Asphalt Starts
A strong foundation is key to a long-lasting asphalt surface. At Local Paving and Concrete, our Asphalt Starts service focuses on preparing your site with precision, ensuring your asphalt installation—whether a driveway, parking lot, or roadway—performs reliably for years to come.
What Are Asphalt Starts?
"Asphalt starts" refers to the initial preparation and base construction for a new asphalt pavement. This critical stage sets the tone for durability, smoothness, and longevity. Proper planning, grading, and base material installation are essential to prevent issues such as cracking, settling, and uneven surfaces.
Our Asphalt Starts Process
1. Site Assessment & Planning
We begin by assessing the property and understanding your project requirements. This includes evaluating the soil, slope, drainage, and any existing pavement that needs removal. Proper planning ensures the asphalt will withstand traffic, weather, and time.
2. Excavation & Grading
Next, we excavate the area to the required depth and grade the site to ensure proper drainage. Correct grading is crucial to prevent water pooling and damage to the asphalt over time.
3. Base Material Installation
A stable base is installed using crushed stone or gravel. This layer is compacted thoroughly to provide maximum support for the asphalt surface, creating a foundation that resists shifting and settling.
4. Surface Preparation for Asphalt
After the base is prepared and compacted, we ensure the surface is level, smooth, and ready for the asphalt application. Any necessary adjustments are made before paving begins.
