Make Your Customers the #1 Priority

At Asphalt Paving of Asheville, we help your business deliver the best experience for your customers, before they even step foot in the building. First impressions are key to attracting first time customers and to keeping them loyal. Having a smooth and well-paved parking lot or driveway as a business is known to be an attractive piece for customers. Those visiting your business shouldn't have to drive into bumpy and pothole filled roads, and shouldn't have to dodge bad patches in the parking lot. Give your customers a smooth and stress free experience from the start!

Asphalt pavement is an excellent choice for your business or organization because of its quick dry time, attractive appearance, low maintenance, and affordability. These factors are important advantages of asphalt when comparing it to other materials such as concrete. We all know that some of the most important things to a business are ease of access, curb appeal, ease of maintenance, and costs. Asphalt presents a distinct advantage in all of these categories. While asphalt dries in 2-3 days, concrete typically takes up to a week to be ready for use. That means concrete may limit or prevent customers from visiting your business for longer. Asphalt also has a dark and sleek look when newly paved or newly sealcoated. This makes for a exterior look that stands out. Asphalt is easy to maintain, requiring only bi-annual sealing to maintain its surface integrity and durability. The biggest factor business look at when making investments into itself is cost and ROI. Asphalt driveways, roadways, and parking lots provide an equally durable and better looking surface than concrete, at around $3 to $4 cheaper per square foot. This lowers cost for your business and boosts return on investment.

1. Surface Preparation - Our process begins with the removal of the existing asphalt or surface, including any roots or weeds that may interfere with the new asphalt.
2. Grading - Next, we meticulously grade the surface to ensure proper water drainage, eliminating any standing water issues that can lead to potholes and cracks in the asphalt. With our skillful grading and sloping, any water that falls onto your new driveway will run off without collecting.
3. Sub Base Layer - The sub base layer installation follows, serving as the foundation for the driveway and frost barrier at freezing temperatures. We use a crushed aggregate material, such as gravel, to create a 6-8 inch layer that undergoes a quality check using rolling. If any flexing or weak spots are found, we will reinforce the area of the sub base using undercutting or geo-gridding, ensuring a strong and supportive sub base.
4. Binder Layer - The binder course layer installation comes next, using bitumen, a petroleum-based liquid, to hold the surface layer together. The liquid asphalt binder serves as the glue for the aggregates.
5. Surface Layer - Finally, we install the aggregate surface layer, composed of crushed stone, gravel, or sand, on top of the binder layer. This is the exposed top layer. The binder and aggregate surface layers combine to form fresh, smooth, and shiny asphalt around 2.5 to 3.5 inches thick, depending on desired strength.
6. Joints and Transitions - We pay close attention to joints and transitions, perfecting them to ensure a smooth surface and proper water drainage.
7. Smoothing and Compacting - The final step is to smooth and compact the whole driveway, ensuring a completely finished and flat surface. While typical drying time for your new asphalt surface is 2-3 days, curing can take up to 6 months. Nevertheless, the driveway can be used as soon as it has dried.
