About Paving, Sealing & Resurfacing Services We Provide
Proudly supplying a full range of asphalt services to the residents of Alexandria, we still come across folks who are not aware of the full range of benefits supplied by our company.
For that reason then, we’ve put together a brief overview of what we offer.
Asphalt Driveway
The classic application of this material, we lay more driveways than we supply any other product or service. With the range of benefits that a paved driveway provides then it’s really no surprise – we certainly don’t find it very surprising!
Asphalt driveways are both cost effective and extremely hard-wearing. When installed by professionals you can look forward to years and years of service from your driveway.
Parking Lot
Blacktop makes for an excellent driveway surface – and what is a parking lot after all, then a large driveway? The fast installation and drying times that have made pavement a hit with homeowners also makes it an ideal material for use in commercial properties. You don’t want your parking lot out of action for days and days after all, negatively affecting your custom. Parking lots can be laid, dried and ready for use in a matter of days – far faster than other materials, such as concrete.
Paving
Blacktop is not just a superb material for heavy-duty installations such as driveways and parking lots! Its hard-wearing nature makes it perfect for paving and pathways too. The fact that, unlike concrete, it is not damaged by the use of commercial salts to melt ice and snow means that asphalt is an excellent material to use for slip free paths in wintertime.
Sealcoating
Prevention is almost always better than cure, and seal coating is one of the most effective ways to both protect your blacktop and to extend it’s lifespan. Sealcoating is a process whereby a quick drying chemical is sprayed over the surface of the asphalt. This chemical dries to form an invisible protective layer over the surface, protecting it from damage from sunshine and extremes of weather.
Depending on how exposed your surface is to the elements will determine how often sealcoating will need to take place. Please contact us to discuss this, and we can even perform a site visit to inspect your bitumen and discuss the frequency of sealcoating, as well offer advice on any other repairs that may be necessary.

Repair
Asphalt is a wonderfully tough material that with just a little maintenance will provide years of outstanding service. With that being said though, nothing lasts forever and you can save time and money by performing repairs early before they become headaches further down the line.
For example, a small crack in the surface today can become a pothole a couple of years down the line (see below) – so it’s best to fix the problem before it can develop.
We carry a range of repair materials and literature for use in home repairs. We are also of course available for hire to carry out a wide range of repairs at your own property – and we bring with us the best materials, tools and years of asphalt repair experience.
Potholes
These nasty things will raise their heads every now and then, and even the best-laid blacktop surface can become pot-holed if not properly cared for. As we discussed above, a pothole starts as a crack. Rainwater invades this crack, leading to damage to the sub-layers and base. When enough damage has occurred, the base will crumble and crack, leaving a large hole behind.
We can fill and repair these potholes once they have appeared, saving the expense of re-laying the entire thing.

Resurfacing
Our third repair service is designed for old, weather beaten bitumen that still retains a good sub base. As we discussed above, asphalt that has not been well looked after - particularly if this means it has not been regularly seal coated – will, over time, fade and being to crack.
The pavement remains usable as a drive or path but it is no longer an attractive feature – in fact it may now be a bit of an eyesore!
Resurfacing is a far cheaper alternative to full replacement. We will simply pour a special re-surfacing asphalt product over the top of the existing pavement and, hey presto, you’ve got a beautiful paved driveway or path that is an asset to your property again.
Hopefully you’ve found the above a helpful insight into the kinds of applications and uses that it can be put too – as well as the services that we provide here in Alexandria. But of course please don’t be afraid to contact us to discuss your needs further. Our friendly, experienced staff are ready and waiting to assist you .
