Protect Yourself

As with any industry, there are companies who care more about how much money is in their back pocket at the end of the project, instead of how long your investment will last.

On a weekly basis we get calls from people who have had asphalt construction works completed that either need to be repaired, or even worse, completely ripped up and redone. Many of these calls are from people who have had asphalt construction work completed within the last 2 years.

We encourage you to look at the photos below and read the commentary. You will begin to appreciate why you must do your homework before you choose an asphalt paving company, and what can go wrong with your hard earned money.

Taking short cuts with materials and workmanship can result in driveways falling apart like this
Poor foundation preparation underneath the brick edging has caused the asphalt to crack
The foundation under this brick edging wasn’t strong enough, which has caused it to drop
Poor base compaction has caused this area to sink
Cracking due to poor base preparation
The crushed rock base has sunk, causing the asphalt to break up
This asphalt has been laid too thin, so it has worn through
The base underneath this asphalt was not levelled properly (we use a straight edge)
There should be concrete at the back of these bricks to prevent them moving away from the driveway
There isn’t enough crushed rock underneath this driveway, which has caused it to sink and crack
This asphalt has cracked because the brick edging was not strong enough to hold it in
Water is sitting against this house because the base was not levelled properly
These pavers have popped up because there were no expansion cuts in the brick edging
The grout in this brick edging wasn’t strong enough, which has caused the bricks to break away
We take the extra time to straight edge our bases to prevent puddles
An example of not enough crushed rock, poor base preparation and asphalt laid too thin – this job is only 6 months old
