<\/p>\nThere are so many options to repair or replace your damaged asphalt paving.\u00a0\u00a0 One of the most secure repairs is an asphalt overlay.\u00a0\u00a0 Asphalt overlay is a paving method of applying a new layer of asphalt on top of a deteriorating surface. Rather than tearing up an old asphalt surface entirely, an asphalt overlay project will use the existing layers as the base for the new asphalt surface. Some asphalt surfaces that have, over the years, experienced severe damage like rutting, potholes, large cracks, and expansions will need to be milled before an overlay is applied.\u00a0\u00a0 If the damage to your asphalt pavement has gone too deep into the subsurface and base of the asphalt, this method would not be suitable to repair your driveway.\u00a0\u00a0 There is always the chance that the damage is too severe and a new driveway would be a better, long lasting option.<\/p>\n

Our Asphalt Assessment:<\/strong><\/p>\n Firstly, @Bradley Asphalt, we would book a free appointment to examine the damage to your driveway and assess if overlaying your driveway would be your best solution.\u00a0\u00a0 Not all existing asphalt surfaces are suitable for overlays.\u00a0\u00a0 If your paving has structural damage such as potholes, root damage or rutting, we will have to replace the driveway and build a solid foundation.\u00a0 Asphalt surfaces that are not draining water correctly may also not be suitable for asphalt overlay because the surface may need to be regraded to handle water more effectively.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Asphalt Milling<\/strong><\/p>\n If we decide that this method of overlaying is suitable for you we will go ahead with the Asphalt milling, removing the top layer of your asphalt surface that has taken on cracks, raveling, or other damage. The old layer that has sustained damage must be removed to ensure an even, solid and smooth bond when the new asphalt is applied, and to maintain a level surface. An asphalt milling machine will grind down 1\u2033 to 3\u2033 depending on the wear of the asphalt surface. The ground surface material will be hauled to an asphalt recycling plant where it can be integrated into new asphalt mix designs.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Base Repair<\/strong><\/p>\n The most important part of an asphalt driveway is it\u2019s base.\u00a0 If this is correctly done from the beginning, you will have many years of trouble free use.\u00a0\u00a0 The base of an asphalt surface may need to be replaced in areas where potholes, rutting, and sinking have formed. To prevent similar issues appearing in the future, the base of the asphalt surface will be rebuilt using multiple lifts of aggregate and asphalt.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pave Surface<\/strong><\/p>\n Once the existing asphalt surface has been prepared,and we are satisfied that it is a good, solid, level base,\u00a0 the asphalt overlay can be paved on top of the surface. The amount of asphalt overlay applied to the surface will vary depending on the thickness of the existing surface, but typically will be within 1.5\u2033 to 2\u2033 thick.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Overlay driveways are very good options for maintaining your asphalt paving surface and are generally cheaper than a brand new asphalt installation.\u00a0\u00a0 We, @BradleyAsphalt have been assessing damage to driveways for many years and can say that we are experts in the field of asphalt paving.\u00a0\u00a0 We will always give you honest, reliable information to help you make the correct decision regarding your repairs to your asphalt surfaces.\u00a0\u00a0 Let\u2019s get these issues resolved for you while the weather is optimal in Colorado.\u00a0 Call us and we will make an appointment to come and chat with you about your paving needs:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Denver Metro\/Surrounding Areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n (303) 467-0631 Cell (303) 947-7484<\/p>\n Monument\/Colorado Springs:<\/strong><\/p>\n (719) 481-9411<\/p>\n Call Us For A Free Estimate<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are so many options to repair or replace your damaged asphalt paving.\u00a0\u00a0 One of the most secure repairs is an asphalt overlay.\u00a0\u00a0 Asphalt overlay is a paving method of applying a new layer of asphalt on top of a deteriorating surface.
