Asphalt is the heaviest component of petroleum, commonly used in road and parking lot construction. While many associate it with the finished surface, it's actually a refined oil product. At refineries, asphalt is separated and can be modified through various processes. These include 'cutting back' with agents for malleability, or emulsifying and pulverizing to achieve desired consistencies for different applications.

The thickness of your asphalt surface is primarily determined by the types of vehicles and expected stresses it will endure. To ensure we provide the most appropriate recommendation for your asphalt thickness, it's crucial to share as many details as possible about your specific needs with our paving experts.

A properly installed asphalt surface, using high-quality materials and executed by experienced contractors, can last 30 years or more. However, the key to maximizing its lifespan and durability lies in regular preventative maintenance. By consistently maintaining your asphalt surface, you can potentially extend its life to 40 or even 50 years, while also preserving its appearance.
