Are you concerned that filling cracks in your driveway is going to be an ongoing issue? Since some types of paving materials can be more difficult to maintain, it may make more sense to repave the surface with a more durable material.
What is "rebating?" The term is used to describe grinding the asphalt edge to eliminate height differences, reduce tripping hazards, and create a smooth transition between the paved surface and concrete sidewalks, curbs, or aprons.
Do you ever worry that the bumpy and uneven quality of your golf cart paths could be keeping your members from coming by as often as you’d like? Remember, having these paths repaved could provide a more enjoyable time for all your members.
Asphalt is a petroleum-based material that is commonly used to pave surfaces that handle vehicle and/or foot traffic. Our asphalt paving stands up well to changing weather conditions and extremes in summer heat and winter freezes.
One of the reasons why concrete makes an ideal parking lot surface is due to its rigidity. Concrete’s rigid characteristic help spread the load over the large area of the lot, minimizing the amount of the pressure on the subgrade.
When your course hosts a tournament, you can suggest to the organizers that they offer a prize for the player or team with the most “scuffies.” This refers to making a par on a hole while using a ball that found its way onto the paved cart path while playing that hole.
Are you concerned that people trying to walk to your building from the parking lot could injure themselves on the uneven terrain? Let’s talk about the condition of your lot and whether repaving it could help make it safer.
Drainage considerations are important when it comes to paving roads and other municipal surfaces. Water that’s allowed to remain on top of the asphalt road will weaken the surface, over time creating potholes, cracking, and rutting.
To improve a replacement paved surface, existing asphalt can be ground up and pulverized. The crushed asphalt is mixed with the existing underlying stone base, compacted and leveled to create a stronger foundation for new pavement.
When you're planning a road, it's important to get the right material, since it can save you a substantial amount in maintenance over the long run. For example, in a Florida study, annual maintenance for asphalt was $132 per lane mile, while concrete was $261 per lane mile.
After World War II when Europe was rebuilding, the roads were made using paving stones because they have the reputation of withstanding demands that materials like concrete and asphalt can't. Pavers were made from natural stone or clay, but soon colors of concrete pavers were made.
Full depth crack repair involves milling a trench centered over an existing crack. Hot mix asphalt is then placed into the reservoir in one or more lifts and then compacted to achieve ideal density for the road application.
If your asphalt parking lot is deteriorated but still retains its structural integrity, then an overlay may be possible. This involves adding a new layer of asphalt directly over the old layer, and is thus very cost effective.
Experts recommend that you have your asphalt driveway or other surface sealed every two to four years, which protects it from damage from cars, as well as the elements.
If you're thinking about having new roadways made with asphalt, then you're not alone. In fact, in the United States, over 90% of all of the roads and highways are paved with asphalt. Odds are pretty good that your existing roads are already asphalt.
While the most important paving prospect for a golf course is the golf cart path, it's not the only place that can benefit from paving. For example, your parking lot is the first thing customers see, and having a smooth, repaired lot gives them the right impression about your course.
Are you starting to worry that your parking lot is becoming a hazard to your customers and employees? By repaving, you’ll have a safer environment and be able to minimize your potential financial risks.
It’s important to remember that many raw pieces of land will have little more than a dirt road for you to use. If you don’t relish the idea of getting stuck in the mud whenever you visit your property, we’re always ready to add paved roads.
If you have an old asphalt driveway, you could get it repaired or replaced. A lot of that depends on the quality of the base material. When working with a paving expert, they'll be able to look at the quality of the existing base and recommend the best option.
When building and paving roads, the quality of the base counts. The base needs to be prepared with the proper thickness for the traffic it must bear and the gravel compacted to a density where the road will drain well before the pavement is installed.
The base that’s installed below the asphalt driveway is critical, as it provides the foundation for the overall structure. Typically, crushed process stone forms the base, as it compacts very well and allows for sufficient water drainage.
There are several reasons why asphalt pavement construction should be suspended in inclement weather such as rain. Not only will the rain cool the asphalt mix, making proper compaction more difficult, but the asphalt lifts may not be able to properly bond together.
Places like city halls and courthouses can require an incredible amount of parking for both employees and people visiting. Fortunately, you don't need a special parking lot paver. The same paving expert who does your roadways can help give you a perfect parking lot.
When it comes to asphalt driveways, inevitably some minor cracking will occur due to freeze and thaw cycles. Part of properly maintaining your driveway involves having those cracks filled and the entire surface sealed as it continues to age.
