Cracked or broken pavement and potholes can dramatically reduce curb appeal and leave businesses vulnerable to a lawsuit for damaged vehicles entering the premises.

Understanding Asphalt

So what is asphalt? It consists of a 95% aggregate that utilizes stone, sand, or gravel with an asphalt cement binder. That binder is an oil-based product. Heating the components together creates the asphalt on which you walk and drive every day and most commercial and industrial locations rely on it for functionality and beautifying their properties.

When installed and maintained properly, the lifespan of asphalt can last up to a quarter of a century. But if your asphalt is starting to show signs of age or that expiration date has long since passed and the deterioration has begun, we can provide the services necessary to repair, restore, or replace.

Our Services and Products

The following are our most popular driveway paving services that more people call on us to perform than any other paving contractors in the Yellow Pages.

New Construction Jobs

Office parks, schools, shopping plazas, you name it, we can build a brand new parking lot for it. We work with property managers and investment companies to assess, budget, and perform ground-up construction on new developments for asphalt parking lots.

Depending on the size, scope, and type of asphalt parking lot construction job requirements, the Orange County Interlocking Paver Company can also supply and perform work on additional products such as wheel stops, speed bumps, striping, and signage installation.

Demolition and Grading

Before new construction can begin at a property where a parking lot is already in place, that lot must first be removed from the site. Whether those twenty-five years have been kind to the materials or not, it’s time for them to go. This service encompasses demolition of the lot, grubbing the location of pavement, soil, and/or vegetation that may be present, as well as transportation of these materials away from the site.

Grading is another essential component for all new construction projects. This service focuses on changing the surface of the ground, if necessary, in order to make it more level and easier to pave.

Asphalt Repair

Even the best asphalt paving work tends to show signs of wear and tear in the form of cracks and potholes. These need to be addressed and repaired as quickly as possible for preserving your driveway or parking lot and preventing further deterioration of the asphalt surface. This will also help to avoid inflicting damage on automobiles traveling along the driveway or parking area.

There are multiple options for achieving this task, these are less expensive yet highly effective solutions for repairing and revitalizing any asphalt surface over a full demolition and new construction. Many of our customers have chosen these alternatives for rejuvenating their asphalt.

Skin Patching

Ideal for short-term repair across smaller patches of asphalt, skin patching or overlay is done to cover a separate damaged portion of your asphalt with a layer of new asphalt which is then compacted down with rollers that are specially designed to perform this type of work.

An asphalt overlay is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Every patching job is different and skin patching work can vary from one job to another based on a variety of factors. The thickness of the overlay is determined by the amount of disrepair evident in the area being patched. An area with excessive damage will require a thicker overlay than an area with lesser damage.

The drainage capabilities in the asphalt that is being repaired is also taken into consideration. If the drainage is quicker, the overlay is typically thinner than if the current asphalt has a slow drainage rate.

This option is less costly than reconstructing the asphalt entirely and it takes less time to perform the work. Our technicians can advise if skin patching is right for your particular asphalt drive or lot with just one consultation.
Sealing
The primary reason for sealing your asphalt is to protect the surface from the harsh impacts of the weather, water damage, and age. As we've mentioned above, asphalt is resilient but it's prone to deterioration over time. Shrinkage and hardening of the material can both occur and that makes the asphalt less resilient and more vulnerable to fracture due to heavy stress pressure and moisture.

To prevent this damage from becoming far worse than it should be, the surface of the asphalt can be protected with a couple of possible maintenance options.
Seal Coating
Applying a seal coat is typically done when the asphalt has lost its malleability and is no longer pliable. This is often due to overexposure to the sun and heat. Asphalt is an oil-based material and it is important that the material maintain that petroleum component. Seal coating can help to maintain the natural resilience of the material while filling in the surface cracks that threaten to allow moisture to seep in and cause further damage. This protective layer can also block UV rays of the sun and other environmental hazards that are dangerous to the asphalt. A seal coating job usually takes around two to four hours to complete.
Slurry Seal
A slurry seal is a thicker type of coating that is more akin to the aggregate composition of asphalt. That similarity to asphalt makes it more effective at protecting the surface of larger lots that see elevated levels of wear and tear. The particulate in a slurry seal makes it stronger and more resilient against high-traffic areas. It offers much of the same protective qualities as a seal coating but uses special equipment to mix and apply the material to the asphalt surface. The entire process is longer than seal coating as it could take up to half a day to apply and cure.

ADA Compliance

The Orange County Interlocking Paver Company can help your business become ADA compliant. Many times we receive calls from property owners who have been subject to a lawsuit and are eager to settle the matter in a timely fashion. Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act has set forth strict regulations by which all public venues must abide by to accommodate persons with disabilities. Our staff maintains a current knowledge on the ever-changing regulations associated with the ADA. Since these change so often, it can be very easy to be out of compliance without realizing it.

Trust the Orange County Interlocking Paver Company with all of your ADA compliance issues and we can help you fix any problems that might exist at your institution or place of business. The following are just a couple of the most common ADA compliance issues that our customers have asked us to help them solve:

Asphalt Resurfacing

The regulations for compliance are very specific when it comes to the correct elevation of ADA stalls. We can assess the extent of the violation and resurface or otherwise change the asphalt that is currently out of compliance to prevent your lot from being cited under the law.

Concrete Ramps

ADA Ramps are essential for remaining in compliance with the law. Our technicians can assess your place of business and determine where and how to design and construct ramps so people with disabilities can take full advantage of them. We have advised property owners of all types of locations and venues on the best ways to install new ramps or alter existing ramps.
