About Paving, Sealing & Resurfacing Services We Provide
Over our many years working here in the community of Centreville, customers who have queries about the kinds of asphalt products and services that we supply have often contacted us.
Over time it seemed to as if by and large we were mainly hearing the same questions over and over. To us then, it seemed a good idea to set down the answers to the questions we got asked most often about our asphalt services and products.
What is Asphalt suitable for?
Asphalt has a whole range of applications, however in a domestic setting, there are really three main uses for asphalt:
In addition to this, it is an extremely durable, relatively low maintenance material that will provide years of effective, good looking use – at a fraction of the cost of a concrete driveway.
In terms of paths, asphalt provides a natural anti-slip surface making it a supremely safe material for use in pathways. It is also impervious to damage from commercial salt treatments (unlike concrete) which means an asphalt path is easy to keep clear of snow and ice during the winter months.
I have a commercial property – can I use asphalt for my parking lot?
Absolutely you can! All of the benefits of asphalt that we have laid out above make it an excellent choice for use in a commercial setting, whether this is a driveway, path or even a parking lot.
In addition, you should bear in mind that asphalt has two clear advantages over concrete when used in commercial settings.
One of these is cost. When you compare concrete and asphalt per square foot of installed material, asphalt is by far the cheaper option. Therefore in large-scale installations, such as a parking lot, those savings per square foot can really start to mount up quickly!
The other main advantage of asphalt is in terms of speed – in this case, speed of installation and drying time. Again, when compared to concrete, asphalt is faster to install and dries much quicker. It therefore provides a usable surface much faster, minimizing disruption to your customers – and to your business.

What is Sealcoating and is it effective?
Sealcoating is a chemical that is sprayed over the surface of your asphalt. It quickly dries to form an invisible, protective layer over the asphalt surface.
This layer protects the asphalt itself from harm caused by adverse weather and, mainly, the damaging effects of UV rays found in sunlight. These rays can cause the natural oils found in asphalt to dry out and evaporate.
If you have ever seen grey and cracked asphalt then that is asphalt that has not been sealcoated.
We recommend sealcoating to prolong the useful lifespan of your asphalt, and we offer a comprehensive range of sealcoating products and services.
Do you repair asphalt?
Of course!
Unlike concrete, asphalt is actually relatively easy to repair. Cracks in concrete usually form because of damage to the base layers – very hard to repair! Cracks in asphalt are much more straightforward, and can often be tackled with simple fillers.
Just as with sealcoating, we supply a comprehensive range of products and services designed to deal with cracking and other general repairs. Whether you prefer a “do it yourself” repair or to bring in the experts, we have everything you need so please contact us to discuss your options!
Help! I have a pot hole!
The first thing is not to panic! Yes, potholes can be both unsightly and even dangerous, but they are not as serious as you may fear!
We provide a pothole repair service, so contact us as soon as possible before the hole gets any bigger. We will remove and replace the damaged materials in the asphalt sublayers, before sealing up the repair with an asphalt “plug” – essentially a strip of asphalt that covers the repair, and prevents future damage.

Is there anything I can do about this old Asphalt?
Yes there is!
If you have an asphalt installation that is beginning to look that little bit worse for wear then you may fear that an expensive replacement will be required in the future.
Instead, why not contact us and see if we can re-surface your asphalt instead of replacing it. Re-surfacing is a cost effective service designed to easily breathe new life into an old patch of asphalt.
We really hope that you have found the above useful! Of course, we must point out that most of the answers here are of course pretty brief, so you really should just use this as a general guide of what asphalt can be used for and the types of asphalt products and services that we supply, right here in Centreville VA!
If you want more information on any of the above, if you have your own questions that were not covered here or perhaps if you would like a competitive quote for our products and services then please don’t hesitate to get in touch via E-mail or phone.
