Removal of Existing Surface: The first step in asphalt paving is removing the existing surface, whether it is asphalt or another material. If the existing surface is asphalt, it can be recycled and used in future asphalt surfaces, saving you money on materials. Grading and Shaping: After the removal of the existing surface, the area needs to be graded and shaped. This process ensures proper drainage by creating a sloping surface that directs water away from the pavement and into a grassy area. It also helps in creating a smooth and even surface for the new pavement . Surface Layer: The final layer of asphalt paving is the surface layer. It is made up of smaller aggregates mixed with asphalt binder, giving the pavement a smooth and finished appearance. This layer provides the desired driving surface and protects the underlying layers from damage .
