Why Asphalt Paving & Overlays Work

What is Asphalt Paving & Overlays?
Asphalt paving involves installing new hot-mix over a properly prepared base to create a long-lasting pavement structure. This is ideal for new construction or surfaces with significant base failure.
Asphalt overlays place a new layer of asphalt over existing pavement that is structurally sound. Overlays restore ride quality, improve appearance, and extend pavement life without the cost of fullĀ reconstruction.
Both methods provide strong, flexible surfaces when installed correctly with proper base preparation and compaction.

How long does asphalt paving last?
With proper installation, and routine maintenance, asphalt pavement can last 20 years or more.
How long does an asphalt overlay last?
Overlays typically extend pavement life by 8-15 years, depending on traffic and maintenance.
Is an overlay cheaper than full asphalt replacement?
Yes. Overlays are usually more cost-effective when the existing base is in good condition.
When is an overlay not recommended?
