Handling Cleveland's Soil and Winter Weather
Hard winter freezes in our area drive freeze-thaw cycles that stress foundations, slabs, and buried pipes. Your driveway faces the same pressure. We build on Sun Belt Southeast regional soils with local shrink-swell potential, meaning the ground expands and contracts with moisture changes. Near its Bradley County type location east of Cleveland, Leadvale soil can have a perched water table only a few feet below ground in late winter and early spring. We check for these wet subgrade conditions during those months because paving over a saturated base compromises the pavement structure.
Placing and Compacting the Asphalt
When we pave these properties, we begin compaction promptly after placement. We use a vibratory steel-drum roller for breakdown, intermediate, and finish rolling to build density and smooth the surface. This rolling sequence forces the air out of the mix and locks the aggregate together. Once the rolling is complete, we allow the newly placed asphalt to cool and stabilize before opening it to traffic.
