Asphalt Preparation & Grading

Asphalt preparation and grading are critical steps in ensuring the long-term durability and performance of your pavement. Proper preparation and grading create a stable, smooth foundation for the new asphalt surface while also ensuring proper drainage. Without these essential steps, water can pool on the surface, leading to cracks, erosion, and premature pavement failure. Grading ensures the surface is contoured correctly to handle heavy traffic and weather conditions.

The process involves clearing debris, leveling the ground, and compacting the soil before any asphalt is laid. The grading equipment then shapes the surface to the desired slope, ensuring that the pavement will drain water effectively. This prevents water from seeping beneath the asphalt, which could lead to structural damage. Additionally, preparing the foundation properly is vital for avoiding future issues like uneven settling or cracking.
