For many reasons homeowners and business owners may decide to use asphalt paving on parking lots or driveways. The product is designed to withstand the weight of vehicles resting on the surface and does not deteriorate as rapidly as lots which are constructed of other materials, such as grass or gravel. Unpaved areas which are needed for driving or parking tend to develop ruts and bumps when they are used by automobiles. Do you require paving for your driveway, parking lot, or other areas? If you are in search of an asphalt paving contractor in Seattle WA, the professional team at AC Paving Northwest Inc has the most trusted paving products and services in the entire Greater Seattle area.

There are a number of asphalt products which can be used to cover a driveway or parking area. The strength and durability of the surface will depend on a variety of factors. The first of these is a proper preparation of the base surface. It must be fully leveled and smoothed. Depending upon the composition of the soil, a sublayer of gravel or sand may be required to support the asphalt.

An additional layer of a less dense mix may be placed down next. The final layer is often a thick layer of a high-quality asphalt. The thickness can vary depending upon the requirements of the job and the use that will be made of the surface. Once the hot asphalt is placed over the sub-layer, the correct equipment is employed to roll out the mix to a fairly level surface.

The material in the mix is compacted with the use of job-specific equipment. If the project calls for seal coating, which is highly recommended, it will be applied. As the name suggests, the final layer seals and protects the main surface from deterioration and damage due to erosion, moisture or other problems.

We do the work in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Our technicians are knowledgeable in every aspect of the project. We have the equipment necessary to do the job right. Our operators can handle the equipment which we place on the job site.

AC Paving Northwest Inc also does repair work on asphalt surfaces. Parking lots and driveways can develop cracks and soft spots for various reasons. Repairs may just require filling in cracks and resealing the damaged areas. More extensive repairs may involve filling in soft spots or low spots. Re-leveling the area and applying a new surface layer will extend the life of the entire driveway or lot.

Applying striping to a lot will improve the aesthetic appeal. If it is a parking lot which is being re-surfaced and painted, the lines will help to define the spaces where parking is suitable, as well as the pathways where it is safe to drive a vehicle. Pedestrian walkways are also clearly marked so that the pedestrians are able to avoid getting struck by a moving vehicle.
