What Is Asphalt Paving?
Asphalt paving is the installation of a compacted asphalt surface over a properly prepared base of gravel or crushed stone. It is used for new driveways, parking lots, and access lanes, and also for full tear-out-and-replace projects when old pavement has failed.
In Buffalo, proper base preparation and the right asphalt thickness are important because freeze–thaw cycles, snow loads, and heavy vehicles can quickly damage underbuilt pavement.
What We Pave
Asphalt Paving Process
Site Evaluation and Grading
The process starts with evaluating the subgrade, drainage, and slopes, then grading the area so water sheds away from buildings and does not pond on the surface.
Base Installation and Compaction
A stone or gravel base is installed and compacted to a specified depth, creating a stable foundation that supports the asphalt layer and helps with drainage.
Asphalt Placement and Rolling
Hot-mix asphalt is placed in one or more lifts, then compacted with rollers to reach the target thickness and smoothness.
Final Rolling and Edges
After the main passes, the surface is finish-rolled and edges are compacted and shaped so they transition cleanly into lawns, sidewalks, or existing pavement.

How to Choose Your Range
- Use the lower bands when site access is simple, thickness is standard, and base conditions are good.

- Commercial or high-traffic lots with trucks, buses, or loading zones often require stronger designs and fall in the higher tiers.
