With asphalt resurfacing and pavement overlays, it is not as simple as you might think to produce aesthetically pleasing long lasting results. Issues with grades, water problems, tying in with old surfaces and producing a durable long lasting finished surface all require competent people in the field. The best asphalt resurfacing results come from attention to detail and years of pavement overlay experience. Pave South & Raleigh Paving has been performing pavement overlays for 25 years using state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge compaction technology to provide you with a quality job at a reasonable price.

Properly constructed, and maintained hot mix asphalt pavement overlays offer the following advantages:

• Strengthens existing pavement
• Reduces maintenance
• Extends service life
• Provides safer pavements
• Improves ride quality and appearance
• Provides noise reduction
• Decreases liability
• Enhances curb appeal

The thickness of the pavement overlay is designed to improve a lower-than-average pavement condition, but not to provide the extra strength needed for localized, structurally weak areas. Should the overlay thickness be based on the weakest condition in the section, it would be over-designed for the rest of the section, and more costly. The proper procedure is to correct the weaker areas. Removal of structurally weak areas and patching with full-depth hot mix asphalt (to ensure strength equal to or exceeding the surrounding pavement) is an economical means of preparing for pavement overlays.

DESIGN-BUILD

Streamline your project by working with one source.

Design-build is a construction project delivery system where the parking lot design and construction aspects are contracted with a single entity. The advantages are enhanced communication, accountability, single source, and value-based feedback. In designing your parking lot we take full responsibility for quality, cost and schedule, which ultimately saves you time and money. Pave South & Raleigh Paving has the experience to design simple parking lot layouts, drainage, grades, and specifications and will provide these free with our estimate, assuming an engineer is not required.

EXPANSIONS

New parking lot construction needs thorough knowledge and attention to detail.

The usual parking lot expansion is comprised of a structural system made up of asphalt and stone that varies in depth. The recent trend in governmental oversight of new lots has been to provide parking lot design standards for the configuration and spacing of parking lots as well as landscaping, drainage and pollution abatement issues. We are familiar with all of the parking lot layout issues you might run into, and start the process of determining your needs by exploring the existing and future conditions of the proposed parking lot area. How much traffic will the lot see? How many parking spaces will you need? Then we provide you with detailed, thorough estimates, not vague quotes full of corner-cutting. We provide everything necessary, including attention to all parking lot design standards and critical aspects like proper drainage, compaction and material depth.

FINE GRADE & PAVE

Ensure a smooth transition.

Many parking lot construction projects that Pave South & Raleigh Paving takes on range from the subgrade level and up. In these cases we are able to step in, fine grade, set the stone base and prepare the surface for paving. Proper fine grading of the stone sub-base relies on thorough knowledge parking lot design standards and paving. An improperly graded stone base can be devastating to the paving operation. Pave South & Raleigh Paving guarantees that the two processes are performed in conjunction, preventing too much or too little blacktop from being laid down.
