Commercial asphalt services involve the installation, repair, and maintenance of parking lots, access roads, and other paved surfaces for businesses and public properties. This ensures durable, safe, and ADA-compliant infrastructure that supports daily operations and reduces long-term liability.
Asphalt paving involves the precise installation of new asphalt surfaces, including site preparation, base layer construction, and hot mix asphalt application. This process delivers a durable, smooth, and long-lasting surface for driveways, parking lots, and private roads.
Asphalt patching restores damaged pavement by removing compromised sections and replacing them with new, compacted asphalt. This process prevents further deterioration, extends pavement life, and improves safety for vehicles and pedestrians.
Asphalt striping defines parking spaces, directional arrows, and accessibility markings for clear, safe traffic flow. Proper striping enhances safety and maximizes parking efficiency on your property.
Asphalt sealcoating involves applying a protective layer of refined coal tar or asphalt emulsion to your pavement, preventing oxidation, water penetration, and oil spills. This process significantly extends the lifespan of your asphalt surfaces, maintaining their structural integrity and appearance in Palo Alto's climate.
Choosing All Things Asphalt Inc for your Sunnyvale project means partnering with a contractor who understands the local environment. Our proximity to Sunnyvale allows for rapid response times for estimates and project initiation, minimizing delays. We know the specific soil conditions and traffic patterns that impact asphalt longevity in this region, which informs our material selection and compaction techniques.
Our approach to asphalt work is rooted in technical precision. For new installations, we specify aggregate bases that meet or exceed Caltrans standards for load bearing, typically using a Class 2 aggregate base compacted to 95% relative compaction, which prevents premature cracking. When repairing, we don't just patch; we analyze the underlying cause of distress, whether it's subgrade failure or inadequate drainage, to provide a lasting fix. This means your new driveway or parking lot is built to withstand the demands of Sunnyvale's climate and vehicle loads.
When you work with us, you can expect clear communication about each phase of your project. We provide detailed proposals outlining the scope of work, materials, and timeline. Our project managers ensure that site preparation, paving, and striping are executed efficiently and to specification, minimizing disruption to your daily operations or home life. We focus on delivering a finished product that performs as intended, for years to come.
For Sunnyvale homeowners, preventative maintenance like sealcoating and crack sealing is most effective for extending the life of your asphalt driveway. Sealcoating should be applied every 2-3 years, using an emulsion-based sealer that protects against UV radiation and oxidation, which are significant factors in asphalt degradation in our climate. Promptly sealing cracks larger than 1/4 inch with a hot-applied rubberized crack filler prevents water infiltration, stopping subgrade erosion and the formation of larger potholes. This proactive approach significantly delays the need for more costly repairs like overlays or full replacement.
A typical asphalt driveway installation in Sunnyvale, from excavation to final compaction, usually takes 2-3 days, depending on its size and complexity. Day one often involves site preparation, including excavation to the correct depth and installation of the aggregate base, compacted with a vibratory roller. Day two is dedicated to paving, where hot mix asphalt is laid with a paver and then compacted in lifts to achieve the specified density and smoothness. Larger or more intricate driveways, or those requiring extensive drainage solutions, may extend into a third day for finishing touches and line striping.
Potholes in Sunnyvale driveways are primarily caused by water penetrating cracks in the asphalt, freezing and expanding in colder months (though less common here), or more frequently, softening the underlying aggregate base. This weakens the pavement structure, leading to localized collapse under vehicle weight. To repair them effectively, we use a 'cut and patch' method: the damaged area is cut out with a saw to create clean, vertical edges, ensuring a strong bond. The excavated area is then cleaned, a tack coat is applied to the edges, and new hot mix asphalt is placed and compacted in layers, creating a seamless and durable repair that restores the structural integrity of the driveway.
