Asphalt paving is a construction process used to create smooth surfaces for roads, parking lots, and driveways. It involves laying down a mixture of asphalt and aggregate materials, which are heated and then spread over a prepared base. This method is popular due to its durability and cost-effectiveness. Once the asphalt is laid, it is compacted using heavy machinery to ensure a solid surface. The result is a strong, weather-resistant layer that can withstand heavy traffic and various environmental conditions. Regular maintenance, such as sealing cracks, can extend the lifespan of asphalt pavements.
