Your Questions Answered

Welcome to our FAQ section! Here, you'll find answers to commonly asked questions about our services, including hauling material, parking lots, driveways, earthwork, and asphalt services. Whether you're looking for information on installation, maintenance, or pricing, we’ve got you covered. If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact us directly!

  • What types of materials can you haul?

    We can haul a wide range of materials including gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, crushed stone, soil, asphalt, and more. Whether it’s for a residential driveway, large parking lot, or earthwork project, we have the experience and equipment to transport materials efficiently. We handle both small-scale and large-scale hauling projects. Our team ensures that all materials are delivered in the right quantities and meet the project’s specifications. Additionally, we can remove waste materials, helping with clean-up after site preparation or project completion. We are flexible to meet the unique material hauling needs of your project.

  • Is there a minimum order for hauling material?

    There is no strict minimum order for hauling material, but the cost-efficiency of hauling tends to improve with larger orders. For smaller projects, we can accommodate small quantities of materials such as a few tons of gravel or a small load of soil or mulch. Our goal is to meet the specific needs of each client, whether you need a single load or several truckloads. We can provide an estimate based on the material volume you require to ensure that it aligns with your budget and project scope.

  • How thick should the asphalt be for a parking lot?

    The thickness of asphalt for a parking lot typically ranges from 2 to 3 inches, depending on the expected traffic load. For areas with heavy vehicles or frequent use, a thicker layer may be necessary to ensure durability. The base layer, made of compacted gravel or stone, also plays an important role in the overall thickness of the paving structure. Proper grading and base preparation are essential to achieving a long-lasting and sturdy parking lot. We assess each site individually to recommend the best thickness for your needs.

  • What are the benefits of having a professionally paved parking lot?

    A professionally paved parking lot enhances your property’s curb appeal, increases functionality, and ensures long-term durability. A well-paved parking lot can improve traffic flow and minimize the risk of accidents, providing clear, defined spaces for vehicles. Additionally, professional paving ensures proper drainage, which prevents water pooling and surface damage. It can also help to increase property value, making your business more attractive to customers and clients. With the correct materials and expert installation, a paved parking lot can last for years with minimal maintenance.

  • How do I know if I need a new driveway?

    If your driveway has significant cracks, potholes, or is uneven, it might be time to replace it. Over time, weather, traffic, and age can cause a driveway to deteriorate, which could pose safety risks and diminish the appearance of your property. If you find yourself repairing the driveway frequently or struggling with water pooling, a new driveway may be a more cost-effective solution. We can assess your driveway’s condition and provide recommendations for repair or replacement based on the level of damage.

  • Should I choose asphalt or concrete for my new driveway?

    Both asphalt and concrete are durable driveway materials, but they have different advantages. Asphalt is more flexible and can handle freezing and thawing cycles better, which makes it ideal for colder climates. It is also generally less expensive than concrete. Concrete, while more rigid, offers a longer lifespan and lower maintenance, but it can crack over time in regions with temperature extremes. We can help you decide based on your climate, budget, and preferences, ensuring the best choice for your property.

  • What type of machinery do you use for earthwork?

    We use a variety of machinery for earthwork, including excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, backhoes, and dump trucks. Each piece of equipment is chosen based on the specific needs of the project, such as the size of the site, the type of terrain, and the scope of the work. Excavators and bulldozers are ideal for moving large amounts of soil, while skid steers are great for tight spaces and detailed grading. We ensure that the equipment used is appropriate for achieving the highest-quality results.

  • How do you ensure proper drainage during earthwork?

    Proper drainage is a key consideration in earthwork to prevent water pooling and erosion. We design and implement drainage systems that direct water away from your property, ensuring that it flows safely and doesn’t undermine the foundation of your construction. This includes grading the land to create a slope that encourages water runoff, installing drainage pipes, and building swales or catch basins as necessary. Effective drainage systems are crucial in protecting structures from water damage and maintaining the integrity of the land.

  • How do you fix cracks in asphalt?

    Cracks in asphalt should be repaired as soon as they appear to prevent further damage. We begin by cleaning the cracks of dirt and debris, ensuring a solid bond for the repair material. After cleaning, we apply a crack filler, which is designed to expand and contract with the temperature changes to prevent future cracking. For larger cracks or potholes, we may use a more robust repair technique, such as resurfacing the area with a fresh layer of asphalt. Timely repairs help maintain the integrity of your pavement.

  • What is the cost of asphalt paving?

    The cost of asphalt paving depends on several factors, such as the size of the project, the complexity of the site, and the materials used. Typically, the larger the area, the more it will cost. The base preparation, including grading and drainage, can also affect the price. We offer competitive pricing and can provide a detailed estimate based on your specific needs. Our team will work with you to ensure you get the best value for your investment in asphalt paving.
