Asphalt paving has an average lifespan of 15 years or so. When the asphalt surface becomes worn and uninviting, the property owner should consider resurfacing the driveway or parking lot.
Asphalt resurfacing is considered a very effective method to restore the original look and feel of the block top pavement. It is also considered very cost-effective since only the top layer of the paved area is removed, saving time and money.
The process of resurfacing a blacktop starts by scraping the top layer of the area and then replaced with a new fresh layer of hot asphalt mix.
As mentioned earlier, resurfacing is a very cost-effective method, since asphalt is 100% recyclable. Asphalt processing plants do not have to manufacture new asphalt, they receive asphalt pavement removed from other asphalt reconstruction jobs and mix it with new or needed bitumen, aggregates to make a new fresh blacktop mix.
