If you want your pavement to last, you have to make sure that the subgrade and the aggregate base have been properly excavated, graded, and compacted for maximum strength and maximum drainage efficiency. Where the natural subgrade soil is inferior, it has to be replaced with a higher quality fill. The aggregate base course which will lie directly under the concrete or asphalt paving has to be stabilized using just the correct mix of binders. And of course, that your pavement will drain well and toward the proper direction has to be taken into account from the very start of your site work preparation.
Finding a good contractor who can get the job right for you can be challenging, especially when there are already several fly-by-night operators who are mainly just after the proverbial quick buck. In fact, considering that it’s now monsoon season here in Arizona, you can be sure there’s bound to be those roving paving scam artists riding around the neighborhood in their legit-looking trucks with legit-looking equipment going door-to-door and offering paving services and pavement repairs to unsuspecting home and property owners. They will claim to have leftover material from an earlier job and offer to patch your driveway or parking lot at a bargain price. But they will insist that you pay them in full and in cash up front before beginning with any work. Don’t be a victim. Make sure you hire only a licensed and trustworthy contractor by first making a background check with the state Registrar of Contractors (ROC) and the Better Business Bureau.
