Asphalt paving is a popular choice for parking lots due to its durability, functionality, and cost-effectiveness. At Colorado Paving and Concrete, we specialize in providing expert asphalt paving services for commercial properties, ensuring your parking lot is safe, accessible, and aesthetically pleasing.
Asphalt is a mixture of aggregates, such as gravel and sand, bound together by a petroleum-based binder. It is a durable and versatile material that is commonly used for paving roads, parking lots, and other surfaces.
Asphalt offers several advantages over other paving materials for parking lots, including:

Asphalt provides a smooth and even surface, making it ideal for vehicles to maneuver safely and comfortably.
Asphalt is naturally water-resistant, preventing water damage and ensuring the longevity of your parking lot.
Asphalt requires minimal maintenance compared to other paving materials. Regular cleaning and occasional repairs are typically all that is needed to keep your parking lot in top condition.

Asphalt can be finished in a variety of colors and textures to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your parking lot.
Asphalt paving requires specialized equipment to ensure proper installation and compaction. Some of the key equipment used in asphalt paving include:
This machine lays down a smooth and even layer of asphalt on the prepared surface.
This heavy roller compacts the asphalt, ensuring a dense and durable surface.
These trucks transport the asphalt mix from the asphalt plant to the paving site.
This machine spreads the asphalt mix evenly across the surface before it is compacted.

The asphalt paving process typically involves the following steps:
The existing surface is prepared by removing any debris, vegetation, or damaged pavement. The subgrade is then leveled and compacted to provide a solid foundation for the asphalt.
The asphalt mix is delivered to the site and spread evenly over the prepared surface using an asphalt paver.
The asphalt is compacted using a heavy roller to ensure a dense and durable surface.
The edges of the asphalt are finished and any imperfections are corrected.
