Paving over an Existing Asphalt Driveway
By: Mark J. Donovan
|
|
Asphalt paving over an existing driveway can be done if the existing
driveway is in good shape. It should be level, and free from any bulges or
trenches.
If
the existing asphalt paved driveway is crumbling and heaving, or if there
are signs of root damage, then the old driveway should be ripped up so the
base can be re-constructed.
|
Tree roots and any rocks that have
worked their way to the surface should be removed before paving over an existing
asphalt driveway. Additional gravel should then be brought in and packed
and rolled prior to paving over an existing asphalt driveway.
