What Is Asphalt?

Asphalt, or bitumen, is a sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. Its primary use is in road construction as the glue or binder that is mixed with aggregate particles to create asphalt concrete.

New Pavement

If you’re looking for the lowest cost solution for a road, driveway or parking lot you’ll want to consider standard black asphalt. Until recently, there weren’t many options beyond the standard black color and texture. But now there are tints that can be added at the end of the paving process, sealants, coatings, and coloring that can be added during mixing to change its appearance.

If your site has a slope, erosion problems, or a water drainage issue, we will properly grade the site and and prepare it. Our services include everything needed to build and maintain a stable pavement surface:

  • Base rock and surface paving

  • Demolition & surface removal

  • Redesigns to improve drainage
