What is an Asphalt Overlay?

An asphalt overlay involves applying a new layer of asphalt over existing pavement to address surface imperfections such as light cracking, minor depressions, and general wear.

This process not only extends the lifespan of your pavement but also improves its aesthetic appeal without the need for complete removal and replacement.

Is an Asphalt Overlay Right for Your Pavement?

  • Surface Wear and Aging: The pavement appears worn but remains structurally sound.
  • Minor Cracks and Depressions: Small surface cracks or slight settling without extensive base damage.
  • Adequate Drainage: No significant issues with standing water or drainage problems.

Our experienced team will assess your pavement’s condition to determine if an overlay is the most suitable and cost-effective solution.

Our Asphalt Overlay Process

Surface Preparation: Cleaning the existing pavement and treating cracks to ensure proper adhesion.

Leveling Course: Applying a leveling layer to address minor depressions and create a smooth base.

Overlay Installation: Laying a 1.5 to 2-inch compacted layer of new asphalt, tailored to your specific traffic needs.

Transitions and Tie-Ins: Ensuring seamless connections to existing structures, curbs, and other pavements for optimal drainage and appearance.

Benefits of Asphalt Overlays

Enhanced Curb Appeal

Refreshes the look of your
property, making a positive
impression on visitors and clients.

Cost Savings

More economical than full pavement replacement, conserving resources and budget.

Extended Pavement Life

With proper maintenance, an
overlay can add 8-10 years to
your pavement’s lifespan.

Minimal Disruption

Quick application process
reduces downtime, allowing
normal operations to continue
with little interruption.

If your pavement has extensive damage, severe cracking, or underlying base issues, an asphalt overlay may not suffice.

In such cases, our Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) service reconstructs the pavement by recycling existing materials, providing a durable and long-lasting solution. Our team will evaluate your pavement to recommend the most effective approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose an asphalt overlay for my paving needs?

An asphalt overlay is a costeffective method to enhance the safety, appearance, and longevity of your pavement without the expense of complete replacement.

How is an asphalt overlay performed?

The process includes surface cleaning, crack treatment, application of a leveling course, and installation of a new asphalt layer, ensuring a smooth and durable finish.

How long will a new asphalt overlay last?

With proper maintenance and periodic seal coating, an asphalt overlay can last between 8 to 10 years.

When should pavement be reconstructed instead of overlaid?

If there is extensive damage, “alligator” cracking, or significant base failure, full reconstruction is more effective and costefficient than an overlay.

How long before traffic can use the newly resurfaced area?

Typically, traffic can resume one day after installation. We develop a customized plan to minimize disruptions during the project
