An overlay involves paving a new layer of asphalt over existing pavement to restore smoothness, appearance, and integrity without removing the old asphalt.
If the asphalt base beneath surface damage remains sound, overlay can restore it cost-effectively. Extensive cracking signals a need for full repaving.
We recommend a 1.5-3 inch overlay thickness for most parking lots and driveways. Thicker overlays are possible if required.
We thoroughly clean the surface, make any needed repairs to cracks/holes, and apply tack coat to ensure bonding between the old and new asphalt layers.

Light traffic is possible after 24 hours. Allow at least a few days before driving heavy vehicles over a new overlay.
After cleaning and priming the old surface, we apply tack coat so the new asphalt layer bonds tightly. Proper technique prevents delamination.
