Expert Driveway Paving Contractors in Green Bay, WI

A newly laid driveway or parking lot should be resealed the following year. If your paved surface is exposed to heavy traffic or harsh weather conditions, seal coat should be subsequently applied every other year. Every 3 to 4 years is sufficient for low traffic paved areas that are exposed to moderate weather conditions.

Motor oil acts like a solvent when it comes in contact with petroleum based asphalt. When asphalt is chemically compromised, it will soften, deteriorate and eventually break up. Seal coat application can protect asphalt against deteriorating elements like weather, heavy traffic or chemicals.

Asphalt can be applied on top of concrete, but the asphalt may be subject to the heaving (especially in freezing temperatures) and cracking of its concrete base. These cracks will eventually show through the asphalt and the surface may become uneven.

It is significantly cheaper to repair damaged areas in your driveway than to wait until the entire driveway needs resurfacing. Spot repair may also improve the life of your asphalt driveway and prolong the need for complete resurfacing.

Asphalt crack repair is one of the most importance maintenance practices. Water can seep into cracks, which can compromise the asphalt and cause significant cracking or heaving in freezing temperatures. Similarly, foreign material can settle in cracks, causing additional damage to the pavement as it expands and contracts during temperature changes.
