Important Notes & Tips
Compaction Factor: Add 10-15% extra material to account for compaction and settling during installation.
Weather Considerations: Asphalt should be laid when temperatures are above 45°F (7°C) and in dry conditions.
Base Preparation: Proper base preparation is crucial. Ensure a well-compacted gravel base for best results.
Thickness Guidelines: Minimum 2" for pedestrian areas, 3-4" for driveways, 4-6" for roads and heavy traffic areas.
Delivery Timing: Hot mix asphalt should be installed immediately upon delivery for optimal results.
