Asphalt Repair and. The New asphalt Paving How Do you decide?

Although repairs can fix small damages or wear, significant damage will need new asphalt to be laid. Professional pavers will look at a range of aspects before offering suggestions for repairing or repaving your asphalt. This includes:

The Age of the Original Pavement

Although the majority of pavements last between 20-30 years depending on the weather conditions and the volume of traffic may reduce their lifespan by a few years. You could extend their life by as long as 15 years using the simple task of resurfacing However, when the pavement is near to the time it is expected to last it might be better to look into the possibility of repaving.

Work and effort are required

In some cases even if the cracks aren't severe The amount of work and time you invest in patching and repairs might not be in proportion to the benefits you get from Resurfacing. This is especially the case if there are early indications of the root of the issue, or the pavement is already in the middle of its life. In these instances, pavement contractors could suggest repaving the pavement instead of making repairs.

Base Condition

Because asphalt pavements consist of layers of aggregate material Resurfacing is an option if the layers beneath are not damaged and sturdy enough to support a new layer. The professionals at pavers fill in and repair any apparent cracks or potholes before laying an entirely new surface over and make your road appear like new.
