What is an asphalt overlay and how does it work?

An asphalt overlay places 1.5–2 inches of new hot-mix asphalt over the existing pavement surface. It restores a smooth, fresh driving surface without the cost of full removal and replacement — ideal when the existing base is still structurally sound.

Is my pavement a good candidate for an overlay?

Overlays work best when the existing base is structurally sound with no major cracking, heaving, or drainage issues. If the sub-base has failed, a full-depth repair or replacement will be needed for lasting results.

How long does an asphalt overlay last in Alberta?

A properly installed overlay typically lasts 10–15 years in Alberta's climate. Sealcoating every 3–5 years and prompt crack repairs will extend the life further.

What is an asphalt overlay?

An overlay applies a new layer of asphalt over an existing surface. It's a cost-effective alternative to full removal when the base is sound but the surface is worn or cracked.

How thick is a typical asphalt overlay?

A standard overlay is 1.5 to 2 inches thick. The right thickness depends on surface condition, expected traffic, and elevation constraints at drains and curbs.

Will an overlay fix bumps and depressions?

Minor irregularities can be levelled before overlaying. Significant depressions from base failure must be addressed first — otherwise the problem reappears through the new surface.
