The thought of getting a fresh new asphalt driveway can be exciting. A smooth driveway can up your property’s appeal significantly. In fact, it may also significantly upgrade the property value. This is especially if you are upgrading from gravel or dirt to asphalt. It is only reasonable that expectations will be high.
However, what should you expect from your asphalt contractor?
After shopping around for the best asphalt contractor for your needs, they will likely want to come out and survey the area. Most places offer a free estimate. This surveying process allows the asphalt contractor to provide a realistic estimate. This is important because you don’t want to be surprised with additional costs.
After scheduling your driveway paving, the crew will come out and get to work. The process starts with leveling out the driveway. After this, gravel is laid down to provide a solid base for the pavement. Then, the asphalt is place down on top of the gravel. It is spread out by hand and flattened down using a roller. This gives your asphalt that smooth finish that everyone dreams of. From here, the process is nearly done. You simply need to wait for the asphalt to harden. Then, your new asphalt driveway will be ready to enjoy!
