Asphalt resurfacing is the process of replacing the top layer of asphalt with a new one, offering a relatively inexpensive solution for addressing blemishes on a driveway, parking lot, or paved road. This involves removing the old asphalt surface.

Determining when your asphalt driveway or parking lot requires resurfacing or overlay involves considering various factors. One key indicator is the presence of alligator cracks. These cracks develop on asphalt paving due to aging and exposure to harsh weather elements. Over time, you may observe widespread cracking in areas that regularly experience traffic, and these cracks tend to deepen or enlarge as time passes.

To know if your asphalt surface needs attention, monitor the appearance of alligator cracks as a signal for potential resurfacing or overlay requirements.
