In Maine, the freeze-thaw cycle can destroy poorly built asphalt from underneath. That’s why the most important part of any new asphalt installation is what’s below the surface.

A properly installed gravel base:

• Prevents sinking and shifting
• Improves drainage
• Extends the life of your asphalt
• Reduces cracking and potholes

Site Preparation & Excavation

We begin by clearing and preparing the area:

• Removing topsoil and unsuitable material
• Excavating to proper depth
• Establishing rough grading

This sets the foundation for a stable and long-lasting surface.

Gravel Base Installation

We install high-quality aggregate in multiple layers:

• Base gravel for structural support
• Additional layers as needed for load requirements

Each layer is:

• Spread evenly
• Compacted thoroughly

Fine Grading

This is where most contractors cut corners—we don’t.

We fine tune the gravel surface to ensure:

• Proper pitch and drainage
• Smooth transitions
• Correct elevations for buildings and garages

This step is critical for:

• Preventing water pooling
• Ensuring a smooth finished asphalt surface

Compaction & Base Stabilization

Before paving, we compact the gravel base to maximum density.

This ensures:

• No future settling
• Strong load-bearing capacity
• Long-term durability

 Asphalt Installation

We install a high-quality asphalt surface designed for Maine conditions:

• Proper thickness based on use (residential vs commercial)
• Even application
• Professional rolling and compaction

Final Finish & Quality Check

We inspect every detail:

• Smoothness of surface
• Drainage performance
• Clean edges and transitions
