At AAA Top Quality Asphalt, we are proud to offer the full range of commercial and residential asphalt paving services, from grading to overlays. However, we also understand these projects are significant investments, hence the need to safeguard them from rapid deterioration. To this effect, we also install concrete curbing along pavement edges, which offers excellent protection in several ways.
- Reinforces the Asphalt Pavement. When a vehicle passes over an asphalt pavement, the load is transmitted across the pavement. Without concrete curbing, this load will likely push the asphalt outwards over time, resulting in pavement failure. This explains why most high-traffic areas, like parking lots and urban streets, are usually lined with curbs.
- Provides Edge Protection. The edges of asphalt pavement are its most vulnerable point; they are the most susceptible to crumbling, chipping, and breaking due to the constant stress of traffic and environmental factors. By installing concrete curbing, we create a sturdy barrier that shields these vulnerable edges, significantly extending the lifespan of your asphalt investment.
- Improves Drainage. Another key benefit of concrete curbing is that it improves your pavement’s drainage capabilities. It directs runoff away from the pavement and towards proper drainage structures, such as storm drains or swales, thus preventing water from pooling on the surface. This is important because it prevents water from seeping into the pavement’s base layers, which can severely shorten its lifespan.
As a leading provider of asphalt paving and maintenance services across the region, we’re committed to offering solutions that make your investment last. If you’re interested in installing concrete curbing along a new or existing asphalt pavement, get in touch with us today.
