Every surface tells you
what it needs.
Cracks talk. Potholes shout.
We listen, then we pave.
Pave — Hot-Mix Asphalt · Miami-Dade County
Seven phases.
No surprises.
Every Pave job follows the same sequence. We explain each step below so you know exactly what's happening under your property — and why we don't skip any of them.
Surface Assessment
Before a single tool comes off the truck, we walk every square foot. We measure crack width, probe subbase stability, and mark drainage problems. A bad read here means a failed job in two years — so we take notes, not shortcuts.
Demolition & Removal
Old asphalt doesn't get painted over — it gets pulled up. Our milling machines grind the failed layer down to bare aggregate. We haul every ton off-site. What stays is clean, compacted base ready to bond with new material.
Subbase Grading
Miami sits on limestone and sand — surfaces move with rain and heat. We regrade the subbase to precise slope specs, typically 1–2% cross-slope for drainage. A flat lot is a flooded lot. We build the grade that sends water where it belongs.
Base Layer Compaction
Six inches of compacted limerock aggregate goes down first. Our vibratory rollers make four passes minimum — we check density with a nuclear gauge. This layer is what the asphalt actually rests on. It has to be perfect.
Hot-Mix Application
The paving truck arrives with 300°F mix and lays it in a continuous ribbon — no cold joints, no stop-and-start seams. We pave in lifts: typically 1.5 inches for driveways, 3 inches for parking lots and roads. The smell of fresh tar means it's working.
Rolling & Compaction
Three passes with a steel drum roller while the mix is still hot — first the breakdown, then the intermediate, then the finish. We target 94–97% Marshall density. Too few passes leaves air pockets; too many cracks the aggregate. The roller operator reads the mat.
Striping & Handover
Once the surface cures (48 hours minimum in Miami heat), we lay thermoplastic striping — parking stalls, ADA paths, directional arrows, loading zones. We walk the finished lot with you, hand over the warranty documentation, and leave it cleaner than we found it.
