We will remove all the loose raveling and surface cracks in the old top layer.\u00a0\u00a0 Our milling machine will grind down 1 to 3\u201d depending on the wear of the surface.\u00a0\u00a0 We then clean the whole surface and reapply an even bond and new asphalt which will stick onto the existing foundation.\u00a0 We further haul the old asphalt away to be recycled.<\/li>\n<li>BASE REPAIR &#8211; If there are areas where the damage is severe we may need to replace these sinking, potholes and rutting spots by rebuilding with multiple levels of aggregate and asphalt.<\/li>\n<li>Once we are happy with the foundation and sub base, we will overlay the surface. Usually the amount of asphalt overlay applied to the surface will vary depending on the existing surface, but is around 1.5 to 2\u201d thick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bradley Asphalt prides itself on taking care of their existing and new clients asphalt repair needs and will come out and give you a free, cost effective estimate for one of your greatest assets to your property.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Call us and we will give you a free estimate:<\/p>\n<p><strong>(303) 467-0631 &#8211; Cell (303) 947-7484<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10\/18\/22 If you have a slightly damaged asphalt surface and are not ready to tear up the whole driveway, overlays may be a great option.\u00a0\u00a0 An overlay is a repair method where we will use your existing layers as a base for the new overlay.\u00a0\u00a0 This process can only be successful if there isn&#8217;t extreme &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/2022\/10\/21\/asphalt-overlays-great-repair-options\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;ASPHALT OVERLAYS GREAT REPAIR OPTIONS&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":774,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=773"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":855,"href":"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773\/revisions\/855"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=773"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bradleyasphalt.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
