FOR QUALITY DRIVEWAY PAVING
How long will it take to remove my driveway?
In removing your old asphalt driveway, it will be necessary to run heavy equipment over the driveway. In doing this, the area under the base (called the sub-base) is often times clay and can get soft. During drier times of the year, some driveways will stay hard after removal, but each driveway is different. Typically, during the spring, it is necessary to let the driveway sit to firm back up. We will determine the best time to begin to reinstall your driveway, to allow us to offer the best possible guarantee. During the summer months, we usually let the driveway sit 7-10 days, but in spring or wet months, they may need 2-3 weeks. You can drive and park on the driveway while waiting for paving.
What are the different types of asphalt?
We use two different types of asphalt. The first and most common type is 41A, or driveway mix, as it is often called. This type of asphalt is fine for cars and light trucks. The other mix is 41B, which is a combination designed for heavier wheel load applications, such as a motor home or one-ton truck. This finish is not quite as smooth as the first type.
How long should I stay off my new driveway?
We recommend that you do not park on your new driveway for one week. Asphalt becomes soft with heat. In fact, it’s a good idea to park in the garage or on the street on very hot and sunny days to save yourself potential problems.
What is Hot Mix Asphalt?
Hot mix asphalt is an engineered mixture of aggregate, or stones and sand, with liquid asphalt cement, a petroleum product. Varying sizes of aggregates are heated, then mixed in exact proportions with asphalt cement that has been liquefied at about 300 degrees. While the mixture is still hot, it is delivered to your driveway and paved on top of a base or subgrade that has already been prepared.
How thick should the base be?
The thickness of the gravel base should be from two to eight inches thick. This thickness will vary depending upon the soil conditions. The saying, “An asphalt driveway is only as good as the base beneath it” is so true, it cannot be emphasized enough.
What about Soil Stabilization Fabrics?
Geo textile fabrics help provide cost-effective stabilization of permanent pavements, especially those constructed on weak, moisture-sensitive subsoil.
How is my new driveway installed?
The hot asphalt is now applied with a paving machine. This machine operates on very much the same principle of those used on freeways. It lays a mat of uniform consistency. The mat is then rolled while hot.
What should I expect regarding cracking?
In Minnesota, the frost penetrates the ground as deep as four to six feet. The ground will heave when frozen this deep. No matter how strong the asphalt pavement is constructed, Mother Nature is stronger.
Tire marks
Tire marks are usually caused by turning your wheels in one place without the car moving. Try to have the wheels rolling a little when turning around on hot days. Most of these small imperfections will disappear after the first year.
