Asphalt is a durable and long-lasting surface, but it won't last forever. While patching and resurfacing can extend the life of your driveway, sidewalk, or parking lot, there will come a time when asphalt reconstruction is necessary to maintain a smooth and functional surface.

Patching asphalt addresses surface damage by filling in cracks and potholes, which can prolong the lifespan of your driveway. However, patches are weak points that eventually allow water to seep into the base. Resurfacing can further extend the life of the asphalt, but ultimately, the base will need replacement. This is where asphalt reconstruction comes into play.

Over time, weather and traffic weaken the asphalt's ability to bond, creating a brittle surface prone to cracking and other damage. If the underlying gravel base is still sound, the best approach is to remove the existing asphalt, re-grade and reinforce the base, and then install a new asphalt surface on top. If the base is damaged, the entire foundation can be replaced, with a new sub-base installed before laying the asphalt. This comprehensive replacement ensures your asphalt surface lasts as long as possible.
