Two-Phase Paving Method for Quality Driveways

At Dependable Paving Co., we use a two-phase method for driveway installation that our owner developed decades ago. This method ensures the construction of a heavy-built crushed-stone foundation with the binder layer of asphalt installed in Phase I, and the installation of the top coat in Phase II. Our two-phase process focuses on full depth excavation, thick layers of stone and asphalt, and using quality materials throughout the build to give you an asphalt surface that will last for decades.
