Services
Asphalt Overlay
Asphalt overlay restores existing pavement with a new layer of hot mix asphalt. Ideal for surfaces with minor cracks or fading, this cost-effective solution extends pavement life by 10-15 years. Spears Hopkins ensures seamless bonding with a tack coat and precision grading for improved appearance and durability.
New Pavement Construction
Full-service asphalt paving for roads, parking lots, and developments. The process includes site evaluation, subgrade analysis, and compaction to create durable surfaces. Spears Hopkins uses high-grade materials and advanced techniques to meet specifications for commercial, municipal, and residential projects.
Fabric Overlay
Fabric overlay prevents reflective cracking by installing polypropylene fabric between old and new asphalt layers. This moisture barrier strengthens pavement structure, extending lifespan by up to 50%. Spears Hopkins applies this technique for roads, parking lots, and driveways needing reinforcement without full reconstruction.
Full-Depth Reclamation
Full-depth reclamation rebuilds failed pavement by pulverizing existing materials and stabilizing them with cement. This eco-friendly method creates a durable base for new asphalt, reducing costs and waste. Spears Hopkins uses FDR for roads and commercial lots with severe cracking or structural instability.
Pervious Pavement Technology
Pervious pavement allows stormwater infiltration through porous asphalt, reducing runoff and supporting groundwater recharge. Spears Hopkins installs this sustainable solution for municipal streets, parking lots, and LEED-certified projects, combining durability with environmental compliance in flood-prone or eco-sensitive areas.
