Minor surface damage on your pavement may not seem like a big deal, but it can impact how people perceive your property or business. Whether you have small cracks or large potholes, Alpha Paving is equipped to manage your next asphalt overlay project.
Asphalt overlay is a paving technique that involves applying a new layer of asphalt over an existing surface.
Although some surface removal may be necessary in some cases, asphalt overlay is considered less disruptive than full-depth replacement.
Full-depth replacement involves removing and replacing the entirety of the asphalt, whereas the asphalt overlay process consists of applying new asphalt to the existing top layer.
Whereas:
Asphalt overlay is ideal for fixing surface wear, minor cracks, and fading. Milling may be required in instances where the overlay alters the surface elevation.
Milling maintains the correct elevation of features, such as curbs and utility holes, while removing enough asphalt to create a smooth new surface.
Plus, the materials removed are often recycled, making milling an environmentally friendly technique!
Full-depth asphalt replacement isn’t a simple process. It can take several weeks to a few months to complete since it involves completely removing the existing pavement and base layer.
Asphalt overlay is more affordable and can be completed in a matter of days.
Below are some key benefits of asphalt overlay compared to asphalt replacement.
Asphalt overlays are ideal if your pavement shows minor cracking, fading, and light surface damage. However, asphalt overlays are unsuitable for pavements with substantial issues, such as base failure or alligator cracking.
A reliable asphalt company will not recommend an asphalt overlay on pavement with foundational issues, as this can affect its longevity. Damage, such as severe cracks and potholes, will also appear in the overlay over time.
We repair cracks, potholes, and damaged pavement as needed, level low spots via milling or filling, and wash the pavement to eliminate dust and dirt.
Milling may be necessary if the asphalt overlay affects surface elevation. Using heavy-duty machines, contractors can mill to appropriate depths to maintain proper elevation. The materials removed are often recyclable as well.
