Asphalt Replacement

Asphalt repair is a popular choice for commercial outdoor surfaces in Des Plaines, IL, due to its low cost, long lifespan, and ease of maintenance. However, excessive use, weathering, and wear and tear may eventually cause it to deteriorate. Smooth Paving offers professional help with asphalt removal and replacement.

  3. Use heavy equipment. Break up the old asphalt into smaller pieces and separate it from the underlying soil.
  4. Haul away the old asphalt. Load the broken asphalt onto a truck and haul it to a disposal site.
  5. Prepare the area for new asphalt. Grade and level the area for the installation of new asphalt, including compacting the soil and adding a layer of gravel.
  6. Install the new asphalt. Apply a layer of hot asphalt and compact it with a roller to create a smooth, level surface.
