Why is the gravel base so important in paving?

The gravel base provides structural support and drainage for the asphalt. A poorly built base is the most common cause of premature pavement failure regardless of asphalt quality.

What type of gravel is used for asphalt base construction?

We use processed crushed granular material that compacts well and drains properly. The grade is chosen based on load requirements and soil conditions.

Do you handle grading and base prep before paving?

Yes, base construction and grading are standard parts of our paving process. We ensure proper slope for drainage and the right base depth for the intended use.
