About Us

There are several things you can do to extend the life of your parking lot, such as:

• Clearing drains
• Removing oil and gas leaks
• Filling in the cracks
• Sealing the cracks
• Seal coating

To know which is best for you, contact one of our team members.

The difference between seal coating and resurfacing is that seal coating is a preventative service, and resurfacing is for correcting damages. Seal coating creates a protective layer on your existing surface that lasts for 2-3 years. Resurfacing creates a whole new layer of asphalt on your surface, making it look brand new.

Unsure of which one is best for you? Get in touch with one of our paving specialists now!

It is recommended to seal coat a driveway every 2-3 years, though it varies depending on the weather and frequency of use. To make sure that you are sea locating your driveway frequently enough, call us now. One of our professional driveway specialists can carry out a proper assessment of your driveway and recommend a time for your next seal coat. 

It can take up to 7 days for concrete to be ready for use but can take 28 to be fully settled. For asphalt, we recommend waiting 3-4 days before using it, but it can take up to 12 months to be fully cured. Our experts use the latest techniques and supplies to ensure that your concrete and asphalt surfaces will be ready for use in no time.

Tire Tracking  

On a hot and sunny day, the asphalt can easily heat the asphalt up making it soft and pliable again, therefore, caution should be taken when making tight or sharp turns on it. If you wind up causing tire tracking there’s not a lot you can do to fix it. Unfortunately, only time and a little oxidization will make these disappear.

Power Steering Divots

Power steering divots are caused by turning your steering wheel while your vehicle is setting in place. This can cause damage to your new asphalt especially on a very hot summer day. If turning around in your driveway is absolutely necessary, try and keep the vehicle moving at all times while you’re turning, moving forward and backwards until you’re turned around.

Now, most of the time a power steering divot is not really a huge thing to worry about, but if you happen to cause a divot in the asphalt it can be fixed pretty easily. The best time to make a repair to a power steering divot is in the middle of a hot sunny day. Simply take a short 2 x 4, push some of loose asphalt into the low spot, push the raised asphalt in a downward motion into the low area and then using a hammer, pound the asphalt back into place. This will not repair the asphalt like new, but it will lessen the long term damage. Over time, the spot will mostly disappear but you may be able to see it just slightly. When you have your driveway sealed it will pretty much disappear.

Most potholes can be repaired, but when your driveway has several, it may be a sign of something structurally unsound below the surface. Our professional paving contractors will be able to assess your driveway and provide you with a better idea of your driveway’s needs.

 Oil Spots

Oil spots are not a major problem as long as they’re cleaned up soon after oil has leaked or spilled onto the asphalt. Oil can stain the asphalt and cause it to get somewhat gummy over time. Oil will attract dust and dirt, but it’s not something to be concerned about. It’s more unsightly than anything. Now, if it’s not cleaned up, over a very long period of time the asphalt may become soft in those areas. When you have your new asphalt driveway sealed, the seal coat contractor will be able to prime them and help to cover them up. But there is no permanent fix.

Fuel Spills

When it comes to fuel spills, regular unleaded gasoline will not damage the asphalt immediately. It would take some time to sit on there to actually cause any severe damage, so you’ll want to try and clean them up as quickly as possible. On the other hand, diesel fuel on asphalt is a completely different story. As a matter of fact, you’ll notice the company that installs asphalt, they may sometimes use diesel fuel to clean some of the moving parts on their paving equipment and hand tools. Diesel fuel is the best solvent for asphalt. So you definitely do not want to spill any diesel fuel on your asphalt driveway at all as it will destroy the asphalt very quickly. Diesel fuel will completely dissolve the binders in asphalt and eventually it will turn into a hole. You can literally take a screwdriver and just scrape it all out. That’s how damaging diesel fuel can be, so make sure you don’t spill any diesel fuel on your asphalt driveway.

Ice Melting Products

Ice melting products are very handy in the wintertime in the colder climates. Salt or any other commercial products that melt ice will not hurt asphalt, so they can be used liberally. They can stain the asphalt however, so be sure to spray them off of your driveway frequently.

Construction Equipment

If your driveway has been paved recently and you plan on doing any type of construction on your property that requires any heavy construction equipment or heavy concrete mixer trucks, they should avoid driving on your new asphalt. If it’s absolutely necessary, then the best time for them to drive on the asphalt is early in the morning hours when it’s at it’s coolest or in the evenings after the sun starts to go down. But even then, these heavy vehicles may still damage the new asphalt driveway.

Asphalt is considered more environmentally friendly than concrete as it can be recycled and allows better water drainage. If you want more information about greener and more innovative paving solutions, give us a call, and we will be happy to answer all of your questions.
