A BREAKDOWN IN THE DRIVEWAY PAVING PROCESS

Mar 21

Are you looking for an easy way to modernize your gravel driveway? Paving is a great option to enhance your home's curb appeal and decrease exterior maintenance. Paved driveways will look great and be easy to maintain no matter the weather or season.

But what exactly is involved with having your driveway paved. Let's discuss the driveway paving process so we can help you understand what to do when you hire a Virginia paving firm.

PHASE 1 REMOVAL

First, remove all driveway materials. No matter whether you have a gravel driveway to replace or a damaged paved space, it will be necessary to get rid of the existing material. If you are replacing an old paved driveway, the process involves removing it with a saw or similar cutting device and lifting it up using heavy machinery. The paver company will remove the pieces.

PHASE 2 (PREPARATION)

After the driveway has been taken out, it will be necessary for the area to be prepared for the installation of a new driveway. It is possible that the existing gravel that was used for the foundation of the driveway will be sufficient for the new driveway. Once the gravel is set, it is used as a drainage system for the driveway to prevent water from pooling on the driveway. The gravel must be compacted using a large rolling mechanism to ensure it is uniform and doesn't have any gaps between stones. This is important as it helps prevent any future cracks and sinkholes.

PHASE 3: INSTALLATION

Once the ground has been prepared for the driveway, it is installed with a machine that pours asphalt or concrete. This is then flattened and rolled to perfection. It will take approximately 24-48hrs for the finished driveway to dry after it has been smoothed.
