If your parking lot is showing signs of wear but still has a solid foundation, an asphalt overlay may be the ideal solution. Instead of removing and replacing the entire pavement, an overlay adds a new layer of asphalt over the existing surface, restoring its appearance and performance while reducing project costs.
What Is an Asphalt Overlay?
An asphalt overlay involves placing a fresh layer of asphalt over structurally sound pavement after any necessary repairs have been completed. This process helps eliminate minor surface imperfections, improves curb appeal, and extends the life of your parking lot without the expense of a full reconstruction.

When Is an Overlay the Right Choice?
An overlay is often recommended when your pavement has minor cracks, fading, or surface wear but no major structural damage. Before beginning the project, a professional inspection can determine whether an overlay is the best long-term solution or if more extensive repairs are needed.
