Helpful answers to common questions about planning, preparing for, and maintaining a paving project with Economy Paving.
Preparation can include removing failed material, grading, correcting elevations, preparing or rebuilding the base, and addressing drainage. Proper preparation is an important part of creating a durable finished surface.
Project length varies based on the size of the property, site conditions, preparation requirements, access, and weather. A smaller driveway may move quickly, while larger commercial or site-preparation projects can require additional time.
Fresh asphalt needs time to cool and set before regular vehicle traffic. The appropriate wait time can vary with weather, pavement thickness, and the project itself, so follow the instructions provided for your specific job before driving or parking on the new surface.
Drainage should be considered before the final pavement is installed. Depending on the property, grading and site preparation can be used to help direct water appropriately and reduce areas where water collects on the pavement.
Asphalt millings are recycled asphalt material produced when existing pavement is removed or milled. Depending on the project and site conditions, millings can be used for driveways, lanes, parking areas, and other surfaces where a recycled asphalt option makes sense.
Yes. Temperature, rain, ground conditions, and other weather factors can affect paving and preparation work. Scheduling may need to be adjusted when conditions are not suitable for producing the intended result.
Keep vehicles, trailers, portable equipment, and other movable items away from the work area and make sure the crew has clear access to the property. Any project-specific preparation can be discussed before work begins.
Keep the surface clean, pay attention to drainage, address cracks or damaged areas before they become larger problems, and use appropriate preventive maintenance when needed. Early attention to pavement issues can help prevent more extensive deterioration.
