Preventative maintenance
A pre-existing pavement is a great place to start with preventative maintenance. Performing regular maintenance on asphalt can help it last longer and prevent the need for expensive repairs later on. You can prepare a checklist of tasks for a regular asphalt maintenance schedule that you can follow to ensure the pavement looks good for as long as possible. There are many ways to maintain your pavement, so make sure you use it to its full potential.
One way to extend the life of asphalt pavement is to perform regular preventative maintenance. This will allow you to extend the life of your pavement structure, which can save you thousands of dollars over the course of ten years. You can learn more about the preventative maintenance process by contacting your city engineer or director of public works. You can also get the necessary supplies and tools for the work yourself. Preventative maintenance will help you save money in the long run, so it's well worth it to consider it before investing in a new pavement.
Overlaying
Overlaying asphalt is a way of extending the life of existing pavements without completely tearing them out. This process can add several years of useful service without detracting from aesthetics or functionality. The cost of overlays may offset the savings made by not replacing the original pavement. However, proper application can prolong the life of a pavement up to fifteen years. Here are some of the advantages of asphalt overlays. These benefits make this maintenance strategy a great option for a wide variety of applications.
Overlays are only applicable over existing asphalt. This means that you'll have to take a few measures before laying the asphalt overlay. Root damage, huge potholes, and other types of damage that can't be fixed by overlaying will require tearing the structure apart. Poor drainage also makes it difficult to apply an asphalt overlay. In such cases, the surface must be graded to allow water to drain away easily. Asphalt milling is another option, which is a method of removing the damaged upper layer of asphalt to allow for an overlay to be applied.

What Clients Say
We had to replace our main sewer line and the plumbing company had to dig up a large portion of the driveway about 7 feet deep. Productive asphalt was able to come and assess the driveway as well as give me an estimate the same day. They did a tremendous job of compacting the ground again, digging out the old gravel, grinding the entire driveway and then putting down two layers of new asphalt! The driveway looks amazing! The owner of the company was very professional and friendly, even gave us pointers on how to prevent the tires from leaving marks on new asphalt. They were able to quickly fit us in, as we were in a time crunch to get this all fixed before listing the home on the market. Highly recommend them if you are looking for a great company to take care of your driveway.

We had a sinkhole in our driveway that was previously patched by another company four years ago and did not hold. I was very stressed! After seeing some very good reviews I called Productive Asphalt. Mark came over, quickly diagnosed the problem and put a plan in place. I was very impressed by his knowledge and concern for my issue. I immediately felt like I was in good hands. When his team came over the level of professionalism was immediately apparent. Mark was there to oversee all of the work and assure that this problem was corrected the right way. I am very grateful to no longer have to worry about my driveway. I highly recommend this company. They are true experts and a pleasure to work with!
