Asphalt Resurfacing by Boswell: Paving for KC Needs
If your driveway or parking lot has seen better days but the foundation is still in decent shape, resurfacing might be the smart and cost-effective option you’re looking for. Also known as an asphalt overlay, this asphalt repair method is a great way to refresh a worn or cracked pavement without the mess or expense of starting from scratch.
When is Asphalt Resurfacing Better than Asphalt Paving?
This pavement revitalization method involves laying a brand-new layer of hot mix over your existing pavement, AKA an overlay. But before that happens, we prepare the surface using a process called milling, where we remove the top layer to create a level, clean base for the overlay.
This process allows us to correct minor issues like cracking, shallow potholes, and surface damage, while keeping the strong sub-base intact. It’s faster and more affordable than a full replacement, and the end result looks just as sharp and smooth.
When is milling and overlay better than removal and paving?
We typically recommend resurfacing when:
- The underlying base is stable and doesn’t show major signs of failure
- You’re dealing with surface cracks, aging pavement, or faded appearance
- You want a fresh, clean look without the cost of a full tear-out
If your pavement is too far gone—with major foundation issues or extensive water damage—a full asphalt paving replacement may still be the better long-term solution. But in many cases, resurfacing buys you years of performance at a fraction of the cost.
