Commercial Asphalt and Paving Services
1. Potholes
Most potholes form due to expansion and contraction during freeze-thaw water cycles, and the amount of traffic on the pavement. They often appear in late winter and early spring because of changing temperatures. The constant freezing and thawing of melting snow, combined with Spring rain, weakens the pavement causing cracks that lead to potholes.
Hot mix asphalt is used to fill up the potholes. However, if this is not available, cold mix asphalt can be used to temporarily fill the pothole.
2. Asphalt overlay
An asphalt overlay is a layer of new asphalt applied over the existing base layer on your pavement. The layer is made 1.5 – 3 inches thick, depending on the demands on the asphalt and the depth of the surface.
An asphalt overlay should not be considered an adequate alternative to repaving; however, it is a significant way to extend the longevity of your pavement if the base is still strong.
3. Concrete
Asphalt concrete can be used to surface your pavement. Asphalt mixtures have been used in pavement construction for a long time. It consists of mineral aggregate bound together with asphalt, which is laid in layers, and compacted.
4. Paving
Asphalt paving is the laying of aggregate, gravel, and sand, bound together to create a pathway that can support traffic. It begins with the preparation of the subgrade. The subgrade is graded to allow the water to run off to the sides or bottom. The perfect grade is a quarter of an inch per foot.
Using a 1,361-kg twin drum roller, or a fully loaded truck, the base soil is compacted to reduce its volume of water and air. This helps to create a harder and denser surface that can support traffic loads.
5. Speed bumps
Asphalt speed bumps are the most common type of speed bumps seen on roads nowadays. These bumps are durable and can be easily resealed or repainted to make them noticeable.
Speed bumps are usually found in parking lots where they are utilized to limit the speed to below 15 mph. Paved speed bumps are permanent and cannot be easily damaged.
Commercial Asphalt Sealcoating
Sealcoating is an effective way to keep an appealing, secure, and usable asphalt parking lot and pavement surface. It is the application of thin coats of coal tar pitch or asphalt emulsion mixed with inert fillers, water, and emulsifying agents and additives.
Asphalt pavement that is faded and worn out can be renewed with the application of a seal coat, which produces an appealing, smooth, and dark black surface that is easy to clean. The condition of your parking lot directly reflects on the perception of your business. A properly maintained parking lot indicates attention to safety and attracts more clients to your business.
Commercial Asphalt Repairs
Asphalt repairs are an important part of the maintenance routine of your parking lot or pavement. It is important to fill up potholes and cracks, apply a seal coat to renew the look of your parking lot, and also make asphalt speedbumps to help control traffic.
The appearance of your pavement or parking lot is a key factor in your business. PAVCO provides asphalt paving services for parking lots, repairs, overlays, driveways, and major roads. They offer quality services which are exactly what you need for your parking lot. For more information, please contact us today.

What is an asphalt overlay?
An asphalt overlay is a new layer of asphalt, typically 1.5–3 inches thick, applied over an existing surface. While it is not a full replacement, it is an effective way to extend the life of your pavement if the base is still strong.
