High-Quality Paving for Homes and Businesses

One of the most popular paving materials available is hot mix asphalt. With a life span of 20 years or more (with proper maintenance), it's a cost-effective way to pave a driveway, parking lot, or road.

Hot mix asphalt combines stone, fine mineral aggregates, and petroleum-based asphalt cement to create a smooth, dense surface with a grey-black finish.

Benefits of Hot Mix Asphalt

• Affordability — Asphalt is cheaper than concrete or paving stones. It costs more than chip seal, gravel, or recycled asphalt, but the durability makes it a better investment for most uses.
• Versatility — Hot mix asphalt can be used for driveways, walkways, roads, parking lots, and parking pads of any shape. It can be placed against concrete stairs or pads.
• Durability — With correct installation and proper care, asphalt pavement can last 20 years or more. Soil and environmental conditions can affect that life span, but overall, it's almost as durable as concrete.
•  Repairability — When a concrete surface cracks and spalls, it has to be removed and replaced. Unless asphalt has been badly damaged, it can be paved over with new asphalt, which is considerably less expensive than replacing the whole driveway or parking area.
• Installs quickly — The size of the area being covered is a major variable here, but in general, a residential driveway takes a day to prep and a day to pave. Residential driveway overlays can often be completed in one day.
• Cures quickly — Asphalt surfaces can be driven on within 24-48 hours after paving. Concrete, on the other hand, may take a week or more before it can be driven on.
