About Asphalt Installations
Introduction to Asphalt Installations
Whether you own a commercial business or manage an industrial facility, the surface that greets your clients and customers as they come in shouldn’t be overlooked. A well-maintained and attractive exterior begins with quality asphalt installations. This comprehensive guide will outline the process, benefits of asphalt installations, and provide insights on maintenance, resurfacing, driveway installation, and sealcoating services. Concrete solutions to your commercial needs have never been clearer.
The Process of Asphalt Installation
Understanding the process of asphalt installation can be vital to selecting the right service. The procedure typically begins with site preparation and excavation, followed by base installation. This stable base layer is crucial for ensuring the durability of the asphalt surface. The asphalt layer – prepared with a mix of sand, stone, and asphalt cement – is then added, followed by compaction to strengthen the surface and ensure a smooth finish. The process is completed with asphalt sealcoating that serves as protective armour against corrosive elements and weather conditions.
Benefits of Asphalt Installation
Asphalt installations come with a plethora of advantages, all of which contribute to the appeal of your commercial property. To start, asphalt is highly durable and long-lasting which contributes to a reduction in maintenance costs over time. It’s also weather-resistant and isn’t prone to the wear and tear associated with harsh climates. Because of its black colour, asphalt retains heat which helps with the melting of snow – a big plus for regions with colder climates. Finally, its smooth finish provides an attractive aesthetic appeal and a professional look to your property.
Asphalt Driveway Installation
One specific type of asphalt installation that proves beneficial to commercial properties is asphalt driveway installation. Investing in a high-quality asphalt driveway provides a welcoming and professional impression to clients and visitors. Not to mention, the durability of an asphalt driveway withstands high traffic volumes, making it a cost-effective choice for properties with lots of visitors or heavy vehicles. Installation follows a similar process to that of simple asphalt installations – with the addition of extra considerations for handling vehicle load and enhancing accessibility.
Asphalt Maintenance and Asphalt Resurfacing
Even with its durable nature, regular asphalt maintenance is crucial in ensuring your installation maintains its integrity and appeal. Maintenance is typically a simple process and revolves around regular inspections and minor repair works as required. However, over time, some areas may need asphalt resurfacing. This is a process whereby the top layer of the asphalt is replaced, giving the surface a fresh, new look and prolonging its lifespan.
Asphalt Sealcoating Services
Another important aspect of asphalt maintenance is sealcoating. Asphalt sealcoating services provide a layer of protection to your asphalt installations. This protective seal shields the surface from potential damage from ultraviolet rays, chemicals, and oils. Not only does it extend the life of your asphalt installation, but sealcoating also enhances its appearance, giving it a rich, black finish that adds to the curb appeal of your property.
Conclusion: The Power of Proper Asphalt Installations
As evident, quality asphalt installations offer unmatched durability, visual appeal, and cost-effectiveness for your commercial properties. Services like asphalt driveway installation, proper maintenance, resurfacing, and especially sealcoating play a crucial role in maximizing the longevity and appearance of your asphalt installations. With so many benefits, clear steps for installation, and available professional services, the choice becomes evident.

About Harrison Township, Michigan
History
Harrison was first designated as the new centralized location of the county seat of Clare County in 1877. It would become a replacement for Farwell, which was the first county seat when Clare County was formally organized in 1871. The Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad platted the village in 1879 and set aside property for a new county government after the previous courthouse in Farwell burned down. The Harrison post office opened on January 27, 1880 and was named after former president William Henry Harrison. The new community incorporated as a village in 1885 and later as a city in 1891.
