Does EARTHTEK provide free estimates?
Yes, we do. Before sending you a proposal, we will do a site walk with you to fully understand your paving project.
How Thick Should Asphalt Driveway Be?
A driveway should have 2โ-3โ of asphalt at compaction. More importantly is the sub base thickness because it supports the asphalt. Typical driveways will have 4โ-6โ of compact aggregate for the subbase. Locations with clay soils, the subbase will need to be deeper or geotextile fabric will be used to help stabilize the soil.
How often should I apply sealcoating to my driveway?
We recommend you seal coat your driveway every three years. Parking lot sealcoating will range from every 2-3 years.
How thick should an asphalt parking lot be?
A light duty parking lot will have 3โ-4โ of asphalt. This is done in two lifts. The first lift called the binder lift, will be 2โ and the finish lift 2โ. The base will 5โ-7โ deep. Heavy duty parking lots with a significant amount of heavy weight traffic can have up to 6โ-8โ of asphalt and base depth of 8โ-10โ
What is the cost to pave a driveway in South San Francisco?
There is no easy way to answer the cost of paving a driveway in Palo Alto. There are many factors that go into estimating a paving project. The most important factor is the total square footage. The more square footage the lower the cost per square foot. Also, depending on the scope of the project the price will vary drastically. A brand-new driveway will need 4โ-6โ base installed prior to asphalt paving. However, an existing driveway or parking lot we can mill the top lawyer of asphalt and do an asphalt overlay, which is going to cost substantially less. We do offer free estimates so please contact us and we will be happy to provide you with a cost to install your asphalt surface.
Is EARTHTEK licensed and insured?
Yes, we are fully insured, including workers' compensation insurance. We are licensed by the state of California. Our license #995715
Asphalt is made from aggregates, such as crushed stone and sand. The binder called bitumen binds the aggregates together, and asphalt pavement is black in color. Bitumen is produced from crude oil.
Is asphalt environmentally friendly?
Yes, asphalt is one of the most recycled items in the world. Most of our asphalt mixes are from recycled asphalt with some added virgin asphalt.
Is an asphalt driveway cheaper than a concrete driveway?
Yes asphalt driveways are less expensive than a concrete driveway. Additionally, the cost per square foot decreases more with asphalt than concrete. We can pave a long driveway a lot faster then installing a concrete driveway. While both driveways are labor intensive, concrete requires exponential more labor to install.
Can you pave over my existing asphalt?
Sometimes we will pave over existing asphalt surfaces. If the sub-base and the existing asphalt are stable, we can pave over it. An asphalt overlay is usually the most cost effect paving method. We will need to mill (scrape off) around transition areas such as sidewalks, roadways or driveway aprons.
How long should an asphalt driveway last?
Asphalt is a great material for parking lots and driveways. The appeal of asphalt is it more affordable then concrete but has almost the same longevity. A properly installed driveway will last 10-15 years in Palo Alto. If you sealcoat your driveway every 3 years, seal cracks yearly and repair potholes quickly, you can expect your driveway to last 25 years.
