OUR REsidential paving SERVICES
There are several options when it comes to choosing the optimal materials to match your home’s aesthetic and give you the features and functionality you are looking for. We can advise you on the best of these driveway material options and components according to your needs:
Oil & Stone Driveways
An oil & stone driveway, also called a tar & chip driveway, has the appearance of gravel, yet offers the same impressive strength and durability as asphalt. A coat of oil is applied to the prepared driveway base before a layer of gravel is distributed over the service and compacted with a roller. Two coats of oil and stone are usually recommended. Customers can choose from various sizes and colors.
Imagine never having to shovel or plow your driveway again! Heated or radiant driveways are available in either mat or cable configurations for the ultimate in convenience and safety. Choose either full coverage or just tire track coverage according to your needs and budget. We can even create a custom system for your stairways and walkways. Can you imagine how much easier next winter will be?
Also known as blacktop, tarmac, or hot mix asphalt, this is the most commonly used material for roads and driveways, estimated to cover more than 90% of the paved roads in the US. This aggregate material is the result of stone and sand mixed with liquid asphalt cement, a petroleum product similar to oil or tar. Cost-effective and durable, it is easy to see why it is so widely employed.
No matter if you are looking to repave or simply repair, our team can handle all of your pavement milling needs. We have invested in top-of-the-line milling machines that are capable of everything from removing a top layer of concrete to smoothing the surface to a full removal. Over the years, homeowners have used our milling services to re-grade, deal with low spots that gather snow, water, and debris, and even get rid of old paving that needs to be replaced.
Asphalt reclamation, otherwise known as full-depth reclamation, is a tried and tested practice of recycling old asphalt. The process sees a base layer go down, and the chemically treated recycled asphalt layer goes down on top, bonding with the base layer. Asphalt reclamation provides several engineering benefits compared to traditional asphalt, such as lower permeability of water and oils and a stronger bond to increase the lifespan of the asphalt.
Porous paving is another take on traditional paving that uses a higher percentage of air voids to allow for water movement through rather than around or down the concrete. Due to the specialized nature of this kind of paving, a durable and load-bearing layer of stones below the asphalt is needed to prevent washouts or other issues during significant rainfall. Some popular applications of porous paving include driveways & walkways.
