Asphalt Plant Schedules and Winter Repairs
Local asphalt plants do not operate during colder months. During this downtime, the only option is cold-mix for pothole repairs, which does not last as well as hot asphalt. Hard winter freezes drive freeze-thaw cycles that stress foundations, slabs, and buried pipes. Getting hot asphalt laid before the winter freeze ensures a durable surface.
Paving and Compaction Process
We start by cleaning the existing surface with an air blower to clear debris. We coordinate the paver speed with mix production, delivery, and compaction so the equipment maintains a consistent speed. For Superpave mixes, we begin breakdown rolling immediately behind the paver while the mix is hottest. We limit the roller speed to 3 mph, because going faster works the mix instead of compressing it.
Water, Grading, and Floodplains
Local floods have brought more than a foot of rain in a single day, washing out roads and bridges. You have to account for runoff on vulnerable sites. The Hiwassee River, South Mouse Creek, Candies Creek, Fillauer Branch, and Cohulla Creek floodplains flood more often. Check a property’s location before planning driveway grading or drainage changes.
Resurfacing Costs
Asphalt driveway resurfacing costs $3 to $7 per square foot. The final number depends on the total area and the specific mix required for your property. We provide an estimate after evaluating the site in person. We dispatch from Dalton and plan around local traffic and plant schedules to complete the job.
