Foundation...
Providing a solid sub-base and full stone depth under the pavement provides long life for asphalt. Some contractors will measure stone base before compaction.. Floyd Crim & Sons' sub-base depth measurements are always taken after compaction.
Asphalt...
Many asphalt companies will use recycled materials which have a tendency not to bond with new materials. By using only virgin materials in their asphalt, Floyd Crim & Sons are giving you the best results possible and ensuring the long of the finished surface. At the present and in the future, unless dictated by Government contract, Floyd Crim & Sons will not use recycled asphalt.
Sealers...
Not all sealers are of the same quality. Sealers bought at the local hardware store are not of the same quality as those used by professionals. A good driveway sealant should be applied with a spray system and should last about four years.
Parking & Commercial Lots...
We meet with the owner to figure parking and enhance exits as well as drainage. We can also help figure heavy and light duty areas. For large projects we can help set up a budget.For governmental agencies such as schools, cities and towns we can help set up specifications for bidding purposes. We can also help set up a five year budget for cities and towns.
Overlays...
We discuss options with owner to help improve existing structures. We use equipment that is able to grind asphalt to match existing structure such as concrete slabs. Most companies use one coat on an overlay, we use two, a bottom coat, which eliminates cracks, and a top coat. This lengthens the life of your asphalt 10-15 years.
 Driveways...
We prep the area and eliminate grass to set a good base. We use 6" of stone to build the base then lay two coats even on overlays and stone driveways. We use the best equipment possible like a Cedar Rapids paver which lays a better coat than powerboxes.
Street & Subdivisions...
We are pre-qualified with the state and do state and city projects. We do quality work and take the time to clean the streets, edge the grass for straight lines and kill the weeds. We use adjustable manhole insets for manholes and drains.
Walking & Golf Cart Paths...
We can do start to finish including digging out the path and laying the stone base and asphalt coat. We stay away from sensitive areas such as fairways and greens. We have our own golf cart paver and can pave a path between 5 and 9 feet wide.
