Overlay Driveways

Overlaying a driveway can be very appealing due to cost, it can be anywhere from 30 to 50 percent cheaper than complete replacement.

Overlay Driveway Procedure

● Remove and replace asphalt at the garage or existing concrete parking area prior to paving, if needed, for elevation changes so there are no a lips (bumps) at those areas.

● Clean driveway by air power brooming and a wire broom where needed.

● Tack coat (glue) the existing driveway to bond the new asphalt to the existing pavement.

● Overlay that area with new hot asphalt mix between 2 to 2 ¼ inches, to be rolled and compacted.

● New asphalt overlay to a match any existing elevations of asphalt or concrete areas as agreed/applicable.

Please Note: There might be some exceptions to the Overlay Driveway Procedure as listed below.

If you have any failed asphalt (potholes, crack alligated areas, low areas, etc.) they should be repaired prior to paving to stop/minimize any re-flecking cracking and drainage issues.

If there is weeds and grass growing in any cracks in the driveway to be overlaid, they should be sterilized with a product like roundup at least 1 week prior before the overlay is done.

You might want the overlay to be thinner or thicker depending on your needs.
