A-Pak Paving Resurfaces Our Asphalt Driveway

[@FrostyThundertrod]

I am a asphalt worker from Michigan, There is many problems with this work, 1. The but joint at the road is to narrow making the bump up over the curb to high. 2. no tack was applied to the old asphalt, with out the tack the new asphalt and old asphalt will move differently and the new surface will end up peeling up. 3. The mix used has to large aggregate in it judging by the video, it is probably a binder mix , not a surface mix 4. The mix appears to be cold meaning it wont bind together has well.

[@sanantoniotonight5569]

Bingo on all counts!

[@jamesrosenkranz9850]

Not to mention how long it seemed to take before they rolled it..

[@lomparti]

Homeowner probably went with the cheapest bid. Also the fact they’re doing asphalt work in sneakers is a dead giveaway these guys are a joke.

[@YetSoAsByFire]

Did they tell you that all of the damage that the older asphalt had, that they paved over, will soon make its way through the new layer?

[@JD-kg3mx]

Right mate! The only way to do the right job is a total tear out and to replace with stone, binder and top.

[@mukbangreversed]

can we get an update on this? i mean is it still strong? or is there a video about it? let me check

[@lisab3396]

On observation, I have a few thoughts and concerns. 1) The original asphalt at the top end looked somewhat level with the garage floor. 2) These guys cut out/remove about three feet across the top and then fill in with new asphalt to the floor level. 3) They add what appears to be 2" to 4" of fresh asphalt to the entire driveway and thus raising the asphalt at the top peek to be higher than the garage floor. That would seem to cause a grade/slope towards the garage and thus with heavy rains could cause water to pool at the garage door or even leak into the garage. 4) I did not see the contractor heat up to prepare for the new asphalt to bind to and neither did I see them use a hot asphalt liquid binder. With those thoughts and observations, I would suspect that the new asphalt will begin cracking and breaking away within a relatively very short time.

[@rowdystanley2174]

Looks like homeowner went with the cheapest bid.

[@karmadump]

I've been a heavy equipment operator for 22 years and worked in asphalt for the last 7 of them. Kevin in the description is mostly on target. They did pretty nice job. It is nice to have 2 layers if you can, but you can get away with one in a small private driveway like yours. It is not going to see a lot of truck traffic, you aren't going to park a tank on it. It is fine. You can't tell how long they waited between the 2 layers at the end. If it wasn't at least a few hours, you really didn't get 2 layers. It's going to cool together as one layer which is not what you want but it's fine for a private driveway. I would have liked to see them put some tack down on the part they didn't tare out so the new stuff sticks to it a little better. The size of the roller was fine for the job, I would have like to have heard his vibrators coming on for at least one pass all the way across for better compaction.

[@jeremyd86]

you are completely dead on... and with out the tack that resurface isn't going to last

[@themonkeyhand]

I noticed they need to stay off for 5 days, I remember driving on freshly surfaced country roads growing up, are those made differently to allow immediate use?

[@karmadump]

No. What they mean is don't park on it for 5 days. An asphalt roller works like a rolling pin. Spreading and stretching the asphalt into place. Driving your car on it has a similar but much lesser effect on it. You aren't helping much but as long as it has cooled and been compacted enough that you don't sink in it, you aren't hurting it. Parking is every different. You aren't smoothing and stretching, you are sitting in one spot smashing it. You can ruin that smooth surface and maybe leave indentations where your tires were

[@technost8]

I agree tack and a bit more compaction bit non the less looks good

[@karmadump]

and to be completely fair to them Herminio, he may have just not filmed that part or maybe cut it when he edited because he didn't know it was any different than the static rolling

It looks pretty porous to me. But so did mine when it was laid. I wasn't happy with my edges as they looked a little ragged, but I can see the same thing in this video. Compaction while hot is the key.

[@2guyskayaking249]

If done right your supposed to use a rake to tap the edges as you go, then whack the edges, when done right you get a consistent straight edge

[@DavidWvu]

I was in the asphalt business for 35 years. They actually did a great job with the edges the way they compacted it. Once the dirt birm was raked back up to the edges it will look awesome.

[@MboilsUkt99]

Yes Tac coat should be used but its a straight driveway and doubt any large vehicles will be turning on it so I'm sure it'll be fine and won't break up.

[@Absaalookemensch]

Excellent work, great attention to detail, very good price. Thanks for sharing and giving the company a well done. Asphalt is a combination of 3 sizes small rocks with pitch, an unusable remnant of oil processing. All asphalt will shrink. You can apply a surface coating after a couple years to make it nice and black again and minimize shrinking and cracking. Asphalt that is removed is recycled into new asphalt, unlike concrete.

