That's why you need to trust the professionals at Florida Seal Coating to do your paving in Orlando. We offer a professional, quality, step-by-step asphalt paving services that leave roads and surfaces smooth and ready for traffic, whether it is foot or vehicle. Here are the steps involved in our quality asphalt paving process.
If an existing road or driveway surface is there, we will first need to demolish it and properly remove it before we start paving. We use heavy machinery to completely remove the surface and any remaining debris from the area.
Grading and sloping must take place next. This helps to ensure that water will properly run off the road, preventing any cracking or damaging to the asphalt underneath. This also helps to prevent potholes from developing.
This is surprisingly the most critical part of the asphalt paving process. The subbase layer provides a stable surface that will support new paving materials and also protection against the weather. It is essential to make sure that subbase layer is compacted to keep the asphalt layer durable.
Once the subbase layer is prepared and compacted, we will add the binder layer. This layer is extremely strong and durable. It is made up of a mixture of materials, including oils, which add as much strength as entire new layer of asphalt.
Once the binding is complete, it is now time to add the asphalt layer. This fresh layer makes the road smooth for vehicles when they drive. It also provides an attractive and shiny surface for the community. This is one reason it is extremely popular for driveways.
The final step of the asphalt paving process is to ensure that there are smooth transitions between the new asphalt road and any existing surfaces that it connects to. We do this by installing butts and joints along the road to provide a seamless transition between materials. We need to make sure that these joints are properly installed to allow the water to run off the road without damaging the conditions of the asphalt. It is also aesthetically important to provide a seamless look when connecting roads and surfaces together.
