Why Choose Asphalt?

Asphalt paving offers several advantages over other paving options. Here are some benefits of choosing asphalt pavings from Tates Creek Paving.

• 100% Recyclable: Asphalt is the most recycled product in America. Asphalt used in driveway paving, parking lots, and even shingles can be recycled into a new asphalt mix and reapplied. The recycled compounds have the benefit of being even stronger than new mixes.
• Durability: An asphalt surface installed by an experienced company like Tates Creek Paving will usually last 15-20 years. If you perform regular preventative maintenance and use our seal coating services, that lifespan increases.
• Noise Reduction: The materials used in asphalt paving mixtures are naturally better at absorbing sound than concrete or other paving options. Depending on the mix's components, you can see up to a 90% reduction in noise.
• Cost-Effective: Asphalt paving is much more cost-effective than concrete. The recycling of asphalt mixtures also helps to reduce its overall price.
• Timely Completion: The ingredients needed to create asphalt paving are easy to acquire and can be quickly mixed. This allows your parking lot or driveway paving to be completed in less time.

How Asphalt Is Installed

There are several steps to installing a new asphalt surface on your residential or commercial property. Here is an overview of the process.

• Step 1: Demolition - The first step of every project is removing and disposing of the existing surface. This may involve pulling out concrete, digging dirt or grass, clearing gravel, or grinding existing asphalt. If the current surface is asphalt, we can recycle the materials into a new mixture which can be cost saving.
• Step 2: Leveling - The area needs to be graded and shaped before asphalt paving can be laid down. This is done to create a good surface for the paving.
• Step 3: Base Layer - Once the area is level, a sub-base level is added to support the pavement. 
• Step 4: Binder Layer - A mix of aggregate and oils is spread on top of the base layer. This is done to create a strong binding layer for the asphalt paving.
• Step 5: Proof Roll - The binder layer is rolled to test if the surface is strong enough. If any soft areas are discovered, they are repaired during this step to prevent issues with the surface later.
• Step 6: Asphalt Paving - A layer of asphalt mixture is applied to the entire surface. 
• Step 7: Final Roll - The entire surface is rolled over. This compacts the materials to create a durable, smooth surface. 
• Step 8: Sealing - We recommend adding a seal coating to the top of the asphalt 1 year after the asphalt installation to add durability.
