The story of asphalt begins thousands of years before the founding of the United States. Asphalt occurs naturally in both asphalt lakes and in rock asphalt (a mixture of sand, limestone, and asphalt). The first recorded use of asphalt as a road building material was in Babylon around 615 BCE, in the reign of King Nabopolassar. We know that the ancient Greeks were familiar with asphalt and its properties. The word asphalt comes from the Greek σφαλτος (asphaltos).
The process of constructing an entirely new asphalt driveway surface begins with excavating the site to the proper grade and ensuring that the sub-grade is stable. Next, a stone base is installed to the required thickness. We then grade and compact the base and verify that driveway elevations are sufficient to ensure proper drainage of the site. Finally, we install and compact layers of hot asphalt mix, carefully rolling it to create a smooth, even finish. Once the driving paving portion of the job is done, we complete the project with line striping, traffic markings, and signage (if appropriate) all in conformance with local codes and American Disability Act standards.
