Tackling a new Asphalt Paving project on your property takes a bit of forethought, especially with the heavy summer rains and stubborn clay soil we deal with right here in Montgomery, AL. Property owners want a surface that holds up to the heat without softening or shifting. Whether you are replacing a cracked-out old driveway or putting in something entirely new, knowing what happens at every stage keeps stress low and results high.
The Paving Timeline: What to Expect
Most residential driveway paving projects move a lot faster than people think. Once you get past the planning phase, the actual on-site work usually takes just 2 to 3 days, weather permitting. Day one typically involves tearing out the old surface, hauling away debris, and grading the sub-base. Day two brings out the heavy rollers and the hot mix asphalt.
Keep in mind that curing takes time. You will want to stay off the fresh Asphalt Paving for at least a few days, and keep heavy delivery trucks off it for a couple of weeks while the binder fully sets under the Alabama sun.
How to Prepare Your Property
You can make our job a lot easier by taking care of a few simple things before the crew shows up. Clear out any vehicles, trailers, or toys from the work zone. Shut off automatic sprinkler systems that might drench the sub-base right before we lay aggregate. If you share a property line or a common access point with a neighbor, give them a heads-up so they can plan around temporary driveway blockages.
Questions to Ask Before You Sign
Never sign a contract with an Asphalt Contractor without getting straight answers first. Here is what you need to ask:
- Are you fully licensed and insured to work in Montgomery County?
- What is the exact depth of the aggregate base and the compacted Asphalt Paving layer you are quoting?
- Do you handle sub-base drainage corrections, or is that extra?
- What kind of warranty comes with the finished work?
