Asphalt goes by a few lesser known names, one of which is “macadam.” It refers back to the 1800’s when a Scotsman named John McAdam created a hard road surface by mixing the perfect amount of sand and stone with tar.

Did you know that each year roughly 100 million tons of asphalt pavement material is reclaimed? Of this 100 million tons, nearly 95-percent of it is reused in highways and roadways. This not only reduces the cost of roads, but helps with taking care of our environment. Read more at:

Asphalt v/s blacktop – which is which? Highways and streets are paved with asphalt, while smaller areas such as driveways and residential roadways use blacktop. They are both composed of the same ingredients. However, blacktop has a higher mixture of crushed stone, giving it that “sparkly” appearance, which is also the reason it needs to be heated to a higher temperature than asphalt – around 300 degrees.
You have to spend money to save money. Asphalt maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your asphalt surface. It is a universal truth that small problems left unattended can evolve into larger, more expensive problems quickly. Don’t wait until potholes and cracks have formed.

With optimal efficiency, our Galt team of Kalin Leasure, Jesse Hagan, Tyler Jorgenson, Jorge Sanchez and Abraham Rodriguez employ our streamlined process for asphalt installation. With the trucks bringing the asphalt to the site, our team is able to quickly place it into the paver followed by laying down the mat. It is then quickly rolled to ensure that no small bumps of aggregate or stone are left poking through the smooth new surface. #smoothasbutter #galtdev #efficiency #asphalt
Celebrating all that this new year promises to bring! Happy 2021 to everyone from our Galt Development team!

Colt Green and Marco Vazquez are putting down tack spray as the finishing touch ensuring that there is adequate bonding between all layers of the completed pavement structure. With all of the vehicle traffic the Las Vegas Convention Center sees, our Galt teams know how imperative it is that there is no possibility of delamination (debonding) which causes cracking, potholes, rutting and overall reduced life of the pavement.

How important is “curb appeal” to commercial real estate?
1. First impressions mean everything – ensure your clients see you and your property in a positive light
2. Gain your clients’ trust – a poorly kept property reflects a lack of responsibility
3. A nicely maintained property is welcoming– clients feel relaxed in a well kept space
Keep your property free from cracked, crumbling or chipping curbs and sidewalks. Assess your parking lot for potholes, cracks, gas and oil stains and other unsightly issues.
Call Galt for all concrete and asphalt maintenance: (702) 331-3831
Do you ever wonder what causes concrete to begin chipping away, a state of disrepair known as “spalling?” It isn’t what is happening on the surface that causes spalling. It’s the rust and corrosion of the steel reinforcements embedded in the concrete that is the culprit. If you have an issue with spalling concrete, contact Galt for a free bid: galtdev.com/need-a-bid

Damage to your asphalt surface is not always caused by exposure to the elements or weather. Oftentimes, it can be the beautiful trees that increase the curb appeal of your property and provide much desired shade during the hot summer months.

Did you know asphalt can be recycled and reused multiple times, giving it a very long life span. Waste products such as oil, asphalt shingles and concrete are repurposed into asphalt pavement. Out of 100 million tons used each year to rebuild roads, 95% is derived from recycled asphalt.
