A new asphalt layer over a sound base, for driveways and lots that look worn out.
The existing asphalt and base stay in place, so there is less demolition, less hauling, and less time with your pavement torn up.
Fine cracks, rough spots, and faded gray asphalt are covered by fresh pavement that sheds water and sweeps clean.
We find and repair failed spots before the overlay goes down, so the new layer is never laid over a soft area.
On parking lots, our own crews put back the stalls, ADA markings, fire lanes, and arrows after the overlay.
| overlay thickness | Spec'd per job, sized to the traffic it will carry |
|---|---|
| base material | Existing sound base, failed spots rebuilt with compacted crushed limestone |
| cure time | Light vehicles in about 24 hours, heavy trucks 48 to 72 hours |
| first sealcoat | Wait 6 to 12 months after paving |
An overlay is a new layer of hot asphalt bonded on top of your existing pavement. The old asphalt and base stay in place and keep carrying the load. The new layer gives you a fresh surface and adds strength.
It sits between the other two options. Driveway repair fixes defined damage in specific spots. Replacement tears everything out and builds new, the way we build a new asphalt driveway. Resurfacing renews the whole surface while reusing a base that still works.
That last part is the condition. The base has to be sound, or the new layer inherits every problem under it.
Good candidates for an overlay:
Poor candidates:
If a few areas fall in the second list and the rest is in good shape, we repair those spots first and then overlay. If most of it does, an overlay is money spent on top of a problem, and we will recommend replacement.
Most overlay problems show up at the edges. Every new layer raises the surface, and if nobody plans for that, you get a lip at the garage door, water pushed toward the house, curbs that look half buried, and drains sitting below the pavement around them.
We handle this by milling, which means grinding the old asphalt down along those edges before paving, so the new surface ties in flush with the garage slab, sidewalk, street, and curb line. On parking lots, the same attention goes to drain inlets and ADA ramps, where a raised edge creates a trip hazard. Large lots that need the whole surface ground down first are a milling job before they are an overlay job.
A business lot that has gone gray and cracked tells customers something about the business. Potholes and raised edges are also a liability on property where the public walks. An overlay fixes both while the base is still good, before the lot needs full replacement.
The pavement section is spec'd per job. Delivery lanes, dumpster pads, and bus routes carry more weight than parking stalls, so those areas may need more repair or a heavier section than the rest of the lot.
We plan the order of work around your hours, services, or school calendar so entrances and part of the lot stay usable where the layout allows. After paving, our own crews put back the parking lot striping: stalls, ADA spaces and markings, fire lanes, arrows, and crosswalks. Night and weekend striping is possible for some projects.
Square footage matters, but the condition of what is already there matters as much. These are the factors that move a resurfacing quote:

Asphalt needs a dry surface to bond, so rain on paving day means we reschedule. Once it is down, cars can drive on it after about 24 hours. Heavy trucks should stay off for 48 to 72 hours.
The new layer keeps curing for 6 to 12 months and stays softer than old asphalt during that time, especially on hot afternoons. Avoid turning wheels in place, and keep trailer jacks and kickstands off it. After it cures, sealcoat it, reseal every 1 to 2 years, and fill cracks while they are small.

Sealcoating is a thin protective coating over the asphalt you have. Resurfacing is a new layer of asphalt that gives you a new driving surface and adds strength.
They can. Cracks in the old pavement can work their way up through a new layer over time, which is why we fill cracks and repair failed areas before paving instead of covering them up.
No. If the base has failed across large areas, an overlay will crack and sink right along with it, and replacement is the better use of your money.
It shouldn't. We grind down the old asphalt along the garage, sidewalks, curbs, and street so the new surface meets them flush.
Often, yes. We plan the order of work with you so entrances and part of the lot stay usable where the layout allows, and night or weekend striping is possible for some projects.
Cars can usually drive on fresh asphalt after about 24 hours. Delivery trucks and other heavy vehicles should wait 48 to 72 hours.
Wait 6 to 12 months for the new asphalt to cure, then sealcoat and reseal every 1 to 2 years.
