“Can’t get better than Asa and her team. They did a great job at a great price. They also went over and above to resolve a water pooling issue, which was resolved immediately, and not just patched, but properly sorted. As a business owner myself, I find it frustrating when the building trade tends to make its mistakes the customer fault, definitely not the case with these guys. You can be assured a professional job with great support.”

How Does Asphalt Resurfacing Work?

Asphalt resurfacing involves the following:

  • Filling of potholes and low-lying areas with hot mix asphalt. Over time as the driveway / carpark ages potholes will form, areas will subside (rotting tree roots, collapsed soak well lids etc). Prior to resurfacing, we attend to these areas to ensure the new layer of asphalt is perfect.
  • Mechanically sweep and apply tack coat. Prior to resurfacing, we remove all loose materials by sweeping the area with a mechanical sweeper. A tack coat is a binder that ensures the bonding between the old and new asphalt layers.
  • Cutting edges to ensure a smooth transition. Asphalt is cut around drain lids and along edges, ensuring your new asphalt driveway construction is laid professionally and up to construction standards.
  • Ensuring water flows to existing drainage. Any areas collecting water are attended to and any additional drainage required is installed

In general, it is recommended that asphalt driveways and parking lots be resurfaced every 10-15 years. However, this timeline may need to be adjusted based on the specific conditions of your surface.

Here are some common signs that an asphalt driveway or parking lot may need to be resurfaced:

  1. Cracks: Small cracks in the asphalt surface can be repaired, but if they become larger and more extensive, it may be time for resurfacing.
  2. Potholes: Potholes are a sign of serious asphalt damage and can be a hazard to vehicles and pedestrians.
  3. Drainage issues: If water is pooling on the surface of the asphalt or if there are signs of erosion, it may be time for resurfacing.
  4. Uneven surface: If there are areas of the asphalt surface that are noticeably lower or higher than others, it may be a sign that the asphalt is failing and needs to be resurfaced.
  5. Age: Asphalt driveways and parking lots have a lifespan of around 20 years, so if your asphalt surface is approaching or exceeding this age, it may be time for resurfacing.
  6. Wear and tear: Heavy traffic, harsh weather conditions, and exposure to sunlight can all cause wear and tear on asphalt surfaces over time, which can be a sign that resurfacing is necessary.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have a professional asphalt contractor inspect the surface to determine whether resurfacing is the best course of action.
