Asphalt Paving in Santa Ysabel: What to Expect

Paving in the backcountry isn't the same as paving a flat city parking lot. In Santa Ysabel, we often deal with slopes, distinct weather changes, and softer soils.

Here is how we approach it:

1. The Inspection
First, we come out to look at your land. We check how the water flows when it rains. This is crucial. If the drainage isn't right, water will destroy your new asphalt in a year or two. We plan the grade to make sure water runs off the sides, not under the pavement.

2. Grading and Base Work
A paved road is only as good as what is underneath it. We spend a lot of time preparing the sub-base. We grade the dirt and compact a heavy layer of base material. This creates a strong foundation that prevents sinking and cracking later on.

3. Laying the Asphalt
Once the base is rock solid, we bring in the hot mix. We lay the asphalt using professional equipment to ensure an even, smooth finish.

4. Compaction
This is the finishing touch. We use heavy rollers to compress the asphalt. This removes air pockets and makes the surface dense and durable.

Why Asphalt?

You might be debating between dirt, gravel, concrete, or asphalt. Here is why we love asphalt for this area:

• Cost-Effective: It is generally more affordable than concrete, especially for long driveways or private roads.
• Flexibility: Asphalt can handle the slight shifting of the ground better than concrete, which can snap if the earth moves.
• Quick Installation: We can usually pave a driveway or small lot in a day or two. Concrete takes weeks to cure.
• Maintenance: If a crack appears, it is easy and cheap to seal.

Cost Factors to Consider

We know that budget is usually the first thing on your mind. While we can’t give an exact price without seeing the site, here are the things that will change the cost:

• Size: Obviously, more square footage requires more material.
• Prep Work: If your current ground is uneven or full of roots, we have to do more grading. That takes more time.
• Access: Can our trucks get there easily? Santa Ysabel has some winding roads. If access is tricky, it might take a bit longer.
• Oil Prices: Asphalt is an oil-based product. When oil prices go up, asphalt prices tend to follow.
