- We make sure the sub-grade is stable so that the driveway is built on a solid foundation. A driveway is only as good as the sub-grade beneath it.
- Making sure that the driveway grading is done so that the water drains and sheds water properly.
Believe it or not, some contractors will put very little time into grading the driveway or parking area. In the end, you may end up with a problematic area that lasts half as long as it should, or even worse, a driveway that causes water to flood your home or business.
Also, if it is a long driveway, should it be winding or long leading up to your home? Should the driveway be graded and paved with a crown, or should it be graded flat? We give you the options when we help you design your driveway properly and correctly.
When we plan with you, we design your newly asphalted area so the driveway does not crack; that is why the grading is so important when installing it. Also, it is important to plan ahead how the water will pitch away from your building, whether it is a house or business.
