Asphalt pavement surfaces, from parking lots to driveways, are a valuable asset to any property. Maintaining and/or replacing at the correct time and in the correct manner can help to ensure a worthwhile investment.

The first step in planning your project is to assess damages. Do a brief visual inspection of your pavement surfaces. Look for cracks (both large and small) and irregular warps in the surface. This can help to evaluate both the urgency and extent of the project. Compare your findings with the chart below, which displays and ranks various conditions of asphalt. 5 is a perfect or 'brand new' layer of asphalt pavement and 1 corresponds to asphalt that is in the worst of conditions.

After doing a simple overview, the next step is to note the location of any damages. Approximate both the square footage of damaged surface and the percentage of surface that is damaged.

With this information you are more than ready to contact JP Paving. Soon you will be speaking to a member of our project-management team, and well on the way to a completed project!
