investment, we recommend:
- Sealcoating every 2–3 years
- Prompt crack filling to prevent water intrusion
- Avoiding heavy vehicles parked in the same spot long-term
- Keeping edges clear of overgrowth
Routine maintenance dramatically extends pavement life and prevents costly repairs.
We also offer sealcoating and crack filling services throughout Wallingford, North Haven, Meriden, Cheshire, Hamden and more to keep your driveway looking and performing its best.