[@justinmillsap9932]

Roll/vibrate those hand joints you raked almost immediately just pinching them in, don’t step those in. Turn the burners on and let it heat up before taking off, the screed finally got hot 3/4 of the way through the driveway and tightened up the mat, no tack could make it slip where they turn into the driveway. We all do it a little differently though, finish looked good.

[@macsloan58]

I love that the guy who looks as if he is the elder statesman on the crew grabs hold of the slabs being torn up and tosses them into the bucket.

[@mrgmac777]

First off, the driveway wasn't in bad shape and could have easily been repaired to look like new and for much cheaper. Secondly, when putting new asphalt over old asphalt, you have to use tack coat for adhesion. Otherwise, the top layer can slip and cause cracking. Without tack coat, there is a good chance the new asphalt will fail and rather quickly. I know, at least where I am it is required on all driveway overlays and the same in most areas. Also, they should have used a plate compactor along the seam at the garage, where the roller can't get. A 90lb guy in fancy metal shoes isn't going to get the job done. That area will be a concern over time. There are a lot of other little things they did wrong and took shortcuts on. If I was the homeowner, I would be demanding to know why they didn't use tack coat and look for some kind of guarantee or refund, before the inevitable happens.

[@dubez3784]

so a few more thoughts . they did not put emulsion on any joints or the driveway itself considering its an overlay . they waited way too long to put the roller on , you need to pave it in a way that you can get the roller on fast so you can get proper compaction ( pull it in 2 passes , not 1 pass and do 18" by hand ) and 1 more thing is when they did roll I couldn't hear if he was running the vibes or not , with a roller that small you need to vide both ways during the breakdown process then roll it static during the back roll process. just a few observations from a 21 year vet and an owner of my own paving company ( not one like this either , I have 32 employees, 3 pavers , 2.5 crews and do over 13 mill per year in revenue )

It’s a driveway not a road

[@kamalalama-lama-ding-dong4452]

That's the only thing you have to say about this?

[@donaldbaker8025]

Driveway or road anytime you’re going new to old you need a bonding agent (tack/A1), but that’s guys are small and just starting I would assume with the lack of PPE, but I’ve seen much worse

[@jewelarender2451]

What an awesome job!!! I don't know what they are being paid, but, these guys earned every penny. It is nice to see folks that take pride in what they do.... I wish I could have this done to my driveway! ♥️

What was wrong with the old driveway?

No I’m jk idk

I do asphalt work pretty much every day, that being said I do not see any reason at all to tear up a driveway like that, everything looked good from the start, they did a great job with it all though, knowing what I know and doing what I do I wouldn’t have tore it up like that

[@jn2655]

May I ask how long it takes for asphalt to dry, and how long after it has been laid it will continue to smell? And how far does the smell travel?

[@mikehannahs]

As far as set up and drying it depends on what asphalt is being used, if it’s cold mix it can take a few good months of curing time to really get hard to where when a person turns their wheels on it the asphalt doesn’t get damaged, the cold mix to me doesn’t really smell after it has been rolled, hot mix on the other hand sets up good and hard pretty quick, by the next day it should be completely solid, even after it gets rolled down it’s solid, as far as smell goes with hot mix I notice a slight smell for a day or two but nothing at all like when it’s being laid out, for driveways especially where turning is common I’d use hot mix asphalt if it were me if you plan on doing something like that

[@splashtowntx5733]

Lol you right they should of tear the whole drive way up and did it right not do it on top of the pre-existing drive way it’s dumb

[@reggieanderson885]

You do it every day huh?? They tore that part out so the driveway would be under the lip of the garage… if they had overlapped it would have been higher and caused the rain water to drain into the garage. Also, it keeps the paver from being close to the garage

[@benjaminmaines8871]

Oh boy.... osha is fixing to have a blast with those guys

[@MrOpaulo]

finished result is above average I would hire this company

A-Pak paving did a wonderful professional job on your driveway 👍👍

[@zaptor1514]

The old asphalt was less than an inch thick near the garage door in particular and likely was sold as being four inches thick all over. A common way contractors cheat their customers.

[@alexdubu9203]

It was just the top layer they ripped up there , you could see the bottom layer still, so was most likely just a recap done from the old asphalt settling

[@PeterDriedgerSkinnysexyman]

Good day everyone your work looks amazing. I’m working for a town in Saskatchewan and I have potash to fix town roads. Could you tell me what product you recommend for us to use? The material I use currently doesn’t get hard.

[@andersonsonsasphalt5878]

Really enjoyed watching this video. Well done

[@hunterhorton3492]

I work with asphalt every day, should be tamped down where the blacktop meets the concrete at the garage and at the end too, and should've had a smaller roller fo on there to take out the lines and bumps left by the bomag roller
