When it comes to paving for new construction here in Central Florida, you want something that will be durable and have long term value, but is also cost effective. For most housing subdivisions, businesses, and residential homes, the best option is asphalt. 

The Benefits of Asphalt Paving 

The property value is increased: The smooth surface is attractive, improves the aesthetics of your property, and makes a good impression, increasing the value of your project. 

Easy maintenance: Asphalt is fairly easy to maintain, especially compared to other materials. It is easy to sweep any debris away, fill any cracks, and touch up. 

Safety: Proper water drainage is vital for any project. Asphalt can be modified to promote drainage, lower splashback, and even prevent skidding. 

Durability: Quality asphalt that has been properly installed and maintained can last for decades without needing repairs. It is weather resistant and can stand up to low and high traffic areas. If there are any underlying surface imperfections, asphalt has ample flexibility.  

Affordable: Compared to other materials, asphalt typically costs less. While being easier to maintain and installs faster. 

Environmentally Friendly: Asphalt is easily recycled, reducing the carbon footprint of your project. 

Paving requires high quality materials, the right equipment, and experienced professionals, to get the job done right. The last thing you want is for water to pool on the asphalt, not only does this erode the substrates, it creates air pockets. Which means costly repairs will be necessary.

What land clearing, site preparation, excavation, and grading methods are best for your Central Florida construction project?

The details matter for a successful land clearing. What regulations and rules does it need to adhere to? How will you handle the storm water, water runoff, and collection? Are there any regulations concerning the nearby waterways?

Are there any abandoned structures, above or below ground, hazardous materials or existing underground utilities? What type of equipment will be needed? 

Before you can begin any construction project with raw land, it needs to be properly cleared. All the trees, rocks, and bushes, as well as any debris that has accumulated. It may seem simple enough, but it involves a strategic plan, heavy equipment, experience, permits, an understanding of the local regulations and laws. 

Land clearing techniques have come along way in the last decade. Modern methods allow for safer and environmentally alternatives. Not all properties are the same, the method best for your project depends on several aspects. To ensure a successful project, careful planning is always key. 

For example, some areas may require the foliage and trees to be pulverized, while others may allow burning. If you are having trees removed on a lot under an acre with an existing structure, many areas do not require a permit, but maintain at least 80 cumulative trees inches per acre. It all depends on local regulations. 

State of the art equipment is necessary for a cost effective land clearing project, it also ensures the job is done right. The last thing you want is problems down the road.

The key to lasting pavement is proper drainage, construction techniques, and quality materials. Whether it’s for a walkway, road, or asphalt driveway here in Central Florida, creating proper drainage will prevent potholes and cracking. 

Asphalt’s greatest nemesis is water infiltration. The design and installation of pavement should take into account the slope and drainage. A lasting drainage system takes into account subheading and surface drainage. 

What’s the secret to a pavement that last for years without any problems? 

Subgrade Drainage

Properly installed subdrainage is responsible for strong pavement, lasting well into the future. To preserve the subgrade drainage pipes should be installed with filters. This allows a consistent flow of water and contain small particles of soil within the subgrade. Proper materials are also important to ensure potholes don’t happen in the future, or any sinking or shifting in the foundation. 

Surface Drainage

The quality and type of asphalt mix used for a project are vital for proper surface drainage. An intact, impermeable surface creates a protected subgrade. Which means water won’t pool near the edges and water will drain properly, protecting the subgrade.
