Thorough Site Evaluation and Planning

Every asphalt paving project begins with a comprehensive assessment. We analyze the existing soil conditions and plan for effective water drainage. This critical planning phase prevents common issues like water damage, sub-base failure, and alligator cracking.

Precision Asphalt Paving Installation

We utilize high-quality, hot-mix asphalt from trusted suppliers, ensuring the mix design is perfectly suited for the project’s specific needs. Our modern paving equipment, operated by experienced crews, lays the asphalt at a consistent, specified thickness.

Superior Compaction

The final step in the asphalt paving process is arguably the most important for density and longevity. We use a sequence of rollers to compact the new asphalt to the optimal density, which is essential for preventing water intrusion and ensuring the surface can withstand the stresses of traffic and weather over its entire lifespan.

Expert Sub-base Preparation

The most critical component of long-lasting asphalt paving is its foundation. We excavate to the required depth and install a properly graded aggregate sub-base. This layer is then expertly compacted using heavy-duty rollers to create an exceptionally stable and durable platform that will support the asphalt surface for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

We believe in clear communication from the start. To help you plan your project, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our asphalt paving, excavation, and grading services.

1. How long will a new asphalt pavement last?

The lifespan of an asphalt surface is directly related to the quality of its installation, the stability of its sub-base, the volume of traffic it endures, and the consistency of its maintenance. A professionally installed pavement like those from Denny McCowan General Engineering Inc., built upon a properly engineered and compacted foundation, can be expected to last 15 to 25 years, or even longer. Implementing a regular maintenance plan, including professional sealcoating every 2-4 years, is the most effective way to maximize its service life.

2. What is the best time of year for asphalt paving?

The ideal time for asphalt paving is during the warmer months, typically from late spring through early fall. Asphalt requires warm temperatures to remain workable during installation and to compact properly. While we can perform repairs year-round, major paving projects yield the smoothest, most durable results when the weather is dry and temperatures are consistently above 50°F.

3. How soon can I use my new asphalt surface?

We generally recommend keeping vehicles off the new surface for at least 24 hours after the asphalt paving is completed. This allows the material to cool and cure sufficiently. In extremely hot weather, we may advise waiting a bit longer to prevent power steering marks or scuffing. You can usually walk on the surface once it has cooled, which typically happens within a few hours.
