Overlay Driveways<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

Overlaying a driveway can be very appealing due to cost, it can be anywhere from 30<\/strong> to 50<\/strong> percent cheaper than complete replacement.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Overlay Driveway Procedure<\/h3>\r\n

\u25cf 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)<\/strong> at those areas.<\/p>\r\n

\u25cf Clean driveway by air power brooming and a wire broom where needed.<\/p>\r\n

\u25cf Tack coat (glue)<\/strong> the existing driveway to bond the new asphalt to the existing pavement.<\/p>\r\n

\u25cf Overlay that area with new hot asphalt mix between 2<\/strong> to 2 \u00bc<\/strong> inches, to be rolled and compacted.<\/p>\r\n

\u25cf New asphalt overlay to a match any existing elevations of asphalt or concrete areas as agreed\/applicable.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Please Note: There might be some exceptions to the Overlay Driveway Procedure as listed below.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

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

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<\/strong> week prior before the overlay is done.<\/p>\r\n

You might want the overlay to be thinner or thicker depending on your needs.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
