Yes, it can. If you want to switch your driveway from concrete to asphalt we can pave right over the existing concrete. There are a few things to consider before making the switch such as the stability of the concrete and the layout of the expansion joints in the concrete.
The four main advantages of asphalt driveway paving are that its economical to install and maintain, its durable, safe and reliable and it is highly recyclable.
Permit requirements and regulations vary depending on the location and scope of the project. It’s essential to consult with local authorities and obtain the necessary permits before commencing any paving work. Additionally, adherence to industry standards such as ADA requirements for accessibility and environmental regulations for drainage and runoff management is critical to ensure compliance and avoid potential fines or legal issues.

The duration of a commercial paving project varies depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the project, weather conditions, and any necessary site preparation. Typically, smaller projects like parking lot resurfacing may take a few days to a week, while larger projects such as roadways or expansive parking lots may take several weeks to complete.
In many cases, it’s feasible to overlay new pavement over existing asphalt, provided that the existing pavement is structurally sound and free of major defects. However, for concrete paving or severely damaged asphalt, removal and replacement may be necessary to ensure a stable and long-lasting surface.
Regular maintenance is crucial for extending the lifespan of commercial paving. This includes routine inspections for cracks, potholes, and drainage issues, timely repairs, sealcoating every few years to protect against moisture and UV damage, and keeping the pavement clean from debris and chemicals.
Asphalt paving consists of a mixture of aggregates and bitumen, offering flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of repair. Concrete paving, on the other hand, is made of cement, aggregates, and water, providing durability, strength, and a longer lifespan. The choice between the two depends on factors such as budget, aesthetic preferences, and expected traffic loads.
The lifespan of commercial paving depends on various factors such as traffic volume, weather conditions, maintenance, and the quality of materials used. Generally, with proper installation and maintenance, asphalt paving can last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, while concrete paving can last even longer, up to 30 to 40 years.
The asphalt repair process typically involves cleaning the surface, filling cracks or potholes, leveling uneven areas, and applying a sealant or asphalt mixture as needed. We will ensure proper preparation and execution to achieve optimal results.
Sealcoating helps protect asphalt from damage caused by UV rays, water, and chemicals. It’s generally recommended to sealcoat asphalt surfaces every 2-3 years to maintain their integrity and appearance.
